Ternary alloy map
Gold Alloy Pyramid
Preset slices
Karat bands
Curved karat guides show distance from the pure-gold corner. The faint straight chord is the exact ternary constant-gold slice. Densities are ideal estimates from weight percentage and pure-metal densities. Real jewellery alloys can include zinc, platinum-group metals, deoxidizers, and surface rhodium plating, so this map is a composition guide rather than a recipe standard.
