What does 585 gold mean?

585 gold: compositions of alloys with various metals, their density, application features

This metal has been familiar to people since time immemorial. And for almost as many years it has been a symbol of power, wealth and power. Coins were minted from it and amulets were made, and skilled craftsmen created unique crowns, tiaras, rings, earrings and bracelets. However, ancient jewelry was massive due to the nature of the soft and fragile material. Modern jewelers most often use ductile 585 gold.

Characteristics of the precious metal

It is hardly worth stating categorically that modern jewelry is entirely made of the noble solar metal, which ranks eleventh in the periodic table. This means that earrings, watches and rings are made from gold-containing alloys that are more suitable for jewelry production.

The attractive design of the work and the pleasant shine of the products on display are not a complete list of arguments for purchasing the same ring or pendant. To understand what quality of jewelry the seller offers, it’s worth remembering what 585 hallmark gold looks like in accordance with the state standard of the Russian Federation :

• a letter designating the specific State Assay Supervision Inspectorate that issued the mark;
• a girl's head in a kokoshnik, looking to the right;
• three numbers indicating how many parts out of a thousand are Aurum in a particular alloy - in fact, the sample itself.

Another information can be obtained by carefully examining the product. As a rule, the manufacturer's name mark is found nearby. It is customary to mark products in many countries with symbols that allow one to understand the value of the purchased item.

Physical properties

In Russia, the percentage composition of 585 gold looks like this: the main component is 58.3% Au and the alloy is 8% Ag and 33.5% Cu. This allows the soft precious metal alloy to become harder and makes products made from it wear-resistant.

The share of the main noble component in alloys with the same digital combination on the stamp is also 585 parts by weight, even if the composition was manufactured in other countries. But the ligature may well be different. Therefore, we can definitely speak only about the content of the base substance in the 585 sample product.

The density of such gold ranges from 12.85 g/cm3 to 14.76 g/cm3 . The indicator how much heavier an ingot of this alloy is than the same volume of water directly depends on the characteristics of the added metals. The specific gravity of 585 gold is almost equal to the density indicator and is inextricably linked with it.

Adding new qualities

It is not known for certain when craftsmen first discovered that various metals could affect the properties of gold alloys. However, this discovery made it possible to create surprisingly thin and elegant products, while the thing was quite durable. Some additives allow the resulting alloys to be used in medicine and industry.

The alloy (the so-called addition to gold) can use one metal or a combination of two or three. Each of the components gives the alloy certain qualities :

• a content of 8 percent or more platinum will make the alloy elastic;
• the addition of palladium will provide plasticity;
• silver improves malleability;
• the copper alloy will add hardness while maintaining ductility, but at high concentrations (14% or more) the alloy can oxidize;
• the presence of zinc will increase fluidity;
• the alloy with nickel acquires greater hardness;
• aluminum gives the alloy anti-corrosion properties;
• cadmium, like zinc, lowers the melting point.

Color palette

The natural color of gold is bright, sunny yellow, but various alloys can make their own adjustments and give the alloys amazing shades. Jewelers use this property to create original products and do not refuse the opportunity to add less valuable metals with desirable qualities to noble metals.

Bright colors up to red are provided by the presence of copper. The silver additive, depending on the percentage, will give rise to a greenish tint at low doses or white-yellow if the argentum is about a third of the mass of the alloy. Chromium and cadmium alloy will color the alloy black. Such a product must be coated with a rhodium layer.

The use of noble platinum helps create the so-called white gold. The aristocratic and elegant trend has remained at the peak of popularity among jewelry lovers for several years now. But since the resulting alloy is very expensive, the jewelry industry often uses cheaper alloys :

1. The white tint of a gold alloy appears when it contains at least 10% palladium.
2. A greenish color may indicate the presence of zinc additives.
3. A pale yellow color can be achieved by adding nickel to the composition, but it is worth considering that this metal can cause magnetic and allergenic properties. Undesirable features of the influence of ligatures on humans are neutralized by a special coating of the product, which will have to be renewed.

Domestic traditions and modernity

In Russia, red gold has always been valued - the purest. Today, products made from a material with the same name can be either 18 carats (750 standard) or 22 carats.

Traditionally, copper is used . Thanks to its presence, red tones appear, the intensity of which depends on the percentage of this particular additive.

However, the 583 sample has become most widespread since Soviet times, and only in 1994 the transition to the international standard was made - 585 sample. This means that the alloy now contains 58.5% precious metal, 0.2% more.

Alloys and their features in different countries

Different countries formed their own jewelry traditions; different metals were included in the ligature, which is why the density and specific gravity of the alloys were different.

Even externally the products differed in color:

1. Arab craftsmen make jewelry from raw materials of at least 750 standard. Due to the low content of added metals and high gold content, the products have a characteristic yellow color.
2. In Italy, jewelers use gold alloys containing silver for their work. Thanks to this metal, a very specific cold shade of yellow is achieved, which connoisseurs and connoisseurs consider aristocratic and noble.
3. For Europeans and Americans, yellow gold is traditional. This is what wedding rings are usually made from. Moreover, in America, many products have only 9 carats, which corresponds to 375 fineness.

A little about investments

You can often hear the statement that when buying jewelry, a person is making a profitable investment, because gold practically does not depreciate. This is not entirely true. Indeed, antique unique items by famous masters can be very expensive, and auctions confirm this: collectors are willing to pay a lot of money for antiques.

However, they are not interested in ordinary “jewelry,” and in a pawnshop they will not offer the amount for which they were purchased for a beautiful ring or brooch that belonged to their mother. Moreover, they will only value gold, and even then as scrap. But considering that there are not so many antiques, what option remains?

Experienced experts advise: if you really want to invest money in precious metals, it is better to buy bank gold bars of 999 purity.

They are soft and require special storage conditions. Aurum in them is almost perfectly pure, its content is 99.9%. This is the highest grade in the metric system, but is rarely used for jewelry.

What is rose gold - how does it differ from yellow gold, 585 and other samples, price per gram, etc.

Gold is the most famous metal. It has many exceptional properties, for which it is especially valuable. In this article, we will not discuss the use of gold in electronics, space or other industries, but will focus solely on jewelry applications. Nowadays, showcases have been replenished with another variety of gold, which attracts attention with an unusual color and shade - pink.

Pink gold

Rose gold has been known for a long time. Previously, it was believed that if a gold product is pink, this indicates an incorrect ligature and a violation of the manufacturing technology. Such jewelry was perceived as a waste and was not highly valued.  

The reason was that since ancient times, gold products had only two colors - yellow and red. If the ratios of ligature metals were violated or not observed, the product, instead of the expected colors, acquired an unusual intermediate shade - pink.  

