The origin and meaning behind the 24K pure gold 1st Birthday Baby Ring

A newborn's digestive organs are still developing, so in the five-elements tradition, gold (金), which controls wood (木), is given to support the lungs and large intestine and help digestion, wishing the baby good health.

That’s why there was a tradition of giving money for the first birthday and gold for the health as a gift for the baby’s very first birth date. Our unique tradition, beloved family and close friends wish the baby’s health by presenting your baby’s very first birth date ring as a collection of Rims Jewelry’s 1 Don 24k 1st Birthday Baby Ring with various designs.

Also, nowadays the trend is to give a golden spoon instead of the 1st Birthday Baby Ring. This also helps to maintain the popularity because it combines the tradition together. The golden spoon also has the meaning of being born in a wealthy household, so the trend is changing. Only a few selected precious children chosen like the golden spoon become a gift item replacing the 1st Birthday Baby Ring.
You can also purchase a golden spoon for the very 1st year of the baby's birthday as a gift at Rims Jewelry.

The reason why we call pure gold as “24k”

The unit of purity of gold is the carat, not the percentage we are used to.
This is called 24k pure gold. So, when we express pure gold, it is represented by 24K, and impurity gold is represented as 18K and 14K. There is no problem when we use gold units terms, but I wonder why you used the number 24? It is convenient to calculate the number 100, so why did you use 24?

Carat is said to originate in the carob, a kind of plant from the Middle East. Carob is a tree fruit belonging to the genus Serotonia, a pod weighing 1.25 grams, and people in the area exchanged gold or salt based on the amount of dried carob in one hand. That's why the standard is the weight of the carob pod usually held in an adult's hand. One adult's handful can grab up to 24 pods so this is where the term 24k came from. (99.99% highest purity also refers to pure gold 24k.) 18K is 18/24 purity, meaning that 75% is gold and the other 25% contains other metals such as silver or copper. You can say that 14K contains 58.5% gold.

Representing 24k as pure gold means permanent discomfort

Ordinary metals deprive electrons in their natural state and are easily rusted, but gold is highly stable because electrons are filled in the outermost electron shell of the atom, making it difficult to lose electrons. Since there is no change in the material. It also means that gold is not permanently corroded. Gold with an atomic number of 79 has a cation but can also be converted to an anion. This is why gold artifacts from ancient tombs are excavated in their original form over time.

Yellow in the gold means nobility in the light

The gold symbol Au comes from the Hebrew word aus, which means light, and the English gold, also derived from the Sanskrit word jvolita, means gold as light.
