Jade provides a number of spiritual benefits. Explain at least 3 of these properties.
Protection: In many cultures, jade is seen as a protective stone that wards off evil spirits and negative energies. It's common to find jade amulets or jewelry meant to protect the wearer from harm.
Purification: Jade is thought to have purifying properties, cleansing the body and spirit of toxins and negative feelings. It's said to promote physical and emotional well-being by removing these negative energies.
Wisdom and Insight: Jade is often connected with wisdom and insight, particularly in East Asian cultures. It's believed to promote clear reasoning, wisdom, and encourage insightful, complex problem solving.
Explain what 'gold plated' jewelry is including the process, appearance, affordability, and durability.
A thin layer of gold has been applied to the surface of a base metal (such as copper or silver) through an electrochemical process. This gives the jewelry the appearance of solid gold at a more affordable price. However, because the gold layer is thin, it can wear off over time with regular use, exposing the base metal underneath. Gold-plated jewelry is less durable and has a lower value compared to solid gold or gold-filled pieces.

What is the difference between 'gold filled' and 'solid gold'?
Bonus (40 points) - What are some differences in their appearance?
Gold-filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base metal, such as brass. The gold layer typically makes up at least 5% of the total weight of the piece.
Solid gold jewelry is made entirely of gold or an alloy with a specific gold content, such as 24k (100% gold), 18k (75% gold), or 14k (58.3% gold).
Bonus - Gold-filled looks similar to solid gold and can maintain its appearance for many years with proper care. Solid gold has a consistent appearance throughout the piece, with no risk of the gold layer wearing away, as there is no separate layer.

List the gold purity percentage of 10k, 14k, & 24k gold.
Bonus (50 points) - What is the remaining percentage made of and what purpose does it serve?
10k - 41.7% pure (10 out of 24 parts are gold)
14k - 58.3% pure (14 out of 24 parts are gold)
24k - 100% pure (24 out of 24 parts are gold)
Bonus - The remaining percentage consist of other metals, such as copper, silver, nickel, zinc, palladium, and others which are added to enhance durability and color.
Which jewelry is considered more valuable:
1. 10k gold pendant with the highest grading lab diamond across all gradings.
2. 24k gold pendant with the lowest grading natural diamonds across all gradings.
The 24k gold pendant with the lowest grading natural diamonds is likely considered more valuable overall. This is due to the intrinsic value and high purity of 24k gold. Even though the diamonds are of lower quality, the purity and weight of the gold can significantly contribute to the overall value of the pendant.
While the lab-grown diamond in the 10k gold pendant is of higher quality, lab-grown diamonds are generally less expensive than natural diamonds. The lower purity of the gold (10k) further decreases the pendant's value compared to the 24k gold.
