Vickers Hardness Scale
The Vickers hardness scale is typically used to measure the hardness of materials, including metals. However, it's not commonly used for gemstones like diamond and moissanite, which are typically measured on the Mohs scale. Here's an approximation of the Vickers hardness for the metal types:
- Diamond: Vickers hardness typically around 8000-10000 HV
- Moissanite: Vickers hardness typically around 2200-2400 HV
- Platinum PT950: Vickers hardness typically around 40-50 HV
- 14K White Gold: Vickers hardness typically around 120-180 HV
- 14K Yellow Gold: Vickers hardness typically around 120-180 HV
- 14K Rose Gold: Vickers hardness typically around 120-180 HV
- 18K White Gold: Vickers hardness typically around 120-180 HV
- 18K Yellow Gold: Vickers hardness typically around 120-180 HV
- 18K Rose Gold: Vickers hardness typically around 120-180 HV
It's worth noting that while hardness is an indicator of a metal's resistance to scratching, it doesn't necessarily equate to its toughness or resistance to breakage. For example, while some metals might be soft and scratch easily, they could be very malleable and less likely to break or crack compared to harder metals.
For those investing in jewelry, considering both the hardness and overall durability of the chosen metal is crucial, especially for pieces expected to experience daily wear, like wedding bands or engagement rings.
