Do you want to know everything about 18K gold and understand why it is one of the most precious noble metals on the planet? We'll tell you all about it.
At Mumit, 18K gold is one of our hallmarks. Each and every one of our jewels is crafted in 18K yellow, white, and rose gold, as it is a material that possesses an undeniable essence of sophistication and beauty.
Gold is a noble metal that, besides being beautiful, never ceases to fascinate us with the many secrets it hides, making it even more alluring. Below, we explain 5 fascinating facts about gold that you will love to know.
Gold in the human body
Gold is an incredible metal that has always fascinated master jewelers. But probably few of them knew that they had gold inside their bodies. Approximately 0.2 milligrams of gold flow through our bloodstream. A very small amount, but no less surprising.
At Mumit, gold never ceases to amaze us. That is why we craft all our jewelry in 18K gold, as we seek to share this fascination by creating unique and timeless pieces.
Gold in the sea
Our oceans not only contain spectacular natural pearls with which Mumit creates its incredible pieces from the Mabi Blet collection of earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets. In addition, it is estimated that every liter of ocean water contains 13,000 millionths of a gram of gold. That is, in one cubic kilometer, there are 13 kg of gold in the water.
Therefore, it is estimated that the planet's oceans may contain up to 20 million tons of gold. What is still unknown is how to harness the gold present in these waters.
The largest gold nugget in the world
Few things can marvel the eye as much as the fire that emerges from 18K gold, radiating its splendid and captivating brilliance. This must have been the case when the largest gold nugget in the world was discovered in Australia in 1869. Named "Welcome Stranger," it weighed 71 kilos, and its current value would be around one million dollars.
At Mumit, the gold we work with meets the highest market standards, always maintaining the best quality-price balance for anyone who is captivated by them. This is the case with the Dance ring, where the vibrant dance between emeralds and diamonds finds its ideal dance floor in 18K yellow gold.
Properties of gold
Gold is breathtaking in every one of its facets. One of them is the peculiarity of its properties. It can be transformed into wires, bars, sheets, and even transparent foils, as gold is the most malleable and ductile of all metals. If you are interested in the gold transformation process, we invite you to read our post on how white gold is made.
It is not affected by air, heat, or humidity, as gold does not oxidize. However, mercury does affect it, as it can dissolve it. Therefore, we must be extremely careful with our gold jewelry and avoid bringing it near this substance if we do not want it to lose its breathtaking charm.
The meaning of gold
That fire-like brilliance. That spectacularity made metal with which Mumit has created daring and versatile jewels such as the Rolo bracelet. That beauty contained in such an amazing material. Gold has always fascinated us. That is why its name comes from the Latin "aurum," meaning "bright dawn."
A bright dawn that shines stronger than ever in Mumit's collections crafted in 18K yellow, white, or rose gold and with vibrant gemstones and diamonds. A combination that pays tribute to the beauty of the blend between minimalism and modernity. Discover all our gold jewelry at mumit.com or on our social media!
