    Normaly 24k is very resistant to wear. Historical studies have shown
    that 24k wears better than anything else, that lower carats (like 18,
    14, 10K) abrade while 24k just gets mushed around. That means you
    can't keep a 24k surface intact but you can expect it to weigh well
    near what it started out at years later unlike most alloys. best