Currently, rose gold is experiencing a rebirth, which is accompanied by a significant increase in demand for products made from it. This happens due to the development of jewelry design art. Indeed, modern rose gold is embodied in beautiful and stylish forms, often encrusted with precious stones.

Designer products made from it 

An original engagement ring decorated with diamonds. An expensive craft made of high-carat rose gold. Rose gold inlaid with precious stones.
A stylish and expensive ring with sapphires.

What types of samples are there?

Rose gold has almost the same fineness scale as red or yellow gold. These are the 375th, 585th and 750th samples.

The most common gold grades used to make rose alloy jewelry

Rose gold differs from red and yellow gold only in the proportions of silver and copper content. Moreover, the ratio of proportions for each sample is different. For example, for 18-carat rose gold, the traditional composition formula is as follows:

We recommend reading: Precious metals market: results of April 2015

Rose. Au = Au75% + Cu16% + Ag9%,

where Au rose - rose gold alloy; Au - pure gold content; Cu - pure copper content;

Ag is the content of pure silver in the alloy.

585-carat rose gold is the most wear-resistant and durable.

Table: Proportions of gold, copper and silver in alloys of different jewelry grades

Metric sample number	gold	silver	copper	Color and shades
375	37,5%	25%	37,5%	Products are dark pink. It looks vaguely like 583 red (Soviet) gold.
585	58,5%	9%	32,5%	Products in soft pink color.
750	75%	9%	16%	Due to its high pure gold content (75%), 18k pink alloy looks almost like yellow gold. Jewelry made from this alloy has a bright yellow color with a delicate pink tint.

How is it different from yellow and what is better?

Finally, we come to find out which gold is better? Red, yellow or pink. The answer is clear - none! This is the same thing as having a discussion about which bread is better - round or brick (with the same composition and weight). It all depends on the individual taste and appearance of the product when combining colors.

Taking into account that the color pink is more attractive to the female part of the population, it is quite natural that it will be in great demand when buying gifts for March 8th. Therefore, when choosing, be guided by your personal perception and financial situation.

The main thing is that the jewelry is pleasing to the eye.

Cleaning and care

When cleaning and caring for rose gold, be guided by the general requirements and rules applied when performing similar operations with jewelry of other alloys. This means soaking in special solutions and grinding and polishing. Be careful about the acids and abrasives you use. Do not use sharp, hard objects.

Photo gallery: How to care for pink items

The last stage of cleaning is polishing with a soft cloth. Removing stains in hard-to-reach places using a toothbrush. Special paste can be purchased in jewelry boutiques and stores.
Be careful when exposed to active chemicals based on acids and alkalis.

Price per gram

When selling or buying rose gold, be guided by the content of pure precious metal in the product and exchange prices for this metal.

We do not recommend buying or selling jewelry in non-specialized places and points of sale. It would be more correct to limit this circle to jewelry stores and pawnshops.

Unfortunately, when purchasing gold jewelry from the public, only the weight and content of the pure substance are taken into account, and not the actual cost of the precious item, that is, when sold, the color of the gold alloy does not affect the cost of pure gold. Scrap gold jewelry of red, yellow, green colors of the same weight and standard will have almost the same price. The only exceptions can be jewelry inlaid with precious stones and white gold due to the content of platinum group metals.  

Purchase of gold items in jewelry stores and pawnshops, as of 05/01/2016, is carried out at the following prices:

• 375th sample in the form of scrap at a price of 860–950 rubles per gram;
• 583–585 samples in the form of scrap at a price of 1320–1470 rubles per gram;
• 750th sample in the form of scrap at a price of 1710–1890 rubles per gram;
• 999th sample in the form of scrap at a price of 2000–2300 rubles per gram.

Nowadays, products made from rose gold alloy are no longer considered unusual. You can increasingly see them at jewelry exhibitions. Famous presenters of television programs, festivals, and artists, along with classic jewelry made of white, red and yellow gold, also prefer jewelry in pink shades.

585 gold

Jewelry, exquisite and sophisticated, invariably attracts the attention of fashionistas of all times and peoples, and 585 gold invariably empties men's wallets.

However, the stronger sex also does not hesitate to decorate themselves with gold cufflinks, rings with precious stones, tie clips, gold watches from famous manufacturers - and who would refuse a symbol of wealth and luxury , power and status?!

Expensive jewelry adds self-confidence through the effect it produces and arouses the envy of others with its modest but noble shine. What else is needed for happiness?

About the features of 585 gold

Today, 585 gold rightfully occupies a regal position in a jewelry store window. Its price is most affordable for all categories of the population. Products made from such gold not only look great, but are also very durable (even with constant use) due to the high percentage of copper in the alloy.

585 gold means that it is made from an alloy consisting of 58.5% pure gold, the rest being alloy metals - 8% silver and 33.5% copper.

Thanks to this ratio of metals in the alloy, the product acquires special hardness, strength, malleability, and does not tarnish in air.

585 gold is also called red gold , because... Previously, this alloy of gold and copper was used to make chervonets and other coins.

According to the British carat system, 585 is equal to 14 carats. The color of gold of this standard varies from white, red, yellow to green in different shades.

Previously, during the Soviet Union, 583 gold was considered popular. However, European 14K gold, which matched our 583 standard, was considered to be of higher quality.

Then it was decided to change the standard from 583 to 585, so that our gold would not be inferior in price to gold produced in the West.

On products with hallmark 583, a sickle and hammer are stamped as an hallmark next to the digital designation of the hallmark against the background of a five-pointed star, and on products with hallmark 585, the hallmark is a woman in a kokoshnik, looking to the right.

585-carat gold is widely used for making jewelry. A wide variety of jewelry is made from this alloy - pendants, rings, bracelets, pins, tie clips, earrings, crosses, etc. The only thing is that yellow gold wedding rings are more popular, especially in the West.

Very often, vintage-style family heirlooms are ordered from jewelers made from pure gold. Such products go wonderfully with both white and any other gold. 14k white gold consists of 585 parts of gold and 425 parts of nickel or palladium alloy.

Various types of 585 samples

Jewelry factories widely use 585 gold in their production.

Due to the strength of the alloy, you can use a variety of modern technologies: blowing, weaving, laser welding, etc., creating masterpieces from thin gold, which nevertheless has sufficient strength.

A wide range of products are made from 585 gold: pendants, wedding rings, pins and tie clips, earrings, crosses, church utensils.
Nowadays, they make a lot of rings for piercings and various little things for the VIP public, such as key chains, gold watch cases, etc.

The composition of the 585 alloy to create white gold is as follows: 585 parts of gold, and the rest is an alloy of nickel and palladium. With a predominance of palladium, the alloy is obtained with a white-steel tint. If nickel predominates, then yellowness appears in the reflection. It also happens that rhodium is added to the alloy, which leads to a cold blue tint.

