An item crafted from an alloy where 10 parts out of 24 are pure gold, combined with other metals to enhance its strength and durability, and designed to be worn around the wrist as ornamentation. A common example features a chain link design secured with a clasp.
This type of jewelry offers a balance between value and resilience, making it suitable for daily wear. Its lower gold content, compared to higher karat options, results in increased resistance to scratches and dents. Historically, blending gold with other metals allowed artisans to create more robust and affordable adornments, expanding access to precious metal jewelry across various social strata.
