¡¡Gilt jewelry is very popular because of its fashionable design, style, color and favorable price. Noble metal metallurgy, jewel cutting and grinding, master handicraft, and the brands are the international consumption fashion nowadays.
Gilt: based on the ion exchange principle, the processing product is covered with K-gold. According to the thickness of the K-gold, the gilt can be classified into two types: ¢Ùgilt with 10K¡«24K gold, and the thickness is 0.2¦Ìm, it is called Gold Plated; ¢Úthe thickness is less than 0.2¦Ìm, it is called Gold Flashed. But in the jewelry market, both of them are called gilt.
Material for gilt jewelry:
¡¡Alloy is a kind of artificially synthesized metal. It has a wide range of application. The quality of jewelry made of alloy is lower than these made of copper and so is the hardness. But the alloy jewelry has favorable price and fashionable design, except that it is easy broken if under strong pinch. On the contrary, Copper has strong toughness. Although the alloy¡¯s hardness is less strong, it has smooth finish, fashionable design and color, and more weight. Also, the high quality alloy has fewer holes.
Gilt category:
¡¡According to the material, the gilt can be classified into two kinds: one is the same kind material,that is the processing on the gold (silver); the other is the different material, that is the processing on the non-gold (silver).
Performance and maintenance:
Avoid friction, in case of the surface drop-off
Avoid long time contact ion with sweat
Avoid the contact ion with the soup and other acid base products
Far away form the cosmetics, avoid contacting with the cosmetics
The hardness of the copper gilt is high, but that of the alloy gilt is low. Avoid pinching when wearing.
Identification
Color: the gilt jewelry has good smooth finish, high light, and the color is lighter than the gold and silver
Weight: the weight of the gilt is much less than gold and silver.
Sound: if throwing the gilt on the desk or floor, the sound is clunk; the sound of gold and silver is silvery.
The weight of the gold and silver is much more than that of gilt, but the toughness is less. The gold and silver becomes better as time goes on, but the gilt is on the contrary.
¡¡Additional, copper gilt platinum are nearly the same with platinum and has more light, the surface is smooth and non-discoloring.
The K-gold surface of press gilt jewelry has copper and silver, so it is easy to sulfurized and oxidized and form filam on the surface to change the color of the K-gold. Cleaning must be done constantly (except the common gilt product).
Either long-time wearing or short-time wearing, the cleaning must be done every week. First, the jewelry must be cleaned with washing powder, and then water and dry with cloth at last.
¡¡Attention: all the cleaning measures are only fit for the real press gold jewelry. If there is pearl or imitation pearl on the jewelry, please do not clean in the water. It is bad for the pearl¡¯s surface and the cementing compound. All the gild products in the market are not suitable for the cleaning measures above.
