The influence of gold on human beings continues to be decidedly important and “impacting”: since the discovery of this metal, considered the most tender and malleable of all, the very first civilizations have invested large quantities of resources to find as much gold as possible , making this chemical element long the “king of metals”. Although today it has significantly “lost positions” on the scale of metals with the greatest value and rarity, theoro it remains not only an important but fundamental element both in the economic / commercial sphere but also in the manufacturing and “cultural” one.
“Impact” metals
In certain historical contexts, in fact, the conditions for the so-called gold fever, that is the frantic search for this metal with the hope of obtaining an easy life from an economic point of view. Even the largest expeditions have had as their “justification” the search for gold, for example those that led Christopher Columbus to venture towards the American continent, but also the “gold rushes” in Alaska, for example, which took place in 19th century, which led entire towns to mobilize for easy income. In fact, gold even in its raw state, despite being excessively soft and fragile to be used, turns out to be an important bargaining chip. When referring to the gold used, as far as our country is concerned, the 18-karat variant is indicated above all, also called 750, due to the quantity of pure gold expressed in thousandths. This is the most used type of gold alloy for the creation of jewels, and like all the other main shades it undergoes the inevitable “jumps” in value from the ever-changing market.
Used gold is alert: this is how far the value could go
Taking for example the gold used just mentioned, the value is almost 40 euro per gram, precisely 39.29 euros. In this first half of 2022 in value it is significantly higher in the face of a greater demand than last year: in the second half of 2022 the valuation could exceed 45 euros per gram.
