The Element
The global standard for gold is one of dilution. Jewelry and coinage are typically forged in 14 or 18 karats—metals defined by what they lack, mixed with base alloys to achieve a structural rigidity the element does not naturally possess.
At Custom24k, we consider these additions a compromise of the material’s integrity. We work exclusively in .999 fine gold, the highest level of purity achievable. By stripping away the additives, we return to the material’s most honest state: an investment-grade substance that carries its own inherent authority. When you hold a piece from our studio, you are not holding a decorative alloy; you are holding the element itself—dense, remarkably heavy, and chemically pure.
The Purity
This purity ensures a state of elemental permanence. Because .999 gold is chemically inert, it exists outside the cycle of decay; it does not tarnish, oxidize, or react to the passage of time. While the form we give the gold—a 3D sculpture, a custom-struck coin, or a hand-finished pendant—is a result of modern vision, the medium remains eternal. Every ounce of gold ever mined still exists today, and our commissions are designed to join that lineage of immortality. We do not create objects that merely represent value; we create objects that are the value, verified by their atomic signature and defined by their undeniable weight.
