How to choose gold and silver models?
In today's high-tech age, precision watches are commonplace. Close attention is paid to appearance. Many models look like decoration - they contain precious stones and expensive metals.
To choose a gold or silver watch, you should pay attention to the following nuances.
- Try. Nick uses test gold 585 and silver 925. A test means the number of grams of metal per kilogram of alloy. Carats are indicated on foreign products, and samples on domestic products. You also need to pay attention to the assay mark - it shows the profile of a female head in a kokoshnik turned to the right.
Gold is a soft metal and more prone to scratches. Gold watches are suitable for any events, and for everyday wear it is better to choose silver.
- Silver has a noble cool color and fits almost any look. With gold, things are more complicated.It can be white (the alloy contains silver, palladium, nickel), yellow (with silver and copper), pink (maximum copper content).
Yellow gold is a classic that stays out of time and fashion. White gold is similar to silver, and therefore accessories from it are universal. Rose gold will be preferred by fashionistas who like to be in the spotlight.
- A watch on a bracelet made of gold or silver for a man is an indicator of status, women acquire them because of their beauty and original appearance. By design, these can be concise models without frills, decorated with stones, with a variety of interweaving links and suspensions.
