Whether you're buying gold earrings as a gift or for yourself, it's important to know the true value of the opal bracelet you're buying. The first thing to mention is the karat purity of the gold. This is a fineness index used to rate the amount of gold in any piece of gold jewelry. This means that for every milligram of gold, other metals make up 23 milligrams. Normally, Opal Rings starts at 9ct clarity. Gold-plated jewelry can have a carat value for the plating and various metals that make up the bulk of the item. Any solid gold jewelery needs a hallmark to be sold in the UK, but the hallmark alone does not guarantee that the jewelery is gold. Silver and platinum jewelery also needs a hallmark to be sold in the UK. A three-digit number should be engraved into the metal to indicate its purity. These numbers range from 375 which is 9 ct and 999 which is 24 ct.
