Cosmic Confluence of Gems and Metals

No doubt, gems have their individual features and functionality; so do the metals. When these are joined together as articles of gem & jewellery you stand to derive optimum benefit. How? It is quite simple, because any two items fused together create synergistic effect. In the case of gems & metals we call this phenomenon as cosmic confluence. Here are few snippets:

Gems: Most gemstones are worn in proximity to human body. Of course there are tumble stones that you squeeze for moments and keep them away from you. In most cases people tend to wear gems on person. Wearing a gemstone, be it diamond, coloured stone, pearl and any other crystals give you discernible vibes. Some of these vibes you can feel quickly whereas others take little longer time to be felt. These effects in turn are classified into two areas: direct and indirect. When you receive specific result in full on repeated basis we call it as direct emission; while general effect experienced by you at times, partially, are dubbed as indirect one. Gems grant you light frequency that can be translated into physical, mental, emotional and spiritual terms.

Metals: On the other hand metals are worn touching your body straightaway. Metals therefore transmit whale of energy into your body directly. As a corollary we consider metals as purely direct influencers much potent than gems. At any given moment un-quantified electromagnetic beams move within the metal, circulating cosmic energy, a major part of it is then diverted into the skin in un-specified frequency so that the human body gets the needed nourishment. It does this activity using three inter-connected processes: generation of energy, assimilation of energy and emission of energy. Moreover, metals can be configured to receive energy from external environment, assimilate within and thereafter emit cosmics. It must be clearly noted that such emission can go inward as well as outward.

Confluence: Cosmic confluence of gems and metals takes place when two streams of cosmic energy one originating from gems and other derived from metals combine together to make a brand new energy flow that bonds together features and functionality of both streams. Let us examine a worked example of gem & jewellery:

Zircon is a gemstone known for traces of uranium in it. Zircon has high degree of refraction and strong dispersion giving it a fantastic brilliance not second to diamonds. Considered by advisers in Cosmics as an all-round stone in beauty, protection and prestige, Zircon makes you delighted inside and an admirable person outside.

Zirconium is a soft metal, greyish white in colour, malleable and ductile for jewellery manufacture. It resists corrosion caused by alkali, salt and acids allowing the wearer to maintain his posture under stress, trouble and tribulation. Treated gently as a feminine metal Zirconium is on Earth as well on the surface of Moon.

When you wear a Zirconium ring studded with Zircon gem as a solitaire, you will, overnight become a celebrity in your family and business circles. Thanks to the cosmic confluence of gems & metals.

Green Gold Jewellery for Liberated Women

Something that women’s lib has over looked to articulate is the use of green gold jewellery by its proponents. Even though colour green is known for its coolness and neutrality, when stained in gold jewellery it takes on entirely converse role of being tough and decisive making, ebbing the wearer to throw her weight around.

Green gold jewellery is generally rendered in four distinct hues. Soft green, Light green, Green and Deep green. The gem & jewellery norm is to make green gold articles as 18 K which means that the gold content remains at 750 over 1000 and the balance filled with alloy metal. Let me describe each of the four tinges in green gold jewellery, its alloy and how its cosmics can transform a passive woman to an active person.

Soft green: To get a shimmering soft green gem & jewellery workbench uses 75% gold, less than 25% silver and a tracing of Cadmium along with few other elements. Soft green gold jewellery gives a wearer warmth, pleasantness and sexual appeal. It is recommended for women who work in professions; career woman in junior and middle rungs.

Light green: This fascinating hue is the result of 75% gold alloyed with 23% copper and 2% Cadmium. Light green jewellery affords its user heat as well as moistness; sense of being in control over events happenings around her. Moreover it bestows high interest in sex but lower fertility levels so that chance pregnancy is fairly avoided. Recommended: for women in uniforms, CEOs and those in authority.

