5 thoughts on “Why did the state abolish the "thousand gold"?”

  1. the national jewelry Standards Technical Committee has passed the mandatory revision of the precious metal purity regulations and nomenclature in jewelry, which stipulates that jewelry products (gold, platinum, palladium and silver) with sufficient content have the highest purity this standard was formally implemented on May 4, 2016. It was cancelled 14 years after it entered the international stage

    why cancel the term "daughter"? Why is it difficult to specify that all gold is the highest purity of gold jewelry

    in this regard, the National Standardization Administration explained that the gold content of jewelry should not be lower than 999 ‰, and the gold content of jewelry should not be lower than 990 ‰

    gold jewelry, mainly used for decoration. However, gold jewelry with high gold content has disadvantages such as low hardness and easy deformation. In order to ensure that the gold content meets the requirements, solder cannot be used in the production process, and the modeling style of gold jewelry is limited. There is no difference between products with 990 ‰ content and products with high appearance content. Solder can be used for production, which can make the shapes and styles of gold jewelry more diversified and provide more choices the cancellation of the "Qianjin" statement does not mean that the industry standard has been lowered, but that the formulation of the standard is more in line with the characteristics of gold jewelry products and reflects the responsibility to protect the rights and interests of consumers and promote market fairness

    in particular, the raw materials of 1000 pieces of gold jewelry generally use the national No. 1 standard. The gold content is 999.9 ‰, which is only 0.9 ‰ higher than the gold standard

    take 10g gold bracelet as an example. 999.9 ‰ GB No. 1 gold is used as raw material, and the impurity content shall not exceed 0.009g

    the highest golden color of solder is only 98%. The more solder joints and fluxes, the lower the gold purity of jewelry

  2. Nowadays, thousands of gold almost dominate the gold jewelry market, and consumers gradually accept thousands of gold. In December 2014, the national jewelry Standards Technical Committee passed the mandatory amendment to the regulations on the purity and nomenclature of precious metals in jewelry. The purity expression method and relevant contents of "qianzu gold", "qianzu platinum", "qianzu palladium" and "qianzu silver" are deleted in the amendment; It is stipulated that the jewelry products with enough (gold, platinum, palladium and silver) shall have the highest purity. This standard was formally implemented on May 4, 2016

    this means that qianzujin was cancelled 14 years after it entered the national standard. After the implementation of the provisions, enterprises will not be allowed to appear the title of "thousand gold" when promoting the purity of gold jewelry. Why cancel the purity name of qianzujin? Why should we rigidly stipulate that full gold is the highest purity of gold jewelry

    in this regard, the National Standardization Administration explained that "thousand gold" means that the gold content of jewelry is not less than 999 ‰, and "full gold" means that the gold content of jewelry is not less than 990 ‰

    as jewelry, gold jewelry is still positioned to provide decorative functions. Jewelry with too high gold content has weaknesses such as low hardness, soft texture and easy deformation during wearing. At the same time, in order to ensure that the content meets the requirements, solder can not be used in the production process, which greatly limits the style of the product and inhibits the play of decoration function. Products with a content of 990 ‰ are not only indistinguishable from products with a higher content in appearance, but also can use solder in production, with more diversified product styles

    this is by no means a reduction in the level of standards. On the contrary, it reflects that the formulation of standards is more in line with the nature of jewelry products, and more reflects the responsibility to protect consumer rights and interests and promote market fairness

    the standard revision only unifies the purity naming specification, and does not restrict high-content products such as "qianzu". Enterprises can still express the precious metal content of their products to consumers in a compliant form through enterprise standards, and tell consumers the product quality information in detail and accurately. Moreover, jewelry is a product with high artistic added value that emphasizes design and craft

    in the period of social prosperity and economic development, jewelry products should highlight their artistic value. Similarly, jewelry is also different from pure stored value gold bars and bricks, and the value of materials should not be considered too much
