3D hard gold is a craft, not a gold content

Also called 3D hard thousand gold. It is a new product that has only come out in recent years. It does not refer to gold content, but refers to an improved invention of a gold electroforming process for the manufacture of hollow thousand gold products with complex shapes, fineness, high hardness and strong abrasion resistance.

Characteristics

The hardness of 1.3D thousand-foot hard gold is 4 times higher than that of traditional gold, which is very close to the hardness of 18K gold. It effectively overcomes the shortcomings of low hardness, easy wear and difficult to maintain fine patterns.

2.3D hard thousand gold is mostly chic and looks bigger, that is, the same size of jewelry, 3D hard thousand gold is much lighter than ordinary thousand gold, but its labor costs are very high.

Wanjinjin has no defined standard

The total amount of gold, that is, four 9 gold, in general, the purity of spot gold purchased by the Shanghai Gold Exchange is generally 999.9%, or 999.7%. The former has reached the standard of 10,000 gold, but in the process of making jewelry, the need to add solder to the casting will have an impact on the purity. Although it is theoretically feasible and exists, there is no standard support in actual operation, and it is the only one in China's jewelry industry. The mandatory national standard "Regulations and naming methods for the purity of precious metals for jewelry" can not find the identity of gold with a gold content of 999.9%. In short, "100 million gold" is not a national standard, but an enterprise standard. In contrast, gold bars do not have solder problems, so the purity of gold bars is often better than gold jewelry.

First of all, Wanjinjin is the purest gold jewelry, purer than pure gold. Its value lies in its highest purity, in its technology and process of achieving the highest purity, its aesthetic value and collection value are naturally highlighted.

Because the hardness of gold jewelry is low, it should be handled gently when wearing it. Avoid rubbing and rubbing against hard objects. Do not pull, pull or smash. In particular, diamonds can be rubbed against each other due to different hardness, so they are stored separately using jewelry boxes.

Its density is very similar to gold, but the price is five to one tenth of gold. The market price per gram is only 50~90 yuan, but each The market price of gram gold is 300~400 yuan, and the disparity difference induces some merchants to impersonate gold.

Be cautious when avoiding being cheated

(1) Receipt standardization "gold content"

For the quality of gold products, the national standards have very clear regulations, that is, each piece of gold jewelry sold by the merchant must be listed to indicate its gold content and weight. At the same time, because the industry-used terms such as “Wanju Gold”, “Pure Gold” and “24K Gold” are not included in the standard specifications, only the receipts of industry terms (no gold content) are marked in the case of disputes between buyers and sellers. Making it difficult for consumers to defend their rights, resulting in claims that are unfounded.

(2) The high detection cost can be shared with the merchant

Compared to the value of jewelry, inspection costs are more expensive. This high cost of rights protection is also the reason why most consumers choose not to pursue the case when they encounter infringement. The insiders remind consumers that once the amount of gold in the jewelry is determined to be tricky, they should report it to the relevant departments in time, and negotiate with the merchant to check the cost sharing. Under normal circumstances, the cost of testing is first paid by the consumer. If the quality of the jewelry is detected, the merchant must compensate the consumer for the loss and accept the punishment from the relevant department.