Green: This colouring is very hard to get without the use of Cadmium. Gem & jewellery industry generally uses a standard of 75% gold, 20% silver and 5 % copper. However, this tint is not exactly green but greenish yellow. One way of making green alloy is to reduce the silver and copper proportionately and bring in Cadmium to the tune of 2 to 3% so that the resultant product is pigment green. As the colouring gives outward tough look but inward femininity it is mainly recommended for that battered housewife who is at the receiving end but wishes to remain a faithful spouse.

Deep green: Known also as dark green, results from a combination of 75% gold along with 15% silver, 6% copper and 4% Cadmium and associated alloy. Dark green god jewellery is in a class of its own. It is all about male Yang energy. Desire to control underpins this colour code. High pushers who need latent power source to display often settle on dark green. Used as commando fatigue and casual military attire dark green gets yet another name as jungle green. Used mainly by women in high ranks of service it has an obvious drawback: wearers often channelize their sex appeal not towards opposite but pin up on same sex enjoyment such as lesbianism or end up having wet dreams.

Moderation of Cadmium and its inherent toxic quality dictates that women wearing green gold jewellery should seek the right alloy combination to mitigate Cadmium induced toxicity. Additionally they should focus on the selection of right type of wear such as pendant, necklace etc., which provides effective cosmics, explained under each colour stream above. Finally, they must evaluate whether the use of gemstones could enhance positive cosmics for them. This is because, gems & metals are known vibrators and resonators.

Cadmium in Jewellery: Good and Bad

In manufacture of green gold jewellery Cadmium is used more than the permitted levels. Media hype against the use of Cadmium in general and law cases against jewellery retailors selling Cadmium tainted articles, have almost driven this light weight metal into oblivion. The permitted level of 0.03% is at best unachievable and at worst ridiculous. Cadmium has, like every metal good and bad side. Here is a review:

The metal Cadmium is classed with Zinc and Mercury in the Periodic Table. It has excellent features for using as an alloy metal in fabricating designer wear. Hardness of 2.0 in Mohs’ scale , melting point of 321 degree Celsius , density of 8.65 g/cm3 all go in tandem to make this soft bluish white metal very useful in jewellers’ repertoire.

It has multiple uses in jewellery manufacture. A key plus is seamless joining Cadmium offers to the workbench when minute pieces have to be banded together. Solders made from gold and Cadmium alloy comes very handy. Where any plating is to be carried out Cadmium is used as it promotes adhesiveness. Elsewhere, in the fashion jewellery industry, Cadmium is often alloyed with tin to give a fine metal flow that can be used to create excellent filigree work. Cadmium in general helps in fluidity and work hardening.

Yet, the big plus is not in normal jewellery, but in fabricating scintillating green gold jewellery. Cadmium is a definite must in every shades of green gold. Soft green gold items require trace element of Cadmium which can range below quarter per cent. Light green gold needs at-least 2 % while dark or deep green requires nothing less than 4 % of Cadmium in the alloy mixture.

On the flip side Cadmium toxicity is said to cause troubles in kidney, heart, lungs and tabooed as carcinogenic. Anaemia, Arthritis, Diabetes, Hypertension are some of the other notable ills. The main plank in which Cadmium toxicity works is making intrusion into the good job done by zinc and copper in human body. Yet most of its ill effects can be countered by using other minerals and metals. Chemical analyst ARL lists nutrients that counteract toxic side of rogue Cadmium. Amongst these, Zinc, Copper, Iron, Selenium and Manganese are highlighted as effective counter-balancing metals.

Ironically, Cadmium has unexpected allies in the form of its distractors. Dr Paul Eck, for example described Cadmium as “Pseudo – Masculine mineral” mainly with the intention of disparaging. Eventually, this resulted in building up of craze amongst men and women in getting Macho quality by using more Cadmium in one form or another. Irony has no bounds when it comes to Cadmium. Let us foray into cosmics of Cadmium. It is a soft metal, yet it is reported to give you toughness. Most chemical analysts accept that it has no necessary function in human body. Still everyone berates Cadmium toxicity as the main reason for most if not all diseases afflicting men. Here is the crowning moment. No blood test can diagnose whether a person has excess or deficit Cadmium in his body. Because, Cadmium vanishes into smithereens figuratively after it enters into human body.

