Title 16— COMMERCIAL PRACTICES Chapter I— Federal Trade Commission PART 15— ADMINISTRATIVE OPINIONS AND RULINGS “Solid” and “Karat” Used Together in Describing Articles Composed of Gold § 15.129 “Solid” and “karat” used to gether in describing articles com posed o f gold.
The Commission advised an associa tion that the word “solid” could be used in conjunction with the karat indication of gold of 10 or more karats in fineness. For example, it would be proper to use the expression “14 karat solid gold” or “solid 14 karat gold” to describe art ar ticle which was both in fact solid and in fact made of gold 14 karat in fineness. The use of such descriptions, or appro priate abbreviations therefor, provided both factors in the description were given adequate prominence, would be unob jectionable.