There is Turkish-made gold with this 585 hallmark. It is worth checking it carefully so as not to buy a fake. Moreover, according to eyewitnesses, you can pay extra right in the store, and they will put a 585 hallmark on the product you just bought here - such equipment in the modern world is not that expensive and is quite common.

As a result, in 2011, buyers estimated the cost of gold per gram of 585 purity to 750 rubles, and in stores, at the same time, such a gram cost from 1200 to 2400 rubles.

But still, 585 gold is not the most expensive, and an engagement ring will cost you from 1,500 rubles. It is clear that if it is with diamonds, it may cost more than $1000. But in Russia, 585 gold is the most popular. And even some jewelry stores and chains include this number in their names.

Fakes

Of course, it is impossible to protect yourself 100% from buying counterfeit gold.

The simplest way to protect against this is not to buy gold anywhere, but only in trusted places, with a receipt, etc. Usually these are the largest jewelry stores, with a reputation lasting several decades, at least, and currently thriving. Don't get too excited about lower prices in a small jewelry department.

When purchasing jewelry, be extremely careful. Calmly and slowly inspect the product from all sides for differences in color and accuracy of workmanship, especially in areas of soldering or welding. Everything should look extremely neat, like in a highly professional production facility. In order to look at everything in detail, ask for a lens, or carry your own with you. In good jewelry stores, the seller always has lenses.  

Find on the product label the name of the metal, the sample, the name of the manufacturer, and the price per gram. All this information must be present on the label.

Unfortunately, there is no concept of a warranty period for jewelry. And if you are unlucky with your marriage, you will have to prove everything yourself. For example, just an examination for defective jewelry costs more than 1,000 rubles.

But if you receive the result of the examination in your favor, you have the right to sue the seller of the defect for all damages, including the cost of this examination.

Sometimes financial difficulties push people to sell gold jewelry, so knowing what the cost of gold per gram becomes very relevant. Unfortunately, the conditions of the Russian market are still quite harsh; there is no established easy system for selling gold jewelry and clearly established prices.

Remember and tell your friends and acquaintances!

The chemically pure metal gold is very soft. Products made from it are easy to rivet and bend. To increase its strength, various metals are added to gold. Most often copper and silver. The higher the standard, there is more gold in the product, but it is softer and not practical. Therefore, many say that such gold is worn on holidays, but for every day you need to wear 585 gold.

Some say that in Russia Russian gold is valued more than Turkish gold. But this is naive, gold is neither Turkish, nor Chinese, nor Russian.

But, experts will object, how can we explain that gold from different countries with the same hallmark has a different color? And it's very simple. The difference in color is simply due to different alloy (impurities in the gold alloy).

In Russia it is customary to add more copper. This metal gives the alloy a reddish tint (red gold); imported ones add more silver, and the shades of the product are yellower, brighter, reminiscent of the color of pure gold.

Vintage in jewelry

Over time, everything ages: cars, clothes, everything deteriorates and becomes covered with rust. But jewelry survives centuries well, thanks to the noble properties of precious metals. Moreover, over time they acquire the properties of noble origin and deep beauty.

Take a close look at museum rings or necklaces. They are not at all similar to the products of modern jewelers, other eras, other concepts of beauty. Even the cutting of the stones is completely different, the patterns and shapes are all different, each curve is characteristic and not similar to modern ones.

In addition, something made by hand, without mass production, preserves the soul of the artist of the jeweler who made the bracelet or ring. Therefore, vintage jewelry is back in fashion and popular.

Only products that are at least 20 years old can be considered vintage, and it is desirable that it be made in line with the current fashion trends of that time. Experts believe that vintage items can be classified as products made no later than the 60s of the last century.

Gold rings from those times perfectly express the essence of their time; they are original and unique works of jewelers. Only one ring can define your image, creating a mood and attracting charm, and when you wear it, you can confidently assume that no one else has the same ring.

But not only the impression of its appearance is important, the energy of the story that lies within it is important. Even with a quick glance, this is immediately noticeable; thoughts come to mind about those who once wore it. It is difficult to compare these feelings with anything: after all, you can imagine that you are the girl who wore this ring many years ago. But someone gave it to him for some reason?

This secret behind seven seals is the soul of such vintage jewelry, and now you are involved in it.

With each antique product you will receive new facets of human history and its own special beauty. Of course, you need to look for objects that are in tune with your thoughts and character. It can take half a lifetime to assemble a collection. But with each new exhibit it will become more and more valuable to you.

Possible mistakes when purchasing

You can find vintage gold everywhere: in an online store, 585 gold, at an auction, in a pawnshop, depending on your luck. First, you need to carefully examine the jewelry for chips on stones, breaks, cracks and scratches.

Bring a powerful magnifying glass with you to these examinations. And yet, the flaws found are needed not only for making a purchasing decision, these flaws can dramatically reduce the price of the item, and that’s what you need.

It is not at all necessary that the authors of the jewelry come from a well-known jewelry company. Obviously, in this case there is a greater likelihood of quality and authenticity of the metal and stones, as well as the durability of the product.

True, in special salons you can find rings that are much cheaper, but not inferior in quality and beauty to the items made by legendary craftsmen.

If you can't afford old vintage items, no problem!

Nowadays, designers are creating entire collections of jewelry in a vintage style, and you can choose a piece of jewelry similar to the original, the same gold, and you can admire the exquisite beauty of the old style, immersing yourself in that era. The main thing is that you like it.

585 gold standard: composition, how to distinguish and where to use it

At all times, people have strived to own gold. This metal is a symbol of wealth and prosperity; its brilliance has always attracted and attracted attention.

Jewelry made from this noble metal is still valued today, because it serves as a kind of example of well-being and a measure of success. In the modern world, where everything is standardized, 585 gold has become the most popular alloy used to create jewelry. So let's figure out what these numbers mean and why this particular sample is so popular.

What is a sample?

Fineness is a generalized name for the percentage of precious metal in an alloy. That is, in essence, 585 standard means that the jewelry raw material contains 58.5% pure aurum, and the rest is ligature additives. These are metals that are added to an alloy in order to improve the user characteristics of the final product.

For example, 585 gold contains, in addition to the precious yellow metal, approximately 8% silver and about 33.5% copper. It would seem - why dilute pure, expensive metal? The answer is simple: in its pure form it is very soft, and if jewelry was made from 999 fineness, it would bend and break almost instantly. The copper in the alloy imparts hardness and also enhances the pleasant, warm color of the resulting jewelry material. Alloying additives are often:

• Copper (gives strength and a reddish tint);
• Silver (makes the product durable and gives shine);
• Nickel (added to white gold);
• Palladium (also an alloy in white gold);
• Rhodium (gives white gold a cool bluish tint);

In white gold of the same standard, the alloy metals are often palladium or nickel. This is why white gold has such a mesmerizing shine.

