Surely you have seen in a lot of movies or series the typical "gold nuggets" that miners look for in the interior of the mountains or in the rivers that erode those same mountains.

Surely you are familiar with the "18K gold" (or 18-karat or 18 carat), but... and what is a K, karat or carat? Is a carat a kilo as they say in Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Bolivia and some other countries in Latin America? Is a carat a kilo of gold and is it said that because it weighs much more than a kilo of silver or any other metal? Putting the one and the other together, that's why it is said "who has a friend, has a carat"?

Looking for an accented name necklace? You are in the right place! At The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory I don't work in series and my name necklaces are truly personalized. Done one by one. If you can write it on the computer (or on a piece of paper and send me the photo), I can turn it into sterling silver or 18K gold. That's why I get a lot of requests for accent necklaces.
