It is estimated that the total demand of gold in jewellery is close to 50 billion USD. Like any other metal, gold is also found in underground mines. he mining of gold is pretty costly as less than 10 grams of gold is received after extracting one ton of ore. After the extraction the the metal is refined and partly purified on the site. This metal is than melted into gold bars, which are sent for detailed refining to reach a sellable form. The refiners make mostly bullion bars or blank jewellery. Blank jewels are mass produced forms of jewels, that will be further worked on by the jeweller.
