All You Need to Know About Gold
Getting to Know Gold
Gold has always been considered a valuable possession, thanks to its rarity and luster. Its role in shaping human history cannot be ignored either. From being a symbol of wealth and power in ancient times to the present-day investment opportunities, gold has served multiple purposes. In this blog, we will take a closer look at gold and its types, with a focus on gold jewelry. We will also talk about MJ Christensen’s process of buying gold and why we stand out from the rest.
A Golden History
Gold has a rich and fascinating history. It's believed to be one of the earliest metals discovered and used by humans, dating back to 4,000 BCE. The ancient Egyptians used gold to decorate their mummies' masks and tombs, while the Greeks and Romans used gold to craft beautiful jewelry. During the Middle Ages, gold was also used to create religious icons. As time passed, gold became more accessible, and people began using the precious metal for more everyday objects like coins and decor for homes.
Types of Gold
Gold comes in different types, including yellow, white, and rose gold. Pure gold is too soft to be used for jewelry, so it is often mixed with other metals to increase its durability. Yellow gold is the most traditional type of gold used in jewelry. It is mixed with other metals like copper and silver to make it tougher and more resistant to scratches. White gold is made by mixing pure gold with nickel, zinc, and other white metals. It is often plated with rhodium to give it a bright, shiny finish. Rose gold, also known as pink gold, adds copper to the gold alloy to give it its distinct pink color.
