It is very important to know the karats of gold that have the jewelry we buy, to know the gold investment we are making.

The carat is the measure to know the amount of gold in a piece, that is to say, its purity.

The higher the number of carats, the more gold there is and the less content of other metals.

The purest gold is 24 karat, but it is not suitable for the manufacture of jewelry, as it is too malleable and less consistent.

At La Petra we manufacture all our gold jewelry in 18 karat.
