Is 9 Carat Jewellery, Such As Pendants & Necklace Chains, Snubbed In Isaan?

[mario299]

What about Kruger Rands and the coin produced by the West. Australian Mint which they claim to be the purest gold in the World? I wonder how these would go down in Thailand.

the advantage of Krüger Rands is that they can't be porned

Please educate me on Kruger Rands...aren't they only 91% gold, mixed with copper? The China Panda and the American Gold Eagles are one troy ounce like the Kruggerand, but since the gold content is 99% I believe, makes them more valuable per ounce. Yes?

Thanks.

Krüger Rands contain exactly one ounce of 999 fine Gold. because they also contain a small amount of other metals their weight is slightly higher than one ounce.

I would suggest that none of you westernise your thai partners.

When we lived in Thailand my partner would only want thai gold for the money in the bank value of it. She had sufficent of it but never wore the heavy thick gold chain (thankfully) only the real thin gold chain. Then we came and lived in the western world and she learnt the true value of having cheaper harder gold chain. She become a diamond lover (I wish she hadn't) and there she learnt the hard lesson of trying to wear expensive diamonds on soft light thai gold chains. She eventually lost a single one carat diamond that she was trying to wear on light thai gold chain that kept unthreading and breaking - one could see the eventual end result a long way out but some cannot be told. I also had the same problem with light thai gold chain always breaking with the pendant that I used to wear. And neither of us like wearing the heavy thick thai chains. Thai gold does have the better value for cash needs but that is about it. For security of expensive stones like diamonds and for a balanced look the lighter stronger cheaper western chain is all my partner will now wear. But then the interest and real value isn't the gold its the 1 carat single diamonds.

only an ignorant clown of goldsmith would use a higher purity than 22 carat gold to carry a valuable 1 carat diamond.

having said so, there are 1 carat diamonds which may cost 22,000 (and more) dollars and 1 carat diamonds (real not fake!) which are available for a couple of hundred dollars. when it concerns diamonds then "carat" means abso-<deleted>-lutely nothing.

According http://www.sqmetals....gold_coins.html my lung Paul coins do have a fineness of four nines, not three nines, 2007 Canadian Maple Leafs five nines, Americal Eagles 916, etc.. I do not really trust this webpage especially after reading that the Americal Eagles "have become the world's most widely traded gold bullion coins." Is not lung Pauls coin the widest available and most circulated gold coin in the world ? And how to categorize todays nanometer gold rods ? Nanometer gold rods can be categorized as invisible gold, made visible and heated by infrared light. Definitions are nothing more than simplified specifications for usage. Coins are supposed to be counted easily by our walking fingers.

According http://www.sqmetals....gold_coins.html Krugerrand gold coins do have a finess of .9999 .

Such fineness would imply a 24K * 0.9999 = 23.996K gold coin in case of a 22K Krugerrand gold coin.

However the reported finess is 22K, not 23.996K, being 22K / 24K = 0.9167 being very different from .9999 .

Why ? I don't know.

Purity of the gold initial used in processing these gold copper alloys must be significant higher

than 0.9167 otherwise it can never ever be lowered to a gold copper alloy having an accurate fineness

of 0.9167 .

Yesterday I bought 5000 G-coins for my brothers daughter.

Isn't love more precious than gold ?

If you read the article carefully you will note that the Kruger Rand is 1oz imperial of 22 carrat, this equates to 1 troy oz of pure gold

Mr. Godfried Bomans, in the past, a famous Dutch writer, would ask, nicely, but I believe not before you had paid him a sufficient amount of Dutch gilders "What do you want to communicate ?" Not an irrelevant question related to all those nines. Then he would give the following tip "First let me remove all the words that are not really needed". Would that not lead to the following statement: "1 oz whatever of 22 carrat equates to 1 oz of 24 carrat" ? Please correct me if I am wrong here, but the gold coins mentioned do indeed have a weight of not exactly 1.0000 but 1.0909 oz (including the copper, resulting in 22 carrat) which (in amount of gold) equates to 1 troy oz of pure gold (24 carrat), so "1.0909 whatever of 22 carrat equates to 1.0000 oz of 24 carrat". However, this still does not explain the presence of the four nines in the header of the article. Formula for relating the fineness mentioned in the header (H = .9999, which is not correct) to the finess specified (S = 22 carrat. which is correct): H = S / 24. Maybe the outcome did not satisfy the marketing department of Mr. Steve Quayle.
