The serial number of pure purple and gold jewelry is 585, which is equivalent to what we call 24K, and the rest is 375, which is equivalent to our 18K. Unlike gold and platinum, Zijin has a gold content as high as 585%, high hardness and bright color, which is slightly inferior to 375.
Russia is its main producing area, and the rest are also distributed in Turkey and other countries, but Russia's Zijin is the most famous in the world, especially Russia's vast territory and rich resources. Zijin has different colors due to different places of origin.
Zijin has exquisite craftsmanship. Even the same brand of Zijin jewelry will have different colors and brightness because of different techniques. However, Zijin jewelry is superior to platinum and gold in brightness, glossiness, hardness and wear resistance. Even after wearing it for many years, it still maintains its original luster.

The difference between Russian Zijin and lottery gold
In the lottery family, there is an innate extravagance, that is, Zijin, which is known as "holy gold" and "national gold" in Russia. Different from other non-ferrous gold, Zijin is a natural deposit formed by the fusion of gold and copper.
Lottery gold is a mixture of gold and other metals. Because the raw materials are extremely scarce and the separation process is extremely complicated, almost all Zijin ornaments are processed and produced in Russia. Even a jewelry manufacturing base like Shenzhen Shuibei has not seen any enterprises set foot in it for the time being.
Zijin and rose gold are very similar in color, but they are not in the same class in terms of rarity and preciousness. Zijin deity is a kind of natural colored gold, which has its own chemical properties before being mined and refined. This summer, Zijin came all the way from Russian to China, setting off a purple storm with a different personality.
Zijin ornaments in the market are mainly inlaid, and most of them are designed with rubies, sapphires, diamonds and semi-colored treasures. Zijin jewelry has an exaggerated and rich Russian style. Designers also like to incorporate the images of owls, ostriches, elephants, foxes and other animals into their works to convey the environmental protection concept of "being close to nature" and "caring for the earth".
At present, no matter in which country, Zijin jewelry is generally priced by piece, and the weight is also used as a reference for pricing. At present, the retail price of counters is about one gram in 400 yuan, which is between gold and platinum.
