About gold purity:
Gold is a beautiful, dense and soft metal. As a material it can be worked into many forms with relative ease. As one of the earliest elements discovered, gold has been utilized for several millennia for a wide variety of purposes, but primarily for coins and jewelry. Gold’s resistance to corrosion, easy workability and distinct beautiful yellow color are what makes it ideal for jewelry and currency. Gold’s resistance to corrosion is why jewelry and coins made thousands of years ago can still be found today in nearly new condition.
Due to gold’s softness, it is often mixed with other metals, or alloyed. Alloying gold with other metals enhances its strength, can modify its color, and makes it more accessible financially to a wider market.
While most gold used in coins is either pure gold which is 24 karat, or 90% pure gold which is around 22 karat, jewelry is often alloyed out in lower concentrations. The more common purities of gold used in jewelry, especially in the united states, are 10k, 14k, and 18k. In Germany 8k is also used and in the U.K. 9k is common. In Asia however, higher purities of gold are the norm, with 22k and 24k being quite common.
To summarize how gold purity works, please view the chart below:
8k or 8 karat = .333 or 33.3% pure gold
9k or 9 karat = .375 or 37.5 pure gold
10k or 10 karat = .417 or 41.7% pure gold
14k or 14 karat = .585 or 58.5% pure gold
18k or 18 karat = .750 or 75% pure gold
20k or 20 karat = .833 or 83.3% pure gold
21k or 21 karat = .875 or 87.5% pure gold
22k or 22 karat = .916 or 91.6% pure gold
23k or 23 karat = .958 or 95.8% pure gold
24k or 24 karat = .999 or 99.9% pure gold
This list encompasses nearly every alloy found in gold jewelry. It’s important to know the purity of the gold you are trying to sell to avoid being underpaid. Stop by Bootie’s Pawn and Jewelry today for the highest payout in Orlando on your used, broken or unwanted gold jewelry and coins.

Non destructive testing:
Have you ever taken your gold to a pawn shop only to have the clerk gouge into it with a file? Or had testing acid poured directly on to your jewelry?
Unfortunately, this method of testing has become all too common. It also leaves a permanent scar on your jewelry. Also, this method of testing is highly unreliable and frequently yields incorrect results. Acid should NEVER be placed directly on gold as it causes the alloy materials to break down resulting in metal fatigue, an invisible condition that leads the metal to crack and break down over time. That’s why at Bootie’s we use non-destructive assay equipment that will leave your gold just as it was when you brought it in. Our testing equipment leaves no trace and provides an accurate karat value so you can get the most INSTANT CASH on your gold without exposing it to damaging acids.
