What Does 9ct Gold Refer To?
9ct gold refers to the purity of your gold. This is important as it allows
scrap gold companies, like us here at Hatton Garden Metals, to determine how
much to pay for your items.
When we test 9ct gold, we typically use acid testing. This involves filing
your items to remove any tarnish or plating to expose the base metal. We
then apply a small amount of acid; 9ct gold will usually produce a slight
fizz and leave a dark orange-brown stain on the item. This reaction confirms
that your item is 9ct gold.
Additionally, we use X-ray facilities to test your items. This powerful
jewellery X-ray technology provides a detailed breakdown of the metal’s
composition
9ct Gold in the UK: A Popular Choice.
9ct gold is by far the most popular choice among UK customers for crafting
jewellery. The majority of gold jewellery submitted to UK Hallmarking
Offices is stamped as 9ct gold, reflecting its status as the preferred
material for bracelets, chains, and high-street jewellery.
This gold alloy is instantly recognizable for its durability and distinctive
yellow-gold tone. Its hardness ensures that jewellery made from 9ct gold can
last for many years, though it is common for the surface to show minor
scratches over time due to its use.
In the UK, any jewellery made from 9ct gold must be hallmarked to verify its
authenticity. You’ll find the 9ct gold stamp on your jewellery, serving as a
hallmark to confirm its quality and composition.
Which Items Are Commonly Made in 9ct Gold?
Jewellery items commonly crafted in 9ct gold include pieces typically
purchased from high street jewellers, such as pendants, chains, curb
bracelets, heavy ID bracelets, rings, and necklaces. 9ct gold is often the
manufacturer’s first choice due to its durability and ability to last for
many years.
If an item is made of 9ct gold and was purchased or manufactured in the UK,
it will feature a hallmark from a UK assay office. This hallmark includes
the numerical stamp 375, indicating that the item contains 375 parts gold
per 1000.
