Many people love the look and shine of gold, and perhaps buy it because it "looks nice" and they can wear it with nearly anything. While the visual appeal of gold is definitely a selling point, some customers want to understand the karats in our Miami Cuban link chains and what they mean in terms of purity. Pure gold is too soft to have it be the only precious metal in a piece of jewelry, and that's why you'll see pieces listed as 10 karat, 14 karat, 18 karat, and so on. At Daniel Jewelry, we have an assortment of karats, and can promise that each gold chain is of the highest quality.

A karat tells the number of parts of gold in 24 parts of alloy (since pure gold is 24 karats). Gold is often mixed with copper or silver to make it more durable, and the higher the percentage of gold, the higher the karat. For example, 14 karat gold has 14 parts fine gold and 10 parts other metals, equaling 24 parts. A lower karat will mean a harder piece of jewelry, since there's less gold in it, but the color of the piece will be less yellow, since the copper or silver will be more prevalent.

If you have any questions about the karats in our Miami Cuban link chains, or just want to know more about any of our products, please feel free to contact us. We love helping people find the perfect piece of jewelry and the finest gold chains on the market.
