Gold has always carved out a golden name for itself in heart of mankind

The metal called gold has always held a place of significance across cultures and time. It is a precious and auspicious metal that is gifted at weddings, festivals, or special occasions. In some culture, it symbolizes the goddess of wealth and is considered a holy metal.

Why gold is favored metal for jewelry making

Gold is the preferred metal to be worked upon owing to its four features:

·         It is virtually indestructible

·         Ease of working with it

·         Malleable nature

·         The shiny and lustrous look

The uniqueness of gold lies in that an ounce of this metal can be beaten into a sheet of 5micrometres thickness. Pure gold can never rust, tarnish, corrode, or be destroyed by fire. Another interesting fact is that gold is recyclable and is known to mankind for over 6000 years, yet it never stops to evoke a feeling of desire. The gold we own or wear could have been a part of Cleopatra’s jewelry or could have decorated King Solomon’s Temple.

 Types of gold

Gold comes in four distinct colors

·         Yellow Gold

·         White Gold

·         Rose Gold

·         Green Gold

Any one of the above-mentioned types of gold can be used for jewelry making, as a hollow gold rope chain.

Hollow chains can be used to make a variety of patterns but the hollow rope chain is the most popular.
