Italians have participated in making gold jewelry items for close to three thousand years. The Italians who lived in the Tuscany region are the ones who started the major interest in products of fine gold and this love for gold items continues developing up to now. Nowadays, Italians process and utilize almost five hundred tons of quality gold every year. There are just about ten thousand companies working with gold products in Italy and they employ a large number of people estimated at about forty thousand.

It is not possible to use pure gold by itself because it is not strong or firm enough. It is necessary to make it stronger by mixing it chemically using a metal base to create an alloy. The usual metals that work as metal bases are copper, silver and nickel. The unit used to indicate the proportion of pure gold contained in an alloy is the carat denoted by "k". Pure gold contains 24 k.

Various countries use different levels of gold quality. The level of gold quality in Europe is 18 k. Italians also use this quality standard but they also use greater levels. In the making of bracelets and rings, the basic carat content is 14 since it makes these products last longer.
