Gold Carat Guide
Eleganz Atelier • Transparency & QualityWhat Does Carat Mean in Gold?
The purity of gold is traditionally measured in carats (K). While 24 carat represents pure gold, lower carat values contain a blend of additional fine metals. This deliberate alloy process makes the jewelry significantly more resilient, robust, and durable for everyday wear.
At Eleganz Atelier, we exclusively use genuine, certified gold and label the exact carat value of every single piece of jewelry in a fully transparent and traceable manner for you.
