The “Brazilian Gold” terminology refers to gold layered jewelry; it indicates its specific form and composition more than its country of origin. This type of gold is formed by permanently bonding gold and a metal alloy, resulting in a solid 18k gold layer on the outside and metal (alloy) on the inside. The process requires high tech equipment to create this bond at carefully set temperature and pressure.
Brazilian gold is just as solid as gold, indestructible, everlasting and does not rust, decay, or change color, making it the perfect option for those who want to flaunt their jewelry at one fifth of the full 18k gold price.
Brazilian gold is rapidly gaining popularity since it offers the same external characteristics at a fraction of the price and is usually referred to as the gold of the future.
Investing in Brazilian gold may not be the best form of investment in gold but remains a valid option, specifically since one can definitely wear Brazilian gold jewelry but never a gold bullion.
