Although pure gold is 24 carat and many countries use pure gold, (or close to it with 22ct for their jewellery) the Australian market usually prefers the look of gold mixed with alloys.<\/p>\n
The Australian industry is highly regulated which means that your jewellery, whether it is gold, silver or platinum, should have a stamp mark indicating the gold content.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, it is no problem if your jewellery is not stamped as we can test it for you and confirm the gold content.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As a rough guide;<\/p>\n

9ct, 9k, 375: \u00a09ct gold<\/p>\n
10ct, 10k, 416: \u00a010ct gold<\/p>\n