My conclusion is, let’s work with Cadmium with sufficient safeguards. Gem & jewellery industry has to use gems & metals to make good piece of jewellery. And gems & metals are great resonators and vibrators motivating, influencing and directing you to succeed in life and business. What is needed, therefore, is to find ways and means of using metals including Cadmium. A good suggestion is to employ a proper alloy of metals that can mitigate ill effects of Cadmium toxicity. By the way, who does not want to be Macho these days?

Managing Cancer using Platinum Jewellery

Silvery metal Platinum is the most expensive one when it comes to making gem & jewellery out of it. Splendour of platinum jewellery is only one side of the story. Another property of this noble metal was cultured into anti-cancer drugs. Besides, using Platinum with appropriate alloy in jewellery must be encouraged to fight cancer. Details follow in this blog post:

Over the last few decades countries globally have expended considerable resources to lessen the traumatic effects of life threatening diseases chiefly amongst this rank cancer causing about 13 % of mortality. Each year around 12 million people are diagnosed with cancer in one form or other. At the same time, almost 8 million people die annually afflicted by cancer, a frightening ratio of 66%. A number of anti-cancer drugs were developed during the last few decades. One of these drugs, surprisingly, is extracted from the noble metal Platinum.

According to Johnson Matthey, Platinum was found to have a property of inhibiting the division of living cells such as cancer and the first Platinum based anti-cancer drug Cisplatin was formulated in 1977. Further research undertaken by laboratories led to the development of an improved drug Carboplatin in 1986. At present clinical tests are being carried out for a much improved drug by the name of Satratplatin which is expected to improve the survival rate amongst cancer patients. Moreover, it is the first “Platinum anti-cancer drug that can be administered orally instead of intravenously, allowing patients to be treated at home”.

But as the adage goes prevention is better than cure. Wearing jewellery made out of Platinum with proper alloy could result in managing cancer in a big way. The evidence is truly convincing. Japan is the biggest market for Platinum gem & jewellery in the world. If we examine statistics regarding death per 100,000 thousand people due to cancer, Japan records 145 people whereas most countries report over 150 per 100,000 people sometimes going as high as 433 as in the case of Netherlands. Incidentally the Dutch are not avid fans of Platinum jewellery.

To qualify as Platinum jewellery the content of Platinum must be more than 50%. Ordinarily Platinum ranges between 60 to 95 % and the rest is the alloy metals. However in treating Cancer the proportion of Platinum required and the other alloy metals depend on a particular individual. As a result mass produced Platinum jewellery articles can only contribute marginally in improving prospects of patients suffering from cancer or on the verge of developing one. This is because these pieces are turned out on a common alloy platform.

What is necessary is to analyse the personal data and extent of the spread of cancer or vulnerability and fashion platinum jewellery with right proportion of platinum and other alloys. To do that, it is necessary to understand the personal cosmics of a patient. Cosmics are aspects that one is born with residing within him influencing and impacting his life throughout. If you understand your cosmics then it is easy to settle on the right proportion of Platinum and needed alloy. Gems & metals play a supplementary role in every area of human life. In managing cancer it can play a much more important role.

Platinum Group of Metals in Jewellery

Today Platinum Group of metals leads the metal table in the trading floor. Out of the six metals in the group five are used in jewellery manufacture. The Platinum Group of Metals (PGM) consists of Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Osmium, Iridium and Platinum. Osmium is rarely used in jewellery because of concerns expressed regarding its allergic quality. Here is a pre-view of the rest of the metals and the extent of their use in jewellery.

