Gold is the one of the oldest Metals on the earth. Historians say that Gold is known to Man even before 3600 BC. Since that time mankind has been obsessed with the luster of Gold. Men small and big have lost their minds on the glitter of Gold and mesmerized by its yellow beauty.

Egyptians seems to be the earliest to have used Gold as can be seen from their rock carvings. They have mastered the art of excavating Gold and purifying it to highest degrees. The use of gold for making Ornaments and Jewellery must have been mastered by the early Egyptians as the Gold Jewellery and other Ornaments find a very predominant place among their robes from the mighty Kings to common People.

History also refers to Gold in various Epics and Religious inscriptions like the Book of Genesis, Exodus XXV, and writings of Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Pliny and others. This shows that Gold has a History of more than 5000 years in this World.

.Gold as an Ore is very widely distributed in nature irrespective of Seas, lakes, Mountains, plains and deserts. In some places it is found as unique and separate deposits with higher Purity. But in other places it is found with other elements like Silver, Copper etc where its purity is relatively low. The Purest form of Gold deposits has yielded Gold Purity of more than 92%. This Gold is used extensively for making Gold Jewellery and Ornaments of high Carat Value.

Gold has become one of the indicators of one's Wealth and the status of a Person and his family increases with the show of possession of large quantities of the Gold. Though the Gold is used in the form of Ingots, bars, and Coins when it is used as a medium of Exchange. But bulk of the Gold is used for making Gold Jewellery extensively used throughout the World.

Gold jewellery is used so universally mainly due to its beauty, grandeur, color and Luster. The Properties of Gold itself make it the best metal for making extremely intricate and elaborate designs to make it more attractive.

The article details how over Silver jewellery was seen as a cheaper alternative to gold ornaments. The wealthy scorned silver and restricted its use to their utensils. Gold was the metal used to craft jewellery for the rich and the famous. The past decade has changed this trend completely. We find that right from wedding rings, engagements rings, precious gem studded jewellery to even jewellery found on the red carpet; all of it is today available in silver.

The reason for this shift from gold to silver is quite obvious. The latter has several advantages and now with jewellery designers creating fine jewellery using silver, the consumer has no dearth of great designs to choose from. Below is a list of some of the advantages of silver over gold -

• Sturdy - Silver jewellery is known to be very sturdy as opposed to gold, which is a softer metal. Most of us who pay for gold will choose ornaments that have at least 18 karat gold in it and many will even opt for the 22 karat gold percentage. As the purity of gold increases, its softness increases also. Gold ornaments are therefore much more likely to lose their shape or break as opposed to silver, which is a much stronger metal even in its purest form. This quality of silver is what has attracted jewellers to craft wedding rings and engagement rings from this metal. The ring can be worn for years without bothering about losing its shape.
• Cheaper - Another advantage that silver has over gold is the fact that the former is much cheaper. In fact silver prices are almost half of that of gold. With a cheaper metal, if a consumer is able to enjoy higher durability, the buyer is most likely to tilt towards the cheaper metal rather than pay for gold. While silver was always cheaper than gold, jewellery designers were not creating fine ornaments with this metal. However, now since silver has become the new pet metal for jewellery designers, consumers are having a ball with the large variety that they get to choose from and all the while paying much less for it.
• Easy to stud - Silver is a metal that is very sturdy when it comes to studding gems in it. In fact even jewellers making an engagement ring prefer to embed the diamond in silver, since the hold of silver is much more than gold and therefore the chances of the gem falling off are much less. Even gems like emerald, rubies, sapphire, etc are much easier to stud in silver as opposed to gold and much more likely to stay fitted in the ornament for a longer duration.

Silver jewellery seems to have arrived and looks like it is here to stay for a long time. These ornaments have created their own special place and more and more buyers are investing in silver ornaments as opposed to gold. If the trend continues we may soon find that gold is seen only as an investment, while for cosmetic appeal the buyers will all begin to turn towards silver instead.

The love for gold jewellery seems to be universal. Be it plain jewellery or ornaments studded with precious gems, gold is a highly favoured metal. Jewellery designers also seem to love gold since it allows them the freedom to execute their designs with great ease. Weddings and special occasions are ideal for jewellery made from gold, but this does not mean that these ornaments are not used on a daily basis. Be it jewellery bracelets, necklaces, earrings, everything is made in this lovely yellow metal.

The extensive nature of gold ornaments does make it difficult to buy jewellery made from gold, which is mostly an expensive purchase. The tips below will help to make such a buy much easier and also safer -

• Purity - Not all gold ornaments will be made in the same purity. 24 carat gold is considered the purest form of gold, though this metal is too soft to make sturdy ornaments with. This is why very often ring jewellery and other such ornaments that are made of gold, will have a 22 carat purity that may go down to 16 carats too in case the jewellery is studded with gems. It is important that you learn about the purity of gold in the ornament that you buy and pay accordingly for the jewellery.

• Certification - Never make the mistake of buying gold jewellery without the proper certification. Even if you are purchasing at a store that is offering jewellery for sale, make sure a certificate is provided regarding the purity of the gold used in the ornament.

• Receipt - Another important factor to keep in mind when buying gold ornaments is the receipt. Your bill must specify the purity of the gold, the weight of the gold in the ornament and also the price that you paid for the jewellery. Many jewellers will break up the 'cost of making' and the 'cost of the material used' in order to simply the bill for the buyer. Such a bill is highly recommended since it helps if you decide to sell the ornament ever.

• Designs - Of course the design of any jewellery is what comes into play when a buyer is making a selection, however some cautions needs to be maintained on this front too. Jewellery bracelets, earring, rings and even bangles made from gold may often loose their shape or break from a certain point if the design of the ornament is not sturdy enough. In case the ornament has hooks or interlocked chains, it is best to check for sturdiness. Do check to see if the ornament is hand made or machine made. Keep in mind that hand made ornaments do cost more in terms of making charges since it takes more time and effort to design such jewellery.

Gold jewellery is a fantastic investment apart from being cosmetically appealing and this adds to the value of the purchase. Keeping the pointers listed above in mind is highly recommended when buying gold in any form.
