Giving gold jewellery without getting it wrong

Gold jewellery is kept for a long time and often ends up being handed down. It still has to be worn. When you don't know the person's finger size, the safest choice is a piece that needs none: a pendant, a chain or earrings. A ring or a bangle calls for a measurement.

Next, look at the colour of the jewellery she or he already wears. Yellow, white or rose, 18-carat gold always contains the same share of pure gold, 75%; only the added metals change the tint. Our article on yellow, white and rose gold says what care each colour needs.

A discreet piece that can be worn every day often gets more use than a showpiece. To search by person, see the jewellery for her and the jewellery for him.

Frequently asked questions

By the hallmark and by the invoice. 18-carat gold corresponds to 750 thousandths, and in Morocco gold articles go through a guarantee office that checks the fineness and applies a hallmark (pieces of one gram or less are exempt). Ask to see that hallmark and have the metal and its fineness written on the invoice. Our advice on buying a diamond with confidence in Morocco sets out these checks.

Avoid a ring, or discreetly borrow one worn on the same finger and measure its inside diameter. Otherwise, a pendant or earrings raise no question of size.

No. At 18 carats, both contain 75% pure gold. White gold owes its colour to the white metals in the alloy and to a thin layer of rhodium, which wears with time and which a jeweller can redo.