Ruthenium: Symbol is Ru and Atomic Number is 44. Its hardness is assessed as 6.5 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is 2,250 Celsius. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 12.2 g/cm3. In the market place, it ranks 5^th on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is hexagonal and colour is silvery. Ruthenium is mainly used as alloy and that also much with Platinum

Rhodium: Symbol is Rh and Atomic Number is 45. Its hardness is assessed as 6.0 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is 1,966 Celsius. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 12.41 g/cm3. In the market place, it ranks 2^nd on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is silvery. Rhodium is mainly used for plating of white gold jewellery. Its other use is for alloying with other PGMs. As standalone jewellery it is not too significant. Nevertheless quite a few articles in the form of wedding bands and rings as well as bracelets are peddled in the gem & jewellery market.

Palladium: Symbol is Pd and Atomic Number is 46. Its hardness is assessed as 4.75 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is 1,552 Celsius. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 12.02 g/cm3. In the market place, it ranks 4^th on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is white. Palladium, next to Platinum is most extensively used metal in the PGMs. Almost becoming a craze amongst the young and old it goes as main metal jewellery in every type of wear including necklace. Like gold it is used for filling and finishing departments. Due to the proscription of nickel over health concerns, Palladium has replaced it in the manufacture of white gold jewellery.

Iridium: Symbol is Ir and Atomic Number is 77. Its hardness is same as Ruthenium at 6.5 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is highest amongst the PGMs at 2,410 Celsius. Density @ 293 K calculated as 22. 5 g/cm3 is once again highest for the PGMs. In the market place, it ranks 3^rd on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is spot white. Possessed of brilliant and shiny white colour, Iridium is used to give an extra finish to jewellery made of PGM group especially Platinum and Palladium. In the case of former, it forms a natural companionship resulting in well-known alloy “IridPlat” which is 90% Platinum and 10% Iridium, a material that is used to turn out eye catching jewellery pieces. On the same page of alloy, Iridium can be used outside the PGM in gold and silver jewellery as well to give fantastic colour and texture.

Platinum: Symbol is Pt and Atomic Number is 78. In terms of hardness Platinum is the lowest amongst the five and clocks 3.5 on Mohs’ scale. Melting point of 1,772 Celsius means lot of hard work at the bench when Platinum is the main metal. In comparison, Palladium is much easier for the fabricators and most often they tend to go for an alloy where Palladium is 20% to Platinum of 80%. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 21. 45 g/cm3 is few points below of Iridium. Most noteworthy feature is that Platinum is ranked as 1^st in the price chart not only of PGMs but for all precious metals traded in any metal exchange. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is silvery. Platinum jewellery is known for its sophistry, prestige and perhaps for snobbishness.

Choosing the right metal and appropriate alloy is not an easy task though. Apart from aesthetic and investment value of gem & jewellery, you must also look at the value of cosmics. As you are aware, cosmic energy emitting from gems & metals can make you a successful person. That is only possible when you select the right type of metals that works for you.

How Precious are Jewellery Metals?

When gold hit a recorded high in August 2011, it was in everybody’s lips as the most precious metal. But within eight months the free fall of the price on gold shocked the market. Evidently, Platinum as precious metal couldn’t be dethroned that easily. For those who are interested in gem & jewellery there are valid reasons to tie up with Platinum and other white metals.

Let me give you the closing list of prices of precious metals on August 13, 2012 in U S $ per ounce as below:

Platinum 1,487

Gold 1,323

Rhodium 1,010

Iridium 850

Palladium 735

Ruthenium 80

Silver 21

As I said in the beginning gold hit the recorded highest price in August 2011 when it traded around US $ 1,909/- per ounce. But price for Platinum continued to fluctuate in a narrow range without much hiccups. Same is true for many other metals in the chart above. Except for Gold and Silver, other metals in the chart are collectively known as Platinum Group of Metals (PGM). That means Platinum, Rhodium, Iridium, Palladium and Ruthenium are bunched together. These metals are sought after by consumers and fabricators of gem & jewellery.

