Scrap Gold Parties

Alloys of precious metal are used in settings for jewelry to create breathtaking arrangements. If you closely inspect any gold jewelry, you will notice three or four tiny marks stamped into it. Some of these marks are trade and handlers’ marks. A hallmark is also present. This signifies the amount of pure gold present in relation to a base metal, such as copper or silver. Gold alloy is measured in carats. Pure gold of 24 carats is rare in such ornaments, being too soft to work. A more common hallmark is 22, which is 22 parts gold to two parts base metal by weight.  With gold being so valuable, I have noticed that you can have a scrap gold party.  Women especially are selling gold at jewelry parties and cashing in.
