Gold is one of the most rare precious metals, especially because it is resistant to corrosion, has a beautiful shine that makes it suitable for jewelry, and the total amount mined is small. The total amount of gold excavated on Earth to date is about 183,000 tons (a small amount, about the equivalent of about 3.8 official Olympic swimming pools), and the remaining gold reserves are said to be about 53,000 tons. Despite the small total amount, it has a wide range of uses, making it a valuable resource that will soon be depleted. Gold also has a long history as a type of jewelry dating back to before Christ, as seen in ancient Egypt. Over the course of its history, its credibility has built up, which has led to rising exchange rates and the value of gold continuing to rise to this day. In addition, gold has high liquidity around the world, and unlike other investment products, its value will not collapse if you keep it on hand, so it also has value as an asset.

* "K" stands for carat, which is the purity of gold expressed as a weight ratio of 24 parts. The closer the number is to 24, the higher the purity of the gold. (K24 is almost pure gold with a purity of 99.99%). The higher the purity, the more valuable the gold is, but the higher the purity, the softer it is and the more easily it is scratched, so it is not suitable for jewelry processing. By mixing it with other metals (alloys) to make an 18K or 14K alloy, it becomes durable enough for practical use. Usually, "alloys" contain silver or copper, but in the case of colored gold, they may also contain palladium, platinum, nickel, iron, aluminum, etc.
