DID YOU KNOW? 24K Gold is soft enough to move with our hands
While gold is a highly prized and valuable metal, it is not known for its durability. In fact, when it comes to jewelry that needs to withstand everyday wear and tear, platinum is often considered a superior choice. The reason for this lies in the softness of 24-karat gold, which is so malleable that it can actually be manipulated with bare hands. This inherent softness is also the reason why you will rarely come across jewelry made entirely of 24-karat gold.
To enhance its strength and durability, 24-karat gold is commonly alloyed with other metals. By combining gold with different alloys, jewelry makers are able to create gold alloys of varying karat values, such as 18K or 14K. These alloys strike a balance between gold's lustrous beauty and the ability to withstand the rigors of everyday use.
So, while pure 24-karat gold may be too delicate for practical purposes, the art of jewelry making has found ways to harness its precious qualities by alloying it with other metals. This ensures that jewelry can maintain its elegance and allure while standing up to the demands of daily wear.
As stated in a article by Vogue, the Cartier Love bracelet has attained such widespread popularity that New York City hospitals have taken the remarkable step of stocking Love screwdrivers in their wards. This ensures that in the event of an emergency, medical personnel are equipped to safely remove the bracelet from patients' wrists, if necessary.
Did you know that Alfred Cartier was the first jeweler to successfully use platinum in jewelry-making.?
Alfred Cartier achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the pioneer jeweler to effectively incorporate platinum in the art of jewelry-making. During the 19th century, platinum held an exorbitant price tag and was predominantly utilized by royalty for crafting cutlery and watch-chains. Given its exceptionally high melting point, working with platinum posed significant challenges. Hence, Alfred Cartier's adoption of this magnificent and durable metal in his jewelry designs, starting in 1847, was an extraordinary accomplishment. He skillfully integrated platinum into his renowned "Garland Style" creations, enhancing the brilliance of diamonds in the process.