Some interesting facts emerge about PGM. A major salience is that all these metals appear in the Periodic Table under Transition metals category in line 5 & 6 due mainly because these have similar physical and chemical properties. All these are white or near white metals. PGM also includes Osmium which is not very much used in jewellery articles. Reportedly, Osmium reacts with oxygen at room temperature and being fairly volatile is said to harm human skin.

Second point is that PGM is divided into two sub-groups. Iridium sub-group includes Ruthenium, Osmium, and Iridium. Out of this Iridium is so pricey and ranks fourth in the above precious metals list. Next, Palladium sub-group nestles under it Rhodium, Palladium and Platinum. If you whet the chart once again, you will see all three metals perch on the top of the range. Overall, it is the Platinum Group of Metals that hold sway in the market today.

Silver is last in the pecking order. Nonetheless it shares a feature of being whitish metal with the PGM. The odd man out in the list is Gold which is of golden –yellow colour. White metals are extensively used in jewellery fabrication.

A good piece of jewellery made of precious metals is a treasure to be owned and relished. Apart from aesthetic and investment value, gem & jewellery has cosmics in abundance. This energy is enhanced when suitable cosmic gems embellish articles of jewellery. As you are aware gems & metals are great vibrators. Selecting the right gem alone is not enough; you have to zero in on the right metal as well. In this regard, white precious metals afford you variety. More than that there is price competitiveness too.

Decagram Cosmic Jewellery

Rendered in multifarious forms Decagram cosmic jewellery is catching up in the gem & jewellery market place. Unlike in the case of designer ware, cosmic jewellery is made for a special person you are who value fastidiousness and at the same time usefulness in harnessing your personal cosmics to lead a successful life. Here is brief portrait of Decagram Cosmic Jewellery.

Decagram is ten-pointed star whose origin can be traced to a decagon. Simply stated decagon is a star polygon with 10 sides and angles where the sides are equal in space. If drawn within a circle the space between two pointers is 36 degree. Popular designs of decagram include ten-pointed star, decagon with 10 sides trimmed and floral relief in line with the flower Mentzalia. The last one lifts the veil of secrecy surrounding decagram. Biologically there is no flower that boasts ten petals. Closer examination reveals that Mentzalia actually has only five petals and the rest are of split growth that intertwines cleverly giving the impression of ten petals. From here we can move on to yet another way of making a decagram, that is to place two pentagrams ( five – pointed star) overlying on each other in opposite direction. So we have two pentagrams one normal and the other inverse in a decagram.

Combing these two shapes into one, decagram is said to harmonize two diametrically opposed forces and fuse them into a single synergistic cosmic flow. For example normal pentagram is said to give protection, defence and sky whereas an inverse pentagram is associated with deflection, attack and earth. Admittedly the former takes you to higher self-consciousness while the latter pulls you to practical reality. No wonder why inverse program was often linked to Bapometh, who is a devilish goat faced God who really means business in his work schedule. Many other diametrically opposite aspects are corralled in a decagram. Masculine & feminine, lingam & yoni, Shiva & Shakti, rise & fall, Isis & Osiris in Egypt, spirituality & secularism and so on.

Decagram cosmic jewellery is used for several occasions. Starting a new life, career and course of study necessitates a decagram donned by you. If your profession demands balancing between two opposing forces, say a fund manager or stockbroker who constantly has to trade –off risk and reward, then Decagram is a good piece of jewellery for you. Managing polarity in everything you do, mandates that you better be guarded by decagram cosmic jewellery. A racing car driver sandwiched between caution and speed is a perfect example of someone managing polarity.

Many types of jewellery wear can sport a marvellous decagram for that winning streak. Adorned as a pendant in and around your neck, decagram could be laid within a circle. Further flourish can be worked into this piece by adding images on the sides or embossing the lines in varying thickness. At each point touching the outer circle suitable gemstones could be embellished. Using 10 petals is another option. In petals floral rendering can add colour and credence. A simple ten pointed star with or without a base would be enough in most cases.

