Jewelry Jottings: "Karat"

With gold, the term "karat" means how many parts of each 24 are pure gold.  Thus "18 Karat" gold is 18/24 pure gold.   The quality of gold can also be rated in parts per thousand... i.e. 975 gold means that the gold is 97.5 percent gold.

We will show you our gold jewelry and explain the true value of the gold used.   You can rely on us for your jewelry needs.  Custom orders are welcome.

We can also recycle your old gold into new and beautiful designs, that will keep you up to date on todays design trends.
