Consider The 9ct Eternity Ring

Most people when ask about how familiar they are about gold only know about the 24 carat, 18 carat and 14 carat. Most people don’t even know what a carat is. Because of this lack of knowledge, you’ll tend to end up with something more expensive than what you can really afford. Take for example your wife asks you for a 9 ct eternity ring. The first thing that you should research would be what an eternity ring means and what’s a 9 ct is. I’ve made things easier for you my readers by writing a starters heads up about it so read on.

We all know gold is an expensive metal alloy. The more gold alloy you use in a jewelry, the more expensive it’s going to get. A pure gold jewelry would have a 24 carat label. Although I’m sure you like your ring to be made of pure gold, it’s a bad thing really. Gold is a very soft alloy. If you have pure gold, it will tend to bend or scratch over a short period of time. Nobody wants that. So jewelers add other metal alloys in the mixture. These other metals are tougher than gold and also a lot cheaper. So if you see a 14 carat gold, that means is 14 parts gold and 10 parts other metals. If you want your jewelry to be tougher and cheaper, the more metal alloys, the cheaper it will cost you.

For your 9ct eternity ring, that means your ring will have 9 parts gold and 15 parts other metal. That’s not really a bad thing. The deep rich gold luster will not be as good as the 24 carat ones but the difference is not marked. Your ring will be a lot tougher though. This is perfect for people who work a lot and handle a lot of things because this ring can take a beating. A 9 ct eternity ring will only run you 50 USD compared to a 500 USD ring that’s 18 ct gold.
