Hi goldmatters. Mene is definitely the mother load of choices for gold jewelry. Love to know what carat of gold was used in Jewelry 100 years ago. Is the 14 carat a modern thing or has it been around a long time?

As I understand it is a more modern concept...although it is interesting to know that metal debasing has gone one for many centuries, often to ill effect. Take the Roman Empire for example ...there is some evidence that the debasement of the silver denari led to the fall of the Roman Empire...
