What type of gold is used for inlays?

  1. Type 1

  2. Type 2

  3. Type 3

  4. Type 4

The correct answer is: Type 1

Inlays are a decorative technique where pieces of a different material are set into the surface of an object. Type 1 gold, also known as hard gold, is commonly used for inlays because of its durability and resistance to wear. Type 2 gold is less durable and more likely to fade over time, making it a less suitable choice for inlays. Type 3 and Type 4 gold are not commonly used for inlays as they are often used for plating or electroplating processes rather than for decorative purposes. Therefore, Type 1 gold is the most appropriate option for inlays.
