Basic jewelry language

Some commonly used jewelry terminologies are described below. Without the proper knowledge of these terms, you may face pitfalls. As gold is not used as jewelry alone, instead it is a means of investment and deposit. So before going for gold, diamond or any precious stones, one must be very clear about the terminologies and what will be the best choice for them.

  • Purity/fineness

In order to increase the strength of the gold while making the ornaments and all, some alloys have been added to it. So, all gold pieces will not be 100 % pure and the purity is expressed in decimals or percentages.

  • Karat

This is again another way of expressing purity. One karat gold means 1/24th of the whole weight of the gold. So 24 karat gold will be 100 % pure and the 22 karat version means, 2 parts will be composed of base metal or alloy and the remaining 22 parts are gold.

  • The 4 Cs of diamond

Clarity-one can identify the presence of blemishes like scratches, pits, etc on the surface of the diamond or some inclusions internally. these flaws are affecting the clarity of the diamond.

Color-In the diamond, if the visible color should be less, we can categorize them as high grade. The mucky yellowish r brownish colored diamonds are the low rated ones.Since the color is due to the composition, the colorless diamonds appear to be brighter compared to the colored stones.

Carat-it is the general measuring unit of a diamond’s weight. Normally 1/5th of a gram is known as a carat which is equivalent to 200 milligrams.

Cut-the sparkling of a diamond is greatly influenced by its cut. For a precisely cut diamond, there is a chance of maximum intake of light and all the light will get reflected total internally. Some may reflect the light through sideways and bottom and they may contribute less light on the upper surface reducing the dazzling brilliance of it.

Understanding the standards

Nowadays, many jewelers fail to provide 100 % trustworthy items in diamondand gold. As the customers how can we check the authority of these jewelers? For that, some specific standards have been coined and those who strictly follow those are reliable.  In order to increase the strength and enhance the color of gold, copper and silver are mixed with gold. As mentioned earlier a 22-carat gold is used for jewelry making and it is 91.6 % pure. So the internationally accepted standard of gold is 916Pure gold. The grades of gold and its alloys are standardized according to the Indian standard IS 1417. This procedure of assessing the purity of gold is known as hallmarking. So, the pure gold is marked as BIS hallmarked and for the customers to identify them they have included the BIS logo, Fineness number, mark and year of the hallmarking, logo of the BIS license holder,etc.Many jewelers are strictly following these standards and take the additional cost from the customers. But the renowned jewel makers, Waman Hari Pethe prices are very affordable.

They can offer their supplies in different categories like women’s jewelry, menjewelry, coins, and bullions, etc. in Women’s section itself, you can go for wide varieties like mangalsutra, pendant sets, rings, necklaces, bangles, etc. And the value additions are done with the diamond collections also.
