the purity of gold jewelry is always classified in karat (also known as carat). A karat is the traditional measure of purity contained in the alloy of gold used to make a piece of jewelry; the scale ranges from 1 to 24, with 24-karat representing pure gold. Karat measure is rarely applied to bullion or bullion coin products.

The foregoing is not meant to be a complete compilation of gold vital statistics, but only an attempt to cover some of the more salient terms and characteristics found by gold investors on a regular basis.