By the way, alloy 585 is also called “red” gold - royal chervonets were previously made from it. Since coins made from pure precious metal were quickly worn out, it was decided to create an alloy that would be more resistant to wear. Thus, the progenitor of modern 585 gold was obtained.

Why exactly 58.5% content?

583 gold standard

In the modern world, everything is subject to standardization. This is a necessary measure, without which international trade cannot exist. Gold products also have world standards. All over the world, the British system is used as a basis, where the purity of the precious metal alloy is measured in carats. So, 585 standard exactly corresponds to 14 carat gold, from which jewelry is often made on our planet.

It is worth noting that in the USSR there was 583 jewelry standard, which contained, accordingly, 58.3% pure gold. This sample was placed on all products next to the Union's hallmark - a hammer and sickle against the background of a star. After the collapse of the USSR, it was decided to bring the standard in line with international standards, and therefore 0.2% gold was added to the alloy, and the hallmark was changed. Now the gold standard is marked by a woman in a kokoshnik looking to the right.

How to distinguish 585 gold?

Deciphering the gold stamp

If you are not a jeweler and you do not have any chemical reagents with you, then most likely you will not be able to distinguish a 585-carat product by eye.

You need to focus on the sample stamped on the jewelry - this is a prerequisite for the production of all jewelry made from precious metals in our country. But if you want to purchase jewelry abroad, then this advice is unlikely to help you.

There is no single mandatory mark, and each workshop applies the sample at its own discretion. In addition, the appearance of the hallmark can vary greatly among different jewelers.

It is also quite difficult to determine by color what grade of gold you have in your hands. When copper is added, the precious alloy acquires a reddish tint - this is typical for jewelry in our country. Behind the cordon, silver is often added for hardness, while copper is excluded. This alloy turns out to be light yellow in color, more similar to natural gold.

Where is 585 standard yellow metal used?

Most often the precious metal is used:

• In the jewelry industry;
• In electronics;
• In the creation of religious objects and church accessories;
• In the chemical industry;
• As a means of preserving capital;

The most widespread use of this material is, of course, in jewelry production. Then comes the creation of church utensils, decorating domes, covering decorative elements, and similar purposes.

Precious gold also has unique physical properties: it conducts current very well, is very resistant to chemicals, and is practically not subject to corrosion.

This led to the widespread use of metal in the production of electronics and printed circuit boards, in the creation of special chemical glassware, and, of course, as a means of preserving accumulated values.

How to increase your savings with gold?

Over time, the gold in the ingot does not become less, it will not burn in a fire, it will not turn into dust - it is practically eternal. Therefore, financial analysts around the world agree that gold as a tool for saving money is very promising. But you shouldn’t think that this also applies to jewelry: often, such products have a very high added value, and you are unlikely to be able to sell it at the same price as you bought it.

Most likely, if you need to quickly sell your reserves of precious metal in the form of products, only a jewelry pawnshop can help you, where the value of your jewelry will be assessed only by weight - like scrap gold. Only bank gold will be liquid in the matter of saving money - bullion has always been and will be in price!

585 gold standard is the most popular in Russia

Various jewelry made by skilled jewelers at all times attracts the constant attention of the fair half of humanity, while men simply open their wallets to purchase exquisite and sophisticated products, especially the popular 585 standard. Gold has always been not just decoration, but a symbol of power, status, wealth and luxury.

In the Russian Federation, gold standard 585 received official recognition back in 1994. Along with the number indicating the hallmark, an hallmark was placed in the form of a five-pointed star, inside of which a hammer and sickle is engraved.

At sample 585 in the early 2000s, when branding products, together with the number 585 they began to depict a woman’s head in profile wearing a kokoshnik. At the moment, 585 standard gold is the most popular standard not only in the Russian Federation, but also in other post-Soviet states.

Products made from this precious metal have an optimal balance between quality and cost. Many families traditionally purchase 585 gold as a good gift for any occasion.

How many carats corresponds to 585

According to international standards, 585 gold purity is equivalent to a 14-karat gold alloy. In the USSR, the most popular was the 583 sample. But in other countries of the world this sample was not quoted, since it was inferior to the quality of 14 carat gold due to the lower content of pure precious metal in the alloy. In the 90s, the jewelry concern of the former USSR decided to replace the old 583 standard with the new 585.

585 alloy and its composition

Many people are interested in the composition of the 585 gold alloy. It consists of 58.5 percent pure precious metal and two other metals, in other words alloys: copper no more than 34 percent and silver. Due to the sufficiently large amount of pure precious metal, the appearance of the 585-grade product does not fade during use. Copper in the alloy gives 585-grade products special strength and hardness.

585 sample has a slight pink tint.

Different shades of 585 are created by a jewelry manufacturer by adding alloy metals in certain quantities. For example, we can recall white gold, which has become very popular in the manufacture of jewelry.

How much gold and what impurities are in a similar sample of 585 marking? The alloy consists of 58.5% pure precious metal and alloy metals - nickel or palladium. The predominance of nickel gives the product a slightly yellowish tint.

Regular 585 sterling silver products traditionally have a light pink tint.

Cost 585 samples

Initially, it should be noted that the cost of 585 gold does not greatly exceed the cost per gram of 583 gold (and the gold content in it is slightly higher) and averages 700-1000 rubles per gram. Various places for purchasing precious metals, such as pawnshops, offer their own and, as a rule, a slightly (up to 5%) reduced purchase price for 585 gold.

Peculiarities

Since ancient times, yellow metal has shown the status and wealth of the owner, even now, throughout the world, this precious metal has not lost its role. What makes it eternally valuable? After all, this metal is one of the softest, according to the ten-point Mohs scale, pure gold is valued at only a few points, and the hardest is diamond, which is valued at 10 points.

Physical characteristics and rarity make this metal very valuable and it is second only to platinum in value. The colors of the 585 gold alloy vary from green to light yellow. The density ranges from 12.85 g/cm3 to 14.76 g/cm3 depending on the shade and composition of the ligature. Numerical density readings mean specific gravity, for example, in a 585 white gold bar it is 12.85 g/cm3. Simply put, the product has a density 12.85 times higher than the same volume of water.

Depending on the impurities, the color of gold changes.

The melting point of gold is 1064.18 °C, the boiling process occurs at 2856 degrees Celsius. The density in liquid form is less than in solid form and is 17 g/cm3. Since 585 gold is an alloy consisting of pure precious metal and alloy metals, its melting point depends on the properties of impurities.

Each component imparts certain properties to the alloy.

