What does 750 mean on jewelry?

Have you seen jewelry with 750 stamped on it and wondered “What does 750 mean on jewelry?” Understanding this mark's meaning will enable you to make informed buying decisions when investing in high-quality pieces like those found at Pompeii3!

What Does "750" Stand For in Jewelry?

It refers to the gold content in jewelry; more precisely, this signifies that 75% of its metal is composed of pure 18-karat gold. Put another way, out of each 1000 parts used for this piece of jewelry, 75% comprise pure gold while 25% may contain other alloys such as copper or zinc for durability or color retention.

Pompeii3 offers exquisite 18-karat gold engagement rings and wedding ring sets made to provide lasting luxury and durability, perfect additions for lifelong jewelry wardrobes!

Why Select 18K Gold Jewelry

There are various reasons that 18kt, or 750 Gold, jewelry has become so popular:

1. Durability

Since 24 karat gold (pure) can be too soft for everyday wear, alloyed with stronger metals has long been used as an additive to strengthen it and make 18 karat gold more resistant. 18kt gold contains 25% additional metal alloying elements which ensures your chain, cross necklace or other jewelry piece can stand the test of time!

2. Color

When added alloys are introduced into gold alloys, their colors can alter its hue to give you greater variety in its hue and finish. Rose gold's beautiful pink hue comes from copper while white gold typically contains either silver or palladium for example.

3. Value

With 75% gold content, 18-karat gold has a much higher intrinsic value than lower karats such as 14K (58.5% gold content), making it both valuable and practical when selecting engagement rings, necklaces, or any other fine jewelry pieces for engagements or fine pieces such as bracelets.

How 750 Gold Compares with Other Purity Levels

Gold jewelry comes in different purities - from 9K (37.5% gold) to 24K (100% gold) - so understanding its differences will enable you to select pieces best made to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

• 9K Gold (375): 9K gold is more affordable and more durable due to containing higher percentages of alloys; however, due to less gold content it has less prestige.
• 14K Gold (585): 14K gold offers the ideal combination of affordability and durability, which makes it popularly chosen as wedding ring sets.
• 18K Gold (750): 18K gold provides the optimal combination of luxury and durability, perfect for investment pieces like gold engagement rings or classic chains.

Misconceptions About 750 Gold

One might assume that higher purity gold, like 24K, is necessarily superior; this may not necessarily be the case, as its soft nature renders it impractical in many pieces of jewelry; 24K pieces tend to be susceptible to scratches, dent, and bend more readily than 18K versions; thus making 18K the superior option when considering engagement rings, necklaces or wedding ring sets as potential purchases.
