Pure 24K Gold
Gold's purity is measured in karats, or "k," so with pure gold you'd have 24k. In its pure form, gold is a very bright, intense yellow and is impractically soft for jewelry.
Is gold bonded jewelry worth anything?
If you're looking to resell your gold plated jewelry item and want to know if it is worth anything, the truth is that gold plated jewelry items are not worth much. The reason for this is that the coating, or layer, of gold on the outside of the item is so thin that there are only a few microns of gold in the plating.
Gold Filled Jewelry consists of 2-3 layers of solid gold (bonded or pressed) with other metals a brass, silver, or other base metal. These layers of solid gold can have different karatage (10K, 14K, 18K and 24K). Gold filled jewelry is a typically a better alternative to gold plated jewelry.
