This means gold of twenty four carats,
and this is the standard recognized by
the mint master and dealers in gold.
As matter of fact. however, there is
no gold SO pure. Gold of twenty-five
caratS is about us pure as ii can be got
1t has two parts of silver or one part
of silver and one part of copper. The
copper darkens the color of gold, while
silver lghtens ii in color. Twenty
three carat gold is occasionally seen,
which means II half carat of silver and
of copper Ordinarily eighteen carat

Certainly it is the best for jewelry, for
