It costs more than ours and the quality is no.
you don’t even have to think about it (checked), but look at the handmade silver ...

I have a gold pendant "Cleopatra", I have been wearing it for several years without taking it off. The quality is excellent, it was inexpensive. The only thing is that it differs in shade from our gold.

Gold is better to buy in Europe :-) In Egypt, not gold, but a cocktail.

This is not gold. Our workshops and the jewelry factory do not even take it for scrap.

GOLD there is "not serious", you can buy yourself some kind of "nonsense" for 10-50 dollars to please the eye, like a memory of a vacation in EGYPT

gold, nadin_20, you have to buy in Yekaterinburg))))) in general, it, LIKE SILVER, is useless in Egypt, don’t even expect to find something worthwhile ... everything that is sold for tourists is of poor quality, even if it looks nice and original, so (I support LANGIS), if you don’t feel sorry for a couple of tens of dollars, then you can buy some kind of nonsense as a souvenir (just don’t cry if it suddenly breaks). but on THEIR aunts I saw sooo even decent things (I didn’t ask “where did I get it”)))))

And now the truth about Egyptian gold.
There are two types of gold. Sample 750. Above ours (our 585). This means that in a kilogram of their gold there are 750 grams of gold and 250 grams of brass, and in ours there are 585 grams of gold and 415 copper. It is copper that gives our gold its reddish tint. By this shade, ours are defined all over the world. Red gold is no longer worn anywhere, yellow everywhere. Our factories do not take it for scrap, too, for this very reason - the different content of additional metal. Gold itself is very soft and not practical, which is why these metals are added. Brass almost does not change the natural color of gold, copper makes it red.
So by the looks. All gold is yellow, but:
First view. Made in Egypt. Like everything in Egypt, it is made somehow, with a hammer and an ax, it does not look good. The quality of the gold is good, but it doesn't look like it. Therefore, when buying, they always say: different work - different price. The price of such gold is about 22 dollars. per gram.
Second.
Made mainly in Italy. The color is the same, the sample is also, but by the look it is immediately clear that the work is of high quality, everything is beautiful, the products are just excellent. The price is not less than 30 dollars. per gram. It is well quoted abroad, but not with us (we are backward). I've been wearing it for a long time, like new.

Amir, everyone has known about the color of gold for a long time, thanks :))) And about copper, and about brass, and about the fact that gold can even be green. The Kyiv jewelry factory makes products from red, yellow and white gold, and 585 assay, and 750 too. They don’t take Egyptian jewelry for scrap because it’s not gold, but costume jewelry with a meager content of gold itself. "Italian" Egyptian gold is quoted just the same with us - all our shops are full of these "nefertites". Europeans buy it precisely as jewelry for a souvenir.
If you want really good products from guaranteed quality raw materials - welcome to Switzerland!

Pachok made of Italian gold, no Nifertiti type items. In general, there are no items made of this gold on the Egyptian theme.

I refrained from buying gold in Egypt, but I bought a silver cartouche as a souvenir - it turned black in the first week, as they say - draw your own conclusions.

Pachok I'm not interested in cons, but in the opinion of this person. He put minuses to everyone: both those who are for, and those who are against. I wonder what he thinks about this. And the cons don't count anymore. Rating is no longer counted by points.

about the cons - someone doesn’t give a damn (sorry for my Russian)))) Amir1, in essence, the girl asked where to buy and what quality, most of the respondents advised her not to buy gold, except perhaps as a souvenir, because. it is almost impossible to buy really GOLD in public tourist shops IMHO. Speaking of good quality gold, can you recommend specific stores where she can be sure she can get it? For the sake of interest, I personally climbed all over Hurghada, found only one shop where gold looked like gold (and not our "backward"). The average price is about $40. per gram. BUT, when we started to get a beautiful ring with supposedly a diamond in there ... I don’t know much about diamonds, but what was there was clearly not him ... accordingly, there was doubt that the setting was really gold

LyolyaS no, I can’t advise, or rather I don’t want to. Their assortment often changes, especially since Italian is really hard to find. But it is immediately visible, even by the engraving of the sample. And yes, it looks very different. They probably gave you exactly that, that for 40 dollars, they wanted to cheat only with a diamond. He probably wasn't there. Just a good quality ring.

But I'm sure about the quality. It was just a case. My wife was robbed of jewelry bought in Egypt. The thief was found, jewelry too. But, according to some rules, before they were given to us, they made an examination of this "metal". The examination confirmed the authenticity and quality of this gold. By the way, before that I also doubted, but after that I have no doubt. But not local production. I don't recommend buying it.

gold, indeed, gave the impression of real and high quality. and most of the products in that store were like that. I doubted it because of the "diamond". about "hard to find" - I came across only in one store. in most others it was either made with an ax or had little resemblance to gold. and a very beautiful "original" silver bracelet bought by a friend broke in two days (moreover, the money could not be returned, I had to exchange it for all sorts of nonsense) ... a little deviating from the topic, I ordered a magnificent yellow + white gold ring in Turkey with diamonds, but also clearly not of local production

"" "ours, not really high-quality gold " ""
Amir, fear God !! :))) Our factory things at least meet their standards, and the stones are really worth it, not bottle glass. If you want an exclusive - there are "Zarina " and "Sofia Gate " with international awards and a truly unique design.

Pachok costume jewelry can also be beautiful. But the quality of gold is determined by its capacity in the product and work. Some of our craftsmen have not bad discounts, I agree, but copper remains copper and the fact that almost half of it is there speaks for itself. Answer me one question: why, if you see a person in any country of the world wearing red gold, then he is definitely from the CIS? Parallel question: why doesn't anyone else wear it?

Amir1, why did you get the idea that all our gold is red????? ! I have no red gold items at all, and most of them are locally made. Yellow and white. Good stones. Good design.
Baltic gold "Centrumiks" is also good and inexpensive.
By the way, even in red gold 585 not half of copper, but half of the ligature - a mixture of copper and silver. And our white gold is made of high quality - they add nickel with silver or more silver, and do not radiate the usual color.

Pachok what is the conclusion? Very simple. My wife and I wanted to order engagement rings for myself and her, we recently signed. He said that I would pay any money, the main thing is that they be of our uniform, 750 samples and yellow. Not a single jewelry store undertook to fulfill the order. It's about something. Let me remind you that we do not live in Kyiv. Maybe there it is possible, but Ukraine is not only Kyiv, and I judge in general. By the way, my friends from Donetsk, Ternopil, Poltava also said that no one undertook to fulfill such an order. At that time, I didn’t have good friends in Kyiv yet. Now there is, but there is no longer a need for this order.

My husband and I got married 10 years ago, we didn’t like shop rings. We went to the Kyiv Jewelry Factory, asked to make an individual order - a combination of yellow and white gold, women's with small diamonds - they did it cool and on time. And, by the way, it is not clear - Egypt is closer than Kyiv? :)))
And the fact that they sell mostly red gold in the regions means that people there WANT to BUY red gold. By the way, the same "Zarina" is a Cherkasy enterprise, most of their products are white and simply of great design.