Circular ring with decagram inside is majestic. Turning it as a signet ring is another possibility. Bracelets can be worn with decagon on the surface. A better way to make it as a dangling one tied to the bracelet via chain. Suitable cosmic gems must be brought in as accent stones or if necessary as a main one studded in the centre. Ostensibly gems & metals act as great vibrators and resonators in generating cosmic energy provided that, suitable gems & metals are chosen. That would guarantee getting the best deal. A timely reminder once again: get your cosmics work for you by using proper gem & jewellery.

Using Niobium Wire as Cosmic Jewellery

Space – age metal Niobium has multiple uses for the jewellery industry. Sold as Niobium wire it is used to turn out ear wire, clasp, loop, stem, pin, blank and hooks which are collectively known as jewellery findings. Solder less chain, jump ring and bangles are also made from this wire. Yet the best use for which Niobium wire can be put is to fabricate comic jewellery.

Niobium possesses a greater degree of Yin, the feminine element. Not only because the metal is named after Greek goddess of Niobe that has given an aura of femininity but also due to its unique position in the metal table. For example Titanium, Rhodium, Germanium and Niobium are measured of having the same hardness of 6 in terms of Mohs scale. Amongst these metals Niobium has the highest melting point at 2,468 C. Yet Niobium is more malleable and ductile than others in the table. Moreover, natural Niobium which is silver grey white metal can lend itself to be anodized in rainbow colours, a feature that goes with femininity.

This fact alone has led jewellers to have a love affair with this metal. Admittedly it is the slew of anodized colours that gives the metal a touch of class and beauty. World over women admire this metal for its beauty, shine and smoothness that reaches them at an affordable price. Apart from using as jewellery findings such as ear and nose wire that pierce body without ever harming it, Niobium wire alone can be used as cosmic jewellery with least working on it.

Jump ring made of Niobium wire started this trend and today solder less chain, bangles and bracelets are readily available in the market to be worn by women to reap cosmic energy. Couple of salience has given Niobium a big boost. One is Niobium cannot be soldered as a result jewellers use cold work techniques such as miniature rivets , bezels and bolts to join two parts together as in the case of bangles. Second point is even though fusion welding can be effectively used as joiner to fabricate say, a bracelet, and users prefer leaving two ends touching barely each other. This method allows cosmic energy to flow to and fro in a loop with occasional leakage to the skin so that energy is re-generated, circulated and absorbed in an ideal manner.

As a soft shiny metal Niobium is hypoallergenic and keep you steady. Niobium wire does not cause metal reaction. But much depends on the anodized colour. In addition to rainbow colours of orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet the wire is overlaid with scintillating hues such as rose, cobalt-blue, peacock-blue, pink, brown and other tints. Selection of the right colour tone is crucial to get positive cosmics from your Niobium wire.

For example you might like the colour rose but your cosmics would repel this colour. In that situation, if you wear rose coloured Niobium wire then it is counter – productive. Understanding your cosmics is the first step you should take. As you are aware cosmics relate to aspects that are residing within you un-known and un-fathomed by you but work behind the scene and influence and impact you throughout your life and career. You like Niobium because your system wishes to enhance female energy. Now you have to extend this liking to internalize by zeroing on the right tone of colour.

Ideal Number of Jewellery Articles

You have got used to wearing commercial jewellery which you can use any way you want and any number of items you can afford to. But when it comes to cosmic jewellery it is different. Often you are advised to wear a particular number of articles so that you can garner the benefits of using these seamlessly. Here is a brief discourse:

Unlike in the case of commercial jewellery which only adds aesthetic value, cosmic jewellery grants you utility value. Simply speaking cosmic jewellery is donned by you for a particular purpose. Such purposes include, but not limited to health & wealth, love & affection, relationship issues, enhancing self-confidence, boosting personality and making you perceived as a smarter and lovable person. Moreover, enhancing balance & harmony; uplifting winning spirits, along with harnessing positive cosmics are few other purposes. Money minded persons would like improving fortune and business prospects. When you have multiple purposes you will need multiple solutions in the form of different items of cosmic jewellery. More of it the merrier you will think.

