They all have different mechanical properties such as strength, hardness and ductility (plasticity) , and some alloys should be subjected to thermal treatment to obtain maximum strength and rigidity. There are gold alloys that are optimized for the manufacture of jewelry by various methods, such as plastic deformation , molding and stamping.

How can it be changed color and why different alloys of gold (an alloy is a mixture of two or more pure metals ) have different mechanical and other properties? To answer these questions in depth requires a good technical knowledge in the field of metallurgy . Nevertheless , we can give some simplified answers .

Almost all of the usual color of gold products are embodied in the gold-silver -copper alloys , often using a small amount of dopants .

All of these three metals have the same crystalline structure ( mainly cubic lattice , FCC), as well as compatible with each other over a wide range of materials. Typically such additives are substances such as zinc and silicon, iridium, cobalt and metals such as nickel .

Doping with gold alloy with zinc ( about 1-2% ) can improve the mobility of the melt and , consequently, ” casting ” the properties of the alloy , and the addition of silicon improves the surface properties of gold alloy, ” Occupancy “form of the product. The increase in content in the alloy of zinc ( up to 10% ) can improve the ductility of the alloy, which is important in the production of jewelry in 14 carat and below by pressing from a sheet. Adding metals with low melting points, such as zinc, tin , cadmium and indium can get lower melting range for the alloy .

Patina is a thin green layer of copper sulphate, which is formed on copper and copper alloys due to corrosion. This term can also be used for shades on any surface, formed as a result of aging and use. Adding copper to copper nitrate can produce a wide range of colors from bright turquoise to green and brown.

Patinatsiya most often occurs on copper and copper alloys, but may also occur on silver. Gold and platinum amenable patinatsii very bad, because they do not oxidize in air. Nor can patinatsiya on the tin, lead, aluminum and tsieke.

For patinatsii jewelry jewelers use a variety of techniques and recipes. For patenatsii silver used sulfur, which converts the surface of silver jewelry in sulfate silver. If you soak the silver in solution is more time and adjust the temperature of the solution, we can obtain a series of surface color jewelry, such as red, orange, brown, purple, blue, green, gray. More silver surface darkens to black.

Light, bright colors are obtained by exposure of silver in the solution from a few seconds to half an hour. If you need to get on the silver surface black film, you can use a mixture of hydrochloric acid and tellurium, called “Maximum black oxidizer”

The product is made of gold alloy known as 9- carat DF, nominally 37.5% Au-10.0% Ag-44.5% Cu-8.0% Zn, which is the main working 9- carat yellow gold alloy used throughout the jewelry industry .

The band delivered to the customer in the annealed condition (strength according to the specification HV 110-115) and extends through the seal of the provisional molding receiving a result of ” tube ” spiral wound on a cylindrical core. The result is a ” roll ” in the form of earrings, rings. The rolls are cut into individual earrings with diamond saws with a cutting edge and pass through a conveyor oven to relieve tension before assembly into the final product . After stress relieving , welded rods and lugs and has already finished product undergoes an intensive process of finishing . Any necessary diamond cutting is carried out before the final examination and submission.

After finishing on the surface of earrings became apparent random ” spot “. Additional finish most of the products did not lead to the disappearance of spots, which led to the formation of a large quantity of scrap (waste) . This proved to exist only in some specific size or type of earrings and has become increasingly manifest . A physical check of the band , destined for the client , no external defects such as bumps or blotches were found and the band met all the requirements set forth in the order. Inspection of the returned earrings detected the presence of reaction in the spots , which indicates that the surface reaction occurred after delivery .

A test was conducted to identify processes that , at what stage the first time the appearance of the defect . View brought the band once again confirmed the absence of visible defects or inclusions . Upon completion of the process of forming several coils were carefully examined and the surface was found to be satisfactory . Coils have been cut once again been examined as separate earrings and passed through the conveyor oven for stress relieving . Examination at this stage revealed the presence of black inclusions in multiple earrings that were difficult but not impossible to distinguish with the naked eye . After the finish , inclusions were eliminated , resulting in the formation of spots on the question . Apparently the mud from the furnace was provided on earrings during the process of stress relief .

Jewellers

In this case , good after sales service, produced by the supplier is invaluable to organize a rapid and cost-effective resolution of problems. This article gives some examples of when the failure occurred not for the reasons that were suspected in the beginning, and will show you that good technical support can save money , time, and give an advantage over competitors, as well as help the jeweler to better understand the materials used and processes .

