FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT 24K GOLD JEWELRY

YINCITY GOLD PRODUCTS ARE WORN THE SAME WAY AS ANY JEWELRY BUT DIFFER FROM STANDARD GOLD JEWELRY SOLD IN THE U.S. IN THREE DISTINCT ASPECTS.

BESPOKE HANDMADE CRAFTSMANSHIP TAILORED TO THE INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMER.

SOLD BY WEIGHT IN GRAMS BASED ON THE MARKET PRICE FOR GOLD.

AT YINCITY GOLD WE VIEW ALLOYED GOLD AS A DILUTED AND STEPPED-ON GOLD PRODUCT. A BIG REASON WE WERE FOUNDED WAS DUE TO BEING ASTONISHED AT SEEING SO MANY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE FROM BUSINESS OWNERS AND PROFESSIONALS TO ATHLETES AND THOSE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY PAY OUTRAGEOUS 200%-300% OR HIGHER MARKUPS ON EXPENSIVE AND DILUTED 10K,14K, AND 18K GOLD JEWELRY.

AS THE GOLD JEWELRY MARKET HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AS A BILLION-DOLLAR INDUSTRY, MORE AND MORE PEOPLE PURCHASE EXPENSIVE GOLD JEWELRY AND WE THINK IT’S A SHAME WHEN WE SEE SOMEONE PROUDLY WEAR A SIZABLE GOLD CUBAN CHAIN WHERE NEARLY HALF OF THE CHAIN IS COMPOSED OF CHEAP METAL, YET THEY PAID OVER $25,000 FOR THE CHAIN WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID HALF THAT OR LESS.

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CAN AFFORD IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY SHOULD BE RIPPED OFF OR NOT GET THEIR MONEY’S WORTH.

YINCITY GOLD WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROMOTE A PARADIGM SHIFT IN WHAT THE CONSUMER DEMANDS IN GOLD PURITY AND THE PRICE THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT WHEN IT COMES TO GOLD JEWELRY.

THE PURITY OF GOLD IS MEASURED USING THE “KARAT” SYSTEM IN THE U.S. THE KARAT SYSTEM MEASURES THE RATIO OF PURE GOLD TO PARTS OF NON-PRECIOUS METAL THERE IS IN A PIECE OF GOLD JEWELRY.

ONE KARAT IS 1/24 PART OR 4.1667% OF THE WHOLE PIECE OF JEWELRY.

SO:

10K GOLD IS 41.6% GOLD PURITY

10 PARTS GOLD TO 14 PARTS METAL. 10 PARTS GOLD = 41.6% 14 PARTS METAL = 58.3%

14K GOLD IS 58.3% GOLD PURITY

14 PARTS GOLD TO 8 PARTS METAL. 14 PARTS GOLD = 58.3% 10 PARTS METAL = 41.6%

18K GOLD IS 75% GOLD PURITY

18 PARTS GOLD TO 6 PARTS METAL. 18 PARTS GOLD = 75% 6 PARTS METAL = 25%

24K GOLD IS 99.5% OR HIGHER IN PURITY

24 OUT OF 24 PARTS ARE GOLD
