Owning a real gold Jesus piece

A real gold Jesus piece is exactly what it sounds like—a gold pendant in the image of Jesus Christ’s face. These pendants are worn with a thick gold chain, and are usually heavy and encrusted with diamonds. The image of Jesus is meant to be featured prominently.

Gold karats

Gold jewelry usually come in different karats that indicate how much gold is present in the piece. The lower the carat is, the less gold is present. Usually, jewelers mix gold with another metal in order to create a harder alloy, because pure gold is very malleable. 10K gold jewelry are the cheapest and hardest, but they also don’t have as much luster as jewelry with higher karats. 14K jewelry is a little less sturdy, but doesn’t tarnish as easily. 18K gold is a better choice, because it has a lot more luster and the gold lasts longer. 24K gold is pure gold and very malleable, but it also has a lot more luster.

Jesus piece designs

There are many types of Jesus pieces, though the most common are the pendants shaped like Jesus’s head. These pendants are very recognizable and are commonly worn on their own. Other pendants are circular or oval and look like medallions, with Jesus’s face featured prominently. Other pendants are large, ornate crosses that are often worn with other necklaces.

A real gold Jesus piece can either be a simple gold piece or a very ornate one. Pendants are often embellished with diamond studs or intricate patterns. The piece can either be flat or have a 3D image of Jesus. The wide variety of these pendants are sold in physical shops as well as various online stores.

Piece maintenance

If you have a lower karat piece, like 10 or 14 karats, it’s best if you take good care of it so the gold won’t tarnish. Always remove your piece when you are going swimming and before you bathe. Also, use good non-abrasive polishing compounds to clean and polish your piece. You can use rubbing alcohol, but avoid using bleach and other similar substances that can corrode the metal. Always remember to inspect your piece regularly for breaks, cracks, and other signs of damage. When you see damage, don’t try to fix it yourself and bring it to a jeweler instead. Your real gold Jesus piece can last a long time if you take care of it well.