Jewelery industry in Europe and the U.S. in recent years are increasingly beginning to rely on technology. As a result , a significant increase in the number of specifications provided to the semis. This led to an increased need for technical support in the selection of alloys , determining the quality and, in particular, in resolving the situation with the materials . To this end, the supplier of ingots or semi should provide technical support as part of the after-sales service package that provides a full range of customer services.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the use of service provider is an invaluable tool for the manufacturer of jewelry . It can be used to resolve and determine the causes and ways to solve problems , to solve that otherwise would be too expensive . From the producers can not expect the knowledge of all available analytical techniques and , as such, they may be unaware of their existence and potential.

Typical Service Department consists of several divisions :

• Metallurgy - responsible for resolving the problems of domestic production, the development of alloys and technical queries and faults of the customer .
• Production Engineering - responsible for the identification, purchase and installation of equipment and installations for the company. This department is also responsible for equipment and installation to resolve emergency situations.
• Analytical Chemistry - responsible for the maintenance of internal tests to ensure that all products are sent to meet the minimum requirements of the tests. This department is also responsible for structural analysis and identification of impurities

When choosing wedding pearl jewelry a number of factors must be considered. First being the type of pearl.There are four types of pearls: Akoya (most popular choice), Tahitian, South sea, and freshwater.Next factor is the quality of the pearl.

The quality and value of a pearl are based on six criteria:

Luster & surface : Luster refers to the amount of light that is reflected from the pearls surface. The higher the luster, the more valuable the pearl.

Nacre: Nacre refers to the pearls thickness. The thicker the layers of nacre, the longer the pearl will last.

Color:Pearls come in a variety of colors. Common colors are white, cream, yellow, pink, silver, and black. When selecting pearls, one should choose a color that compliments one skin tone.

Shape:Round pearls are most desirable and valuable.

Size: The size of a pearl can vary greatly. The larger the pearl, the more expensive the pearl is. People most often buy the largest size pearl they can afford.

Matching :Matching refers to how closely the pearls match within a piece of jewelry such as a pearl necklace or pearl bracelet. It is nearly impossible to find two or more pearls that match identically, so the closer the pearls match, the higher the value of that piece of jewelry.

After a bride has selected the type and quality of the pearl she wants, it is then time to decide on the type of pearl jewelry she would like. It is believed that a bride that wears a pearl necklace on her wedding day will have good luck.There are many styles of pearl jewelry available. There are pearl necklaces that come in six different lengths, pearl bracelets, pearl pendants, pearl rings, and pearl earrings.

The most common type of wedding band is gold. Gold is a soft precious metal that is classified by color and karats. There is yellow gold, white cold, and rose gold. The most common karats for gold rings are 14 and 18. What this means is, 14 karat gold jewelry consists of 58.5% gold and 41.5% other metals such as copper and zinc. 18 karat gold jewelry consists of 75% pure gold and 20% alloys. 24 karat gold jewelry is jewelry made out of 100% pure gold. 24 karat gold is not recommended for making rings. The reason is that the more gold in the ring, the softer the ring is. The softer the ring is, the less durable the ring and the shorter life span the ring will have. 14 and 18 karat gold will not tarnish, but some people do have allergies to the precious metal, so choosing a gold wedding ring may not be a choice.. 14k yellow or gold wedding bands retail from $60.00 to $5,000+. 18k yellow or white gold wedding bands retail for $85.00 to $5,000+.

Platinum is a gorgeous white precious metal that will last a lifetime. It is a very dense, heavy precious metal that is the strongest of the precious metals, yet it is too soft for rings. Even though platinum is a 95% pure white metal, ruthenium and isidium must be added for strength. Platinum wedding rings tend to feel heavier on the finger, but is very durable and a preferred choice for both men’s and women’s wedding bands. Platinum is also hypo-allergenic. Platinum rings retail from $350.00 to $5,000+.

Titanium is the strongest metal known to man, but it is less known in jewelry making. This metal is hypo-allergenic and can be inlaid with gold, silver, or platinum to create beautiful bands that will be treasured for a lifetime. When electricity or heat is used, Titanium oxidizes which makes the metal appeared colored. Some of the most common colors are purple, blue, and iridescent. Titanium wedding bands can not be soldered, which means resizing becomes impossible. It is also one of the harder metals to cut through should the band need to be removed due to an emergency. Titanium wedding rings retail from $150.00 to $4,000.

Silver is a very soft white metal that is prone to tarnishing and discoloration. Silver wedding bands work well for people who are on a tight budget. However, because the metal is very soft, silver wedding bands will not last near as long as a gold, platinum, or titanium wedding bands. Silver wedding rings retail for $50.00 to $200.00.
