Notes
1. ^ The purity of alloys of gold is expressed in karats, (UK: carats) which indicates the ratio of the minimum amount of gold (by
mass) over 24 parts total. 24 karat gold is fine gold (24/24 parts), and the engineering standard is that it be applied to alloys that
have been refined to 99.9% or better purity ("3 nines fine"). There are, however, places in the world that allow the claim of
24kt. to alloys with as little as 99.0% gold ("2 nines fine" or "point nine-nine fine). An alloy which is 14 parts gold to 10 parts
alloy is 14 karat gold, 18 parts gold to 6 parts alloy is 18 karat, etc. This is becoming more commonly and accurately expressed
as the result of the ratio, i.e.: 14/24 equals .585 (rounded off), and 18/24 is .750 ("seven-fifty fine"). There are hundreds of

possible alloys and mixtures possible, but in general the addition of silver will color gold green, and the addition of copper will
color it red. A mix of around 50/50 copper and silver gives the range of yellow gold alloys the public is accustomed to seeing in
the marketplace.
