Gold products: 585 test

Jewelry is always prestigious and stylish. Fashion for the purchase of elegant pendants, ornate chains and beautiful elegant rings never fades. A huge number of jewelry craftsmen work daily to create new products that attract the attention of potential consumers. It is worth noting that the most popular among lovers of jewelry use items made of gold. In this case, products containing 100% pure material, are rare. This is due to the properties of the precious metal. Gold is a very soft element. If other components are not added to it, objects made from it are not solid and quickly lose their shape. Therefore, even to create jewelry of the highest quality, it is customary to use alloys, which are subsequently called "sample". As a rule, in such compounds, alongside with gold, there is another component: silver, copper, nickel, etc.

Adding additional ingredients

Depending on the proportion of precious metal in the composition of jewelry and different samples are selected. So, if up to one percent of a foreign element is present in the product, this product is considered to be the "cleanest" one. The sample of such a subject is the 999th. When the whole volume of the alloy is twenty-five percent occupied by the blended element, and seventy-five is gold, then such an article will bear the mark "750". 585 test means that in the created object there are fifty eight and a half percent of precious metal. The rest of the composition is an admixture of copper and silver.

History of appearance

It is noteworthy that the 585 trial came into use relatively recently: in 1989. What was the reason for creating this alloy? In the USSR that existed at that time, products with a 583 breakdown were very popular. Such an alloy was called "red gold". However, in Europe, for one gram with such a breakdown was given too low a price, because according to its characteristics it did not reach the minimum British unit - fourteen gold. In order to equalize the cost parameters, it was decided to slightly change the composition of the 583-sample. Instead of 58.3% of gold, 58.5% of the precious metal was added to the alloy. The amount of impurities of silver and copper was fixed at 8% and 33.5%, respectively. It was from the end of 1989 that a test on gold "585" became popular on the territory of the USSR. As an addition to this alloy on the products next to the figures, the image of a girl in a kokoshnik was shown. "Preceded" of this alloy - 583 composition - was accompanied by a stamp with a star.

A great option for daily use

Gradually, products with this alloy began to be recognized and acquired not only in the countries of the former Soviet Union, but also abroad. The buyers were attracted not only by an acceptable price, but also by the amazing wear resistance of jewelry, on which was inscribed 585 test. The possibility of daily use of jewelry with this composition, their strength, stability of form - all this became the main criteria, which customers addressed before buying the next product. Quality five hundred and eighty-fifth alloy confidently led among other analogs. His demand has become an indisputable proof that the 585 test is a good substitute for a more expensive and not such a stable 750-m composition. Ornaments bearing the mark in question were called "Russian" gold.

Varieties

Currently, more and more people have in their jewelry box, made with the use of the alloy in question. On the shelves of jewelry stores, you can see a huge number of products on which there is a stamp "sample 585". Rings and bracelets, chains and pendants, pendants and earrings, various sets - all sorts of imaginable and unthinkable items are made from the already familiar alloy. In addition, at present this material is used to create accessories, mobile phone covers, designer clothes and much more.

It would be superfluous to note that in addition to the usual "Russian" gold with the composition in question, there is also white gold of 585 tests. The amount of valuable material in one gram of the alloy with this characteristic and its yellow "colleague" is identical to each other. Change only ligatures - added ingredients. So, if a piece of white gold has a radiance of steel, then this indicates the presence in the decoration of an element such as palladium. If the object pleases with a yellowish, hardly visible shade, this indicates the use of nickel in its manufacture.

The cost of one gram

The abundance of all kinds of items from precious metal can not but please potential buyers. Even more pleasant is their cost: 585 test, like all other samples of gold, is in close connection with the exchange rate for precious metals. Therefore, if the price of one gram of pure material changes, the price of alloys with its use also changes. To date, the cost of gold without impurities has been established at 1.320 thousand rubles per kilogram. Therefore, taking into account impurities, one gram of "Russian" gold will be sold for 800-830 rubles.