It is not so. When you wear a single item of jewellery you have one permutation and combination. When the second item is added you have three permutation and combination. Third leads to six and fourth one jacks it up to ten. At this point we have to draw the line. Otherwise, you will not be able to handle the flow of cosmics emanating from the articles of gem & jewellery you use and channelize it in effective manner.

But if you wish to wear different sets of jewellery for different times help is on the way. One method is to use a set of cosmic jewellery of four pieces during waxing moon and another group during waning moon. Similarly you can wear different assemblage on the basis of months. For example, during January you can use four items and as you reach first of February you remove the ones you had used, and switch on to another cluster. This scheme can be extended to seasons as well. You can adorn an assortment of jewellery article for spring and another collection for summer. Whatever you do remember one thing. You should not wear anything more than four pieces of jewellery articles in a given time.

All that Glitters is not Gold

You must beware when buying gold articles from gem & jewellery market place. Appearance can be misleading and much so in gold jewellery. So the adage “All that glitters is not gold” applies well in the case of jewellery articles peddled as gold. There are several ways in which base metals can be turned into gold like jewellery. Chiefly amongst these are gold finished, gold plated, rolled god and gold filled ones. Here is a primer on these types.

Gold Finished: This type of jewellery is vended under names such as “gold tone”, “gold flash” and “gilt finished” as well. The jewellery articles are initially made with base metals such as copper, steel or brass and then subjected to a thin coat of gold layer being electroplated using pressure and heat. Another method is to dip the jewellery piece into a gold mixed solution and heat it to dry. The thin layer is about 0.2 to 1.0 microns of gold. A micron means a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter. You can easily rub off the thin layer even by using your nails. The brightness of gold vanishes in no time.

Gold Plated: Surface of Jewellery articles made from underlying metals such as copper, steel, brass or in some cases silver and palladium is plated with gold using electroplating applied through electricity and chemical deposition. Normal plating uses about 1 to 10 microns gold whereas heavy plating can go up as high as 20 microns gold. Brightness can diminish after prolonged use and the surface can be peeled off or flaked off, depending on the level of microns. Normal plated articles could last for couple of years if carefully used. Heavy plated ones can last a decade or so if you are careful, manufacturing guarantee of the jeweller notwithstanding.

Rolled Gold: Unlike in the case of plating where articles of jewellery being plated, rolled gold is made as a sheet for the jeweller to be used as raw material. There is no plating process applied here. What happens is base metal such as copper, steel or brass is cloaked with a layer of gold and thereafter heat fussed together to arrive at rolled gold. Hence this method is known as fusion process. Generally 20 to 40 microns gold is fused. Thereafter using this rolled gold sheet jewellery pieces are fabricated. Gold content in the finished articles is standardised as 2.5 % of the total weight. Rolled gold items last for several years intact.

Gold Filled: Similar to the above, layer of gold is rolled over underlying metal such as copper, steel, brass and silver under high pressure until it is bonded. Gold filled sheet might contain 40 to 100 microns sometimes even more. Jewellery articles made from gold filled metal can last for a lifetime. Gold content in the finished jewellery articles must be at-least 5% of the total weight

Even though rolled gold and gold filled are referred to by a common name as “Gold Overlay” there is clear distinction of using these depending on the level of microns gold used and the type of underlying metal. For instance the term rolled gold is perceived as applicable to non-precious metals such as copper, steel and brass that are subjected to the fusion process. In the case of gold filled, it can be used for both non-precious metals and precious metals including silver and palladium.

It must be pointed out that gems & metals have inherent cosmics that influence and impact you. Gold is a key metal generating cosmics in the form of and cosmic energy. It helps you in enhancing your mental ability. Gold also provides warmth, wisdom and wealth. Incidence of arthritic disorders and chronic diseases is lessened when you wear gold jewellery. However when the content of gold is less it can be easily presumed that resulting cosmic energy is also would be lower.
