Gold jewelry is made of gold, while silver jewelry
is made of silver. Silver is often mined alongside
Gold, found together in the form of an alloy
called electrum. Processes such as gravity
separation, amalgamation, froth flotation, and
cyanidation are used to recover these metals
from their ore.

silver. Gold has been historically
considered a precious metal and is often
associated with luxury and wealth,
making it more expensive than silver. The
weight of gold is measured in troy ounces
(1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams), while
its purity is measured in 'carats’. Silver is
also meaured Troy ounces.

doesn't tarnish easily, whereas silver is
relatively softer and prone to tarnishing.
Gold jewelry is less likely to get
scratched or damaged compared to
silver jewelry. Usually copper is added
to silver to add strength.

Gold has a distinct yellow hue,
whereas silver has a bright white or
gray-toned. It suits people with

gold.

Wearing certain metal jewellery can cause
allergies. Silver jewelry is generally
hypoallergenic and suitable for most people,
while gold jewelry can cause allergies in rare
cases, especially if it contains other metals

for people with allergies.

can vary based on fashion trends. For

different occasions.

8. 7.Maintenance
