Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin : aurum "gold") and an atomic number of 79. Gold is a dense, soft, shiny metal and the most malleable and ductile metal known. Pure gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidizing in air or water. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element . It is one of the least reactive solid chemical elements. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits . Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, usually with tellurium .
10K Gold is a common alloyed variety used for jewelry. 10K gold is less expensive than 14K, 18K or 24K (Pure Gold). Kraftwurx offers 10K gold i both yellow and white varieties as these are the most commonly used. 10K gold is a good compromise between cost and durability.
