About
Gold is typically offered as solid, nickel-free 14K (58.5% gold) or 18K (75% gold) in yellow, red, and white tones.
Casting shrinks the metal by about 1–1.5% and polishing removes more, so finished pieces come out slightly smaller than the model. Typical limits are walls of about 0.8 mm and details of about 0.35 mm.
Gold is a good option for earrings, pendants, bracelets, and unique art designs.
