Extra Large Seamless Hoops

Solid Gold

Fine metals and the sliding scale of karats: 10k, 12k, 14k, 16k, 18k, 24k. You can usually tell the level of karat by the color of the gold. Lighter the gold, less in karat. Higher the karat, the deeper the yellow it becomes. 10k is less gold content and higher ratio of metal alloy. 24k is pure gold all way and nothing mixed with any metal alloy, very brittle and soft. It is always mixed with a metal alloy for structure and durability. The most common sturdy and well made fine jewelry that can hold up and stay gold is 14k, 16k, 18k; this is the a happy well balanced medium.