Silver in the alloy makes gold ductile, easy to forge and changes its color. It also reduces the melting point and this makes the metal processing process easier and faster.

Copper makes the alloy harder, but it impairs its anti-corrosion qualities. If there is a large amount of copper, the alloy may have a darkened surface.

Platinum makes the alloy more elastic, while reducing its melting point, giving it a magnificent white hue, provided its content in the alloy is at least 8 percent.

585 standard is most often used in the jewelry industry.

Palladium increases the melting point of the alloy and makes it more ductile. When the palladium content is above 10 percent, gold becomes white, with a slight beige tint.

The zinc in the gold alloy makes it harder, while its fluidity increases and the melting point decreases. It brightens the alloy, making it suitable for use in white gold.

Nickel helps to increase the ductility and hardness of the alloy, but at the same time it exhibits the qualities of a magnet.

Aluminum makes the alloy ductile and gives it a mirror surface and anti-corrosion qualities.

It has now become very fashionable to order various vintage-style family jewelry from jewelers. These products have a wonderful combination with both white and gold of other shades. 14k white gold is made from 585 parts pure metal with 425 parts alloy, usually containing nickel or palladium. Photo catalogs of this kind of products can be found in many jewelry workshops that make custom jewelry.

Investing in Jewelry

According to experts, jewelry, of any standard, is not profitable as a source of investment. They do not belong to the class of investment instruments or the so-called “investment instrument”, unlike gold coins, bars or impersonal metal accounts.

At its core, an investment is money that brings profit over a certain period of time. When purchasing gold in the form of jewelry, it is very difficult to subsequently sell it for the purchase price, unless it is antique.

When delivered to a pawnshop, the product will not cost as much as a gram of gold at Sberbank, since the jewelry will be valued not as the work of skilled jewelers, but as scrap precious metal, which will be significantly lower than its original cost.

Characteristics and distinctive features of 585 gold

585 gold is the most popular metal in Russia. Most jewelry is made from this alloy. In our country, they prefer to make chains, rings and earrings from metal with this marking, and there are many reasons for this. One of them is the cost of jewelry, and the second reason is the anti-corrosion properties of jewelry.

585 gold ring

The alloy contains about 58.5% gold, and the rest is impurities, metals that change the properties of Au and make the alloy more durable and suitable for creating exquisitely woven jewelry.

Sample 585

585 gold standard is common only in our country; residents of Europe and Arab countries prefer jewelry with a different marking or products that have a 750 standard.

Jewelry marked 585 has a stamp; it depicts a girl, or rather, her profile. The girl's head is decorated with a kokoshnik. During the Soviet era, jewelry was marked differently: instead of a girl, a star with five rays was depicted, in the center of which there was a hammer and sickle.

In our country, sample number 585 appeared relatively recently. In the Soviet Union, the 583 marking was widespread, but according to European characteristics, such jewelry did not reach the standard. Deciding that the jewelry would be valued too cheaply, the Soviet authorities increased the percentage of precious metal in the ligature.

This is how the 585th sample of gold appeared; it was valued according to the carat system at 14 carats, which was quite satisfactory for the authorities and metal buyers. In most cases, Au was diluted with the following elements:

1. Silver.
2. Copper.
3. Zinc.
4. Aluminum.
5. Nickel.
6. Metals of the platinum subgroup.

Let's start with silver - this metal is part of the alloy. If the alloy contains at least 8% silver, the alloy acquires a pleasant white tint. Jewelry made with the addition of silver can be called white gold, provided that other elements do not change the color of the product.

Copper is another element that is used to dilute the alloy. Copper is added to the alloy and the alloy changes the color of the metal. Jewelry made from an alloy with a high content of gold and copper is called “red gold” by jewelers.

Impurities from base metals such as nickel, aluminum and zinc are also included in the alloy. They make the material more durable and resistant to processing. Jewelry that contains these impurities is not afraid of mechanical stress and opens up scope for creativity for jewelers.

585 standard gold often contains metals of the platinum subgroup, most often palladium. This makes jewelry more expensive, but the presence of palladium affects the wear resistance of products and makes the alloy resistant to chemicals, environmental factors and temperature changes.

Palladium, like platinum, has a white tint; the element is often used as an additional precious metal when creating white gold.

Structure of the 585 hallmark

The composition of 585 gold is used to make various jewelry, the ligature allows you to create fine weaving, and, in addition, the alloy has the following properties:

• does not darken upon contact with water and air;
• tolerates temperature changes well;
• combined with precious stones;
• Resistant to friction.

As you know, over time, products change color, the metal becomes dull, and stains and plaque form on its surface. Dirt makes jewelry look dull and unattractive. If we talk about the precious metal marked 585, then it also darkens, and a coating also forms on its surface over the years, but this happens quite slowly.

Jewelry with such a test is not afraid of temperature changes, unlike those made of metal marked 375 or 385.

585 gold, both white and yellow, goes well with precious and semi-precious stones. Jewelry is often encrusted with diamonds, garnets and other minerals.

Friction and contact with reagents can affect the condition of products. The alloy is resistant to friction, stains rarely appear on the surface of jewelry, but you should not lose your vigilance - in nature there are substances that can dissolve platinum and gold.

Shades of jewelry marked 585

There are several colors that are specific to gold with this marking. Jewelers prefer to make jewelry in the following shades:

1. Yellow.
2. Reds.
3. Green.
4. White.

The classic version is 585 yellow gold. The metal has a rich hue, is used to make most jewelry, and sets off the shine of stones well. Can be combined with an alloy of a different color.

The red tint is the result of adding copper to the alloy. Such products are just gaining popularity in our country; their color can vary from pink to red, depending on the percentage of copper in the alloy: the more copper, the brighter the shade. But it is worth noting that copper does not tolerate moisture well, for this reason jewelry should be protected from water. High humidity can lead to the appearance of oxides on the surface of jewelry - green or even blue spots.

The green color is obtained by adding silver to the alloy. If the percentage of the element in the alloy is high, then a unique shade is obtained. Jewelry of this color is invariably in demand, but you won’t be able to find a wide variety of them on store shelves. Still, yellow gold is a priority.

Cool white jewelry is a sign of status and position in society. Such products have a peculiar chic. White gold jewelry is most often encrusted with diamonds and other large stones. As a rule, their cost is higher because platinum or palladium is added to the alloy.

Which sample is better?

Marking with the numbers 585 indicates that the alloy contains 58.5% Au, that is, more than half. But there are other samples that are used to make jewelry. How to choose which jewelry and what is the difference between them?

