Although "gold is a symbol of wealth" and its status as a constant is changing, people still can't resist the enthusiasm for gold.

Not everyone knows about gold jewelry, but many people may not know much about Vietnamese gold jewelry.
Vietnamese placer gold is a kind of raw gold product with low content and unrefined. This is a gem made of raw gold. The color is similar to gold jewelry, and the price is low, which is deeply loved by the Vietnamese people.
The gold content of Vietnamese gold is different from that of China. The highest gold in China can reach 999 gold, or "1,000 yuan". High purity and golden color.
Gold in Vietnam is generally 99 gold, with a gold content of around 5%, which is very low. At first glance, it is golden yellow or white.
Placer gold mines are similar to gold mines that extract gold. If the purity is too low, the success rate of refining will be higher than the ore itself. For example, the cost of extracting 1g gold from ores with gold content below 10% is usually higher than that of 200 yuan, while the cost of extracting 1g gold from ores with gold content below 5% may be as high as that of 500 yuan.
There is a kind of placer gold jewelry, which is made of the residual waste of pure gold ore and has extremely low gold content.

If it is all gold, the price of the ring is about 3000 yuan, and the gold bracelet is about 20 grams, which is about 9000 yuan. Gold necklaces are generally 20 ~ 30 grams.
If it is placer gold, the price of a male necklace above 100g is several hundred yuan, while that of a female necklace within 200 yuan is around100g.
Placer gold and gold are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye without professional instruments. The similarity between them can reach 95%.
