The most common jewels are those made of 18 carat gold. You should consider that gold is sold in grams, and the greater the weight in grams of the piece, the greater the cost.

As regards colors, yellow gold is the most common and the one in greatest demand; although white and pink gold are also very popular. The color is determined by the alloy that has been used to give brightness, durability or hardness.
