Some buyers inquired about the meaning of gold alloy.

It is defined as follows:

Gold alloy is mainly composed of gold, silver, copper and so on.

For example:

Some people take metal to pawn you. You will worry because you do not know what elements are mixed together and the X-ray machine in your shop which can just test the surface of the gold only 0.6μm deeply, it can’t test the inside of the sample.

We do not think most people are familiar with gold alloys.

Therefore, we must discuss the gold, copper, silver and other mixed relations.

Most gold is the alloy of silver and copper excepting 24K (pure gold).

For example, 18K gold includes 18/24 (75%) gold and 6/24 (25%) copper, or silver & copper or silver. Therefore 18K gold products have different densities according to their different ratios.

Thus gold karat should be divided into three typical alloy samples:

gold-copper alloy, gold-silver-copper alloy, gold-silver alloy.

Generally speaking, gold-copper alloy looks reddish, gold-silver alloy looks bluish and gold-silver-copper alloy looks yellowish.

Our products can test the karat and density of gold, but can not distinguish the content of gold alloy. We believe these issues are important for pawn shops. Therefore, we design unique software to display all data similar to gold alloys for you reference. Such as: C, CS, S, D, CP, SP, CSP etc.

Do you know the meaning of these symbols such as: C, CS, S, D, CP, SP, CSP etc.?

C means copper;

S means silver;

CS means gold-copper-silver Karat;

S means gold-silver karat;

C means gold-copper karat.

D means Density.

P means purity of gold sample;

CSP means purity of gold-copper-silver alloy;

SP means gold-silver alloy purity;

CP means gold-copper alloy purity.