Types of markings and their differences:

• 375 and 385 are samples with low Au content. This gold is mainly used for making massive jewelry and accessories. But since the alloy contains about 38% precious metal, the jewelry quickly darkens and wears out, but is low in cost.
• 585 - jewelry with this marking is in greatest demand. They have affordable prices and good qualities.
• 750 marking means that the products have elite status. Such jewelry is often made to order and passed on by inheritance. Jewelry lasts a long time, but is not cheap at all. The percentage of Au in the alloy is 75%.

So which product should you choose? If funds allow, then it is better to take jewelry that is of a higher standard. They last a long time, and no plaque forms on their surface. 585 standard is the golden mean: an appropriate combination of quality and price. For this reason, it is popular in Russia and in the countries of the post-Soviet space.

Distinctive features of gold standard 585

Gold is a precious metal that will always be popular among buyers. It is known that gold is never used in its pure form to make jewelry, and this is because it is super-plastic and fragile.

It is for these reasons that gold is combined with other, more wear-resistant metals, thereby forming an alloy. To determine the portion attributable to pure gold, a measure such as fineness is used.

Hallmarking shows how many grams of gold 1 kg of alloy contains.

Today, 585 gold is considered the most applicable in the work of jewelers, that is, an alloy in which part of the gold is 58.5%, and the remaining 41.5% is the alloy (additional metals). Various jewelry pieces are made from this alloy: bracelets, earrings, chains, pendants, cufflinks, etc.

Types of gold

If we talk about the advantages of the alloy, where gold makes up 58.5% of the total mass, then 585 gold is good because it can be given any desired shade due to different combinations of additional metals (ligatures). It is represented by copper, silver, zinc, nickel and palladium. The most popular alloy in the jewelry industry is the one where the metals are taken in the following ratio:

• 58.5% - gold;
• 33.5% - copper;
• 8% - silver.

This composition of 585 gold is popular due to the predominance of copper in the alloy, a metal resistant to deformation. Copper also gives products a reddish tint, which is why this alloy is called red alloy. 585 red gold is used in the manufacture of wedding rings, earrings, chains, church paraphernalia and other jewelry.

Also, 585 standard gold with a predominance of copper in the alloy is good because it does not cause allergies or irritation to the skin, which cannot be said about an alloy that contains palladium, an allergenic metal. There is also an opinion that copper has a healing effect, so 14k rose gold is not only attractive, but also healthy.

However, red gold has one drawback - copper weakens the anti-corrosion properties of the alloy.

Different ratios of alloy metals make it possible to produce alloys with other shades. In accordance with this, the following types of gold are distinguished:

1. White gold: jewelry made from this alloy has been considered trendy for several years in a row. The composition of 14k white gold is as follows: 58.5% - gold, 28.7% - silver, 8.7% - zinc, 16% - copper, nickel (palladium) - 17%. The predominance of metals is white and gives the alloy a corresponding shade. Another variety of white gold is Italian gold. Master jewelers from Italy make gold alloys with a purity of 585, in which the ligature is entirely represented by silver. All white gold products are coated with a layer of rhodium, which gives the jewelry durability. However, rhodium plating tends to wear off, so the owner of white gold jewelry has to take his jewelry to a workshop at least once every 5 years. As for the aesthetic aspect, 585 white gold harmonizes perfectly with precious stones.
2. Yellow Gold: This alloy has a sunny hue that makes it look like pure gold. Often this alloy has a 750 standard (75% gold in 100% of its mass), but you can also find 585 yellow gold on the jewelry market. To obtain an alloy with such a shade, silver and copper should be taken in equal quantities. If silver predominates in the alloy, and there is very little copper, then gold will acquire an extraordinary green tint. Green gold is most often used to make gold jewelry inserts.

Characteristics of gold with purity 585

Gold itself is a soft metal with a low hardness rating. This measure is assessed on a ten-point Mohs scale. The maximum score of 10 points is assigned to diamond, while gold (for comparison) claims only 2 points. If we talk about the density of gold, it is considered high. In terms of its density, gold is second only to platinum and other metals belonging to the platinum group.

The density of 585 gold directly depends on the composition of the alloy. The most dense is the alloy in which silver predominates in the alloy, since the latter has a high density.

The properties of gold with 585 purity depend on the components of the alloy:

• platinum gives the alloy elasticity, but only if it is more than 8%;
• palladium increases the ductility of the alloy;
• zinc increases fluidity;
• aluminum enhances anti-corrosion properties;
• Nickel gives the alloy hardness.

Every person who decides to buy jewelry made of any gold, including 585 gold, should give preference to large jewelry stores with an excellent reputation and certified goods. This approach will help you avoid purchasing counterfeit jewelry.

We constantly come across the expressions “999-carat gold”, “585-carat gold”, but how many people understand what this means? Let's try to figure out what a sample is, how it is designated and how they differ.

So, fineness is essentially the amount of pure gold in a piece of jewelry. Gold by itself, without the addition of other metals, is very soft and is not suitable for creating jewelry.

Strength, durability and even shade are given to it by the addition of copper, platinum, silver and other metals. The sample on the product indicates how many parts of gold there are per 1000 parts of the alloy.

For example, 585 standard means that 1000 grams of alloy contains 585 grams of pure precious metal and 415 grams of others.

What types of gold are there?

In modern Russia, gold of 375, 500, 583, 585, 750, 958 and 996 samples is used to make jewelry. There is also almost pure gold of 999.9 purity, but it is not at all suitable for jewelry because of its softness and is used exclusively in the space industry.

The most common: 583 and 585, products made from this alloy are very durable and quite valuable, since the content of pure gold in them exceeds the amount of additional metals.

You can find items of 750 and 958 samples on sale, but you should keep in mind that not every piece of jewelry can be made from it.

Learning to read the mark

A gold hallmark must be placed on all gold items, without exception, that are legally sold in Russia. The stamp looks like this: a frame in which the right profile of a woman’s head in a kokoshnik and numbers indicating the sample are imprinted.

To the left of the profile there is usually a letter corresponding to the territorial state inspection that branded this gold product.

On separate products, the mark may look like this: on one part there is a female profile, and on the other there is a numerical designation.

Gold samples in other countries of the world

The international system for grading gold quality uses karats. Pure gold corresponds to 24 carats, and accepted hallmarks are 10, 12, 14, 18 and 24 carats.

Different countries have their own acceptable set of samples for making jewelry. For example, in the USA they use gold of 375, 417, 585, 750 and 917 samples, and in Germany the minimum acceptable standard is 333, corresponding to 8 carats. In eastern countries, it is believed that the higher the purity of gold, the better it is, so you can often find products made of gold of purity 990 and higher there.

585 gold: differences, composition, cost per 1 gram

It is very difficult for an ordinary buyer to understand gold samples, their characteristics and composition. Let's try to analyze the differences from others in the most popular 585 hallmark gold, determine what pink, red, white and yellow 585 gold is, and calculate the cost of a gram today.

