  • Some Things You Didn't Know About Gold
    25 Interesting facts that most people don't know about gold.

    1. Gold was probably the first metal worked by man, gold objects have been found that date back as far as 4,000 B.C.

    2. The Egyptians were the first recorded civilization to use gold for jewelry.
  • Gold Comes In A Rainbow of Colors
    Pure gold only comes in one color, but when it is pure it is really too soft to use for much so it is alloyed (or mixed) with a range of different metals. The result is a metal that is hard enough to be useful, but sill malleable enough to manipulate. Adding different metals creates different gold colors (and hardnesses) which is why we have so many gold colors to choose from today.
