the gold is alloyed with copper. it is very appealing but to western eyes appears to be simply the wrong color. thus the demand is low and those who appreciate the warmer tone of Turkish gold generally have bought it overseas. It also does not wear as well as gold that has been alloyed with a touch of silver, or even tin.

Turkish Gold is "better". That's like saying a pound of dirt is heavier than 16oz of rock.

because turkish gold has no hallmarks,therefore has not been assayed,no way of knowing purity.