Which sample to choose: a brief analysis of the main options, their comparison with the 585 sample

The fineness of gold products is called a number that shows the percentage of gold in a thousand units. In our country, about forty variant varieties are known, with 18 samples. How do gold samples differ? Let's analyze the most popular options:

375 gold standard differs from 585 gold in the predominance of red color, which can wear off and turn gray over time. Rings are mainly made from this alloy.

583 and 585 samples are very similar, one replaced the other over time, but both are often used.

But which gold standard is better, 583 or 585? Soviet 583 has the best reputation among the population; its strength and reliability are proven by long-term performance characteristics. 585 gold standard is accepted all over the world.

In terms of its composition, this alloy consists of three components, additives of various metals, which affect the appearance. Its color scheme is very multifaceted; it is pink, white, yellow and red.

The 18k gold version is also three-component. These are the well-known metals, gold, silver and copper. Palladium, zinc, and nickel also serve as alloying materials. The color range is different shades from yellow and green to pink and red.

This sample is characterized by ductility, ease of processing and soldering; it is used like enamel if the copper component is no more than 15 percent, otherwise the color is lost.

Jewelers find the use of 750 standard in products with filigrees and punches; it is good as a thin frame for jewelry.

The best quality of precious metal is 958. It also consists of three parts, but in a completely different ratio. The difference between this alloy is its bright yellow tint, characteristic of pure gold. It is also determined by increased softness in forging, and polishing of such products quickly loses its appearance. Most often, 958 is used to make wedding rings.

Sample 585, what is it? Features and varieties of alloy

In terms of their composition, they are gold (58.5%), copper (up to 34%), and silver (8% or more). It has good long-term service properties and does not lose its color. At the same time, the copper part adds strength and hardness.

This sample has many varieties in color; it is very popular in white. Let's look at the composition of 585 white gold. It is clear that 58.5% is the noble material itself, with the addition of alloy metals. Basically, white gold is an alloy with nickel or palladium. Too much nickel gives a slightly yellowish tint.

The main features of the metal are a wide range of colors, with different density limits (12.8 - 14.7 g / cm3), which is influenced by the components of the composition. The density number indicates the specific gravity, in white gold it is 12.8. Simply put, it is 12 times denser than water of the same volume.

The melting temperature of gold products is 1064 degrees, but here we should not forget about other components - the alloy. The temperature may vary depending on them.

All additives have their own further effects:

• the silver element provides plasticity and color, making it easier to process the gold alloy;
• the copper component is responsible for hardness, but reduces corrosion resistance and leads to a dark color of the alloy;
• the addition of platinum affects elasticity, and the main value is imparting a white color, taking into account the use rate of no higher than 8%;
• palladium, has good ductility, gives a very aesthetic white tint with a hint of beige;
• Zinc additive is also responsible for hardness, fluidity and processing temperature. Used for white gold;
• The nickel component is used for ductile and hard alloys, and can exhibit magnetic properties;
• The aluminum component beautifully reflects the alloy and has good corrosion resistance.

How is the price of 1 gram of 585 gold determined?

585 gold contains 58.5 percent gold, with the remaining more than 40 percent being other metals. It could be copper, nickel, silver, platinum or palladium. The amount of more expensive impurity regulates the cost per 1 gram of gold, depending on the prices of these materials today. An alloy with red copper will be valued less than 14k white gold with palladium or platinum. The strength and reliability of all colors of 585 gold are almost at the same level.

How to determine how much 1 gram of 585 gold costs? An important criterion is the price per 1 gram of 99.9 percent gold. It changes every day and depends on:

• gold mining;
• surges in demand for firms that produce jewelry and investments;
• currency fluctuations, namely the US dollar;
• the amount of reserves of precious metals by national banks;
• world political processes;
• fluctuations in the oil market, and in the market for other natural resources in the composition of gold;
• stock exchange speculative actions.

Gold products are now popular as assets, they have been able to exceed even investments in securities; investing in precious metals is practiced by banking institutions and various stock organizations. From 2001 to 2011, the price increased by 600 percent. Then the prices of metals began to fall as speculation decreased. The price per gram of 585 gold also decreased, following the exchange rate. In 2015, there was a noticeable rise, and from 2016 to 2017 there was a fall again.

As you can see, the cost of grams of different types of samples is unstable, depends on many factors, and therefore changes often.

To accurately determine the price of 585 samples, you need to multiply the established indicator of the National Bank for today by 0.585. This is only an approximate calculation, in addition to the figure, the result depends on:

• whether the jewelry has artistic value;
• how difficult is the production process, mass or individual approach;
• whether it is supplemented with precious stones or metals;
• place where gold is sold, market or company stores;
• the manufacturer of the product.

This overall picture, and each single factor, determines how much a product with 585 gold purity will cost, and at what best price you can buy it. Today's average is about $30. But it depends on all the above criteria and factors when purchasing.

In a pawnshop, the price per gram also changes; in addition to market situations and more global reasons, the characteristics of the jewelry, the presence of jewelry in it, mechanical damage and general condition will be decisive. Also important criteria are the quality of the jewelry work and how the material was processed. Well, the quality of the gold alloy itself, which is determined by the manufacturer. The cost depends on the pawnshop and is set according to individual parameters.

Is investing in 585 gold jewelry profitable?

Precious metal alloys in banking settings have different prices.

It mainly depends on the form of purchase, as options include purchasing: bullion, coins for investment or with a commemorative value, or registering a special metal account.

For example, if you decide to purchase a bullion, consider the higher price, up to almost 20%. Coins are also subject to VAT, and their purchase is not profitable in terms of price, but it is possible for it to increase after purchase, because they can go into the category of antiques.

Opening an account remains relevant; it is impersonal and less expensive; you don’t have to spend money on saving it. At the same time, do not forget that selling such gold is much easier than bars or coins, and you have a favorable interest rate. This metal impersonal account is a good and convenient investment compared to others.

The cost of gold 585 per 1 gram depends on many external factors and directly on the very characteristics of the alloy, its alloy. Purchases and investments should be approached with full information about the financial situation of the country and the features of one or another deposit option.

Types of 585 gold

• Sample 585
• colored gold
• How much is gold worth?

In Russia, there are 7 standards for gold from 375 to 999 - almost pure gold. The sample number means the content of precious metal in 1 gram of alloy. This is the metric system that is used in Russia and some other countries.

In the karat system adopted throughout the world, the gold content is estimated from 9 to 24 carats.

