After all, there are many myths associated with them.

To understand this issue, it is necessary to learn in more detail everything about this alloy.

However, over time, this has become less relevant. That's why this alloy began to be used for the manufacture of jewelry.

Here are the main pluses.

1. It is worth noting the great similarity with real gold. It's not just about visual similarity.
2. Such material has rather high plasticity indices, which makes it possible to make products of unusual shapes out of it.

Medical gold contains a large number of different metals.: and silver, and copper, and titanium, and even zinc. But what is characteristic, despite this name of the metal, gold itself may not be in the composition at all.

To prevent this from happening, everyone jewelry is recommended to be purchased in specialized stores.

But if this is not possible, then it is worth knowing the following.

• Items made of real gold have a standard, thanks to which you can find out the amount of precious metal in the alloy.
• Jewelry made of medical gold has no purity. After all, the noble metal is used here only in small quantities. However, it may not even be in the lineup.
• If the products are not properly cared for, then they will lose their attractiveness over time.
• Price also plays an important role. If the seller of such jewelry offers to purchase a product of the highest standard at a large discount, then the buyer in this case needs to be wary and think about whether to make such a purchase. Before purchasing jewelry, be sure to familiarize yourself with the prices for jewelry.
• You also need to know that real rare and expensive stones are never framed in such an alloy. Accordingly, it is simply impossible to buy jewelry with sapphire or diamond made of medical gold.

You can also test the offered gold. It is enough to drop just one drop of iodine on the inside of the product... In the event that it is real gold, a dark speck should remain in the place of the drop. Medical alloy will not react to iodine; it will be enough to simply wipe it off. There will be no damage left.

When evaluating, it is also necessary to determine the weight of the decoration.... After all, real connoisseurs know that gold items, especially of high standard, are rather massive and heavy. Concerning medical alloy, it is lighter and more shiny. However, if a person is completely ignorant in such matters, then it is worth seeking help from a real specialist. This will not only allow you to avoid troubles, but also save you from unnecessary worries.

After that, you need to add a small amount of gold to them and heat everything up to a temperature of 900 degrees. Ultimately, a small layer of gold must be applied to the finished product.

In the second case, we use electroplated coating, which is applied using a special rolling technology.

Especially if a person uses it too actively.
