Why do jewelry like to be inlaid with K gold instead of solid gold?

★★ Features ★★
K gold has high hardness, low toughness, high brightness, is not easy to deform, is not easy to wear, and is relatively cheap (compared to platinum), while pure gold is too soft, and a more complicated design cannot be done. The labor cost of K gold is relatively high. After the molten gold is recovered, only 50% is left, and only 50% is left after the back-and-forth loss. Therefore, the recycling price is low, and the production cost is relatively high. Most of them are imported from foreign products. In addition, its hardness and wear resistance can more firmly fix the diamond.

★★ Craft ★★
K-gold technology is more demanding than pure gold, and it has to go through more than ten processes (briquetting, wire drawing, heat treatment, electroplating, etc.). Therefore, the workmanship is meticulous, the appearance is refreshing, the surface is smooth and the inner light is strong. Pure gold processing is relatively simple, and can be processed in general manual workshops; while K gold processing is difficult, often requiring many large-scale machinery and precision instruments, and the processing personnel are also more professional, thus increasing the cost and management expenses. In addition, the ratio of raw materials is also a very important link in K gold, and pure gold is relatively less demanding.

★★ Style ★★
Compared with yellow platinum, K gold has more styles and is more adaptable to craftsmanship. Some styles that platinum can do can also be done with karat gold, while some platinum can do with karat gold but cannot. Because of the strength and flexibility of K gold and low melting point, it is easy to shape and shape, and it is very expressive. Therefore, it can create different styles, and can convey fashion information more delicately and abundantly. Less and wears faster than karat gold (because it is softer than karat gold). Because of the hard material and long wearing time, the design of K gold jewelry puts more emphasis on its artistry, and the design requires professionals, while the popular range of pure gold is narrow, and most of them use traditional styles without much design.