The most popular standard of gold in Russia is the 585 gold alloy; it occupies two thirds of the total gold jewelry market. Sometimes it is even called Russian. The fact is that the closest standard in the carat system is 14 carats - 0.583 g. The 583 standard has also always been popular in Russia, however, due to the fact that in fact the content in European gold was slightly higher, more accurate samples of USSR gold were considered low-grade. To level out the situation in the USSR, a new sample was introduced - 585.

The Russian marking of 585 standard has a drawing of a female profile with a braid and wearing a kokoshnik and the number 585 on the right.

Gold standard 585 - the gold standard of the jewelry industry

Composition of 585 gold - 1 gram of gold contains 585 mg of pure gold and 415 mg of additional components. Such a high content of impurities allows jewelers to change the color of 585 gold over a wide range, achieving different shades. Sometimes different colors of gold are combined in one product, which increases its artistic value. In total, the following shades are distinguished:

• red gold,
• yellow gold,
• pink gold,
• White gold,
• green gold.

There are even blue, purple and black gold, but they almost never have 585.

Classic 585 gold has a pinkish color, is called “585 rose gold” and contains approximately 340 g of copper and 80 g of silver. Copper gives the alloy its tint. If we slightly increase the copper content and decrease the silver content, we will get red gold of the same 585 standard. If we do the opposite, we will get yellow gold, but the purity will remain the same - 585.

There is 14k white gold, which replaces copper and silver with palladium or nickel, even zinc. You, of course, have already realized that the composition and color of 585 white gold can also vary over a wide range from very pale yellow to equally pale brown or pink.

To enhance the shine of white gold, finished products are sometimes plated with rhodium. If rhodium, gallium or indium is added to the main composition, gold will acquire a slight bluish tint. But such gold is fragile and is used only to highlight the shades of precious stones. The situation is even worse with purple gold. Black gold is obtained using special methods; it is possible to process 585 grade to dark shades, but it is almost never found on the market and is considered a rare exotic.

If we slightly reduce the copper in the composition and add 4% cadmium, we will get a greenish tint, which is quite rare on the market. In ancient times, green gold (“electra”) was called an alloy of gold and silver (75/25), but it does not apply to 585 standard.

And all these will be products made of 585 gold.

How much is gold worth?

How much exactly 585 gold costs is not the easiest question. The price of pure gold is determined by financial markets. For example, in 2014 it went up sharply, setting a record for the last 25 years. The figure shows the course of changes in gold prices during the year:

In Russia, the price of gold is determined by the Central Bank, which sets its value daily. You can view it on the website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

Next, you can determine the 585 gold rate by multiplying the discount rate by 0.585. However, the alloy from which the jewelry supplied to the store is made has added value from different manufacturers, trade markups and other factors. There may even be some arbitrariness in the matter, so if you are going to hand over gold to pawn shops in Moscow, we recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the terms of delivery and the purchase and sale rate at this pawn shop.

As a rule, pawnshops set gold purchase prices as close as possible to the value set by the Central Bank, because they accept products at the price of scrap. At the same time, the pawnshop can spend money on repairs, for example, and sell the finished product at a higher price. But at the same time, they have costs for security, sales, and work with metal, so it is profitable for a pawnshop to buy gold cheaper. In purchases, the price may be higher simply because they sell everything for melting down.

585 gold standard, what is it - price per 1 gram and main quality indicators

585 gold standard can essentially be considered the most popular for making jewelry. Finished products do not fade in air or over time, and with different additions of alloy (copper, palladium, silver) you can get different color shades (white, pink, green, red).

In this article we will take a closer look at all the characteristics of the 585 gold alloy, the cost per 1 gram and the history of its appearance.

The background to the appearance of 585 gold

The 585 sample appeared in Russia after the collapse of the USSR, partly to replace the 583 sample. The fact is that the Soviet Union was isolated from European countries, and itself set the standards (as well as the fineness of gold), and the 583 standard was equal to 14 carats (British carat system). However, 14-karat gold was considered to be of higher quality, and 583 gold was reluctantly purchased. Then it was decided to increase the weight of pure gold in the alloy by 0.2% in order to equalize the indicator, and so 585 gold purity appeared.

Today, this is the most popular sample in all jewelry stores, because a huge number of rings, chains, cufflinks, buttons, bracelets and the like are made from it. And because gold of this quality can take on different color shades, it is very popular in the manufacture of family heirlooms.

Composition of 585 gold

An indicator of the quality of gold can be considered its sample, that is, the percentage of the precious metal in the alloy in its pure form. In this case, it is 58.5% gold, and 41.5% alloy (metallic additives with the help of which the alloy takes on additional properties - hardness, color). (Pure) gold itself is very soft and is not suitable for making jewelry. But thanks to alloy metals, we get a fairly malleable alloy that can already be worked with.

From the table below you can see the composition of 585 gold and what color the final product is.

Try	Gold	Silver	Copper	Nickel	Zinc	Hue
585	58,5%	8,2	33,3	—	—	Red
585	58,5%	18,2	23,3	—	—	Pink
585	58,5%	35,9	5,6	—	—	Green
585	58,5%	—	16,0	17,0	8,5	White

The white shade has become very popular recently; it turns out very beautiful and is often used even for inlay with diamonds.

Density of 585 gold

I would also like to mention the physical properties of this beautiful metal. Many people are interested in the density of 585 gold, because in its pure form it is very soft and on a 10-point Mohs scale (hardness) is rated only 2.5.

But the density is very high (ranks 7th among all metals). So, for example, a ball of pure gold weighing 1 kg has a density of 19.32 g/cm³. The physical properties of 585 sample depend largely on the color (amount of alloy) in the alloy.

In the table below you can see the density in different shades.

Try	Alloy color	Density (g/cm³)
585	Green	14,3
Red	13,2
Red-yellow	13,6
Yellow-green	13,9
Light yellow	13,1
White	12,8

As you know, chemically pure gold is a very soft metal. If you make jewelry from it, it will quickly deform and bend. To increase rigidity and strength, other metals are added to gold, which are called alloys. Common metals are silver, copper, palladium and nickel.

Moreover, the higher the percentage of such impurities in the gold alloy, the lower its purity. And although the cost of a gram of high-grade gold is higher, products made from it are less reliable and practical for use as body jewelry.

Most often, jewelry made of high-carat gold is worn for various special events, and for daily wear, jewelry made of 585 gold is usually used.

Many people believe that Russian gold is more valuable than Turkish gold or the same precious metal from other countries in the world. This opinion is erroneous, since gold cannot be Turkish, Russian, etc.

As for the shade of this or that 585 gold jewelry, its color is explained not by the product’s belonging to a particular country, but only by the composition of the ligature additives mentioned above.

For example, Russian jewelers prefer to add more copper to gold, which gives the alloy a more red tint, while enterprises in other countries add more silver to the alloy, causing its tint to become bright yellow, reminiscent of pure gold.
