In a world where luxury is often imitated but rarely matched, a real 24-karat gold card stands alone. It’s not just a business tool—it’s a statement of wealth, exclusivity, and timeless value. Whether used for elite membership, personal branding, or legacy gifting, solid gold cards offer unmatched impact.
What Is a Real 24-Karat Gold Card?
Unlike gold-plated or imitation cards, a real 24-karat gold card is made from solid gold. These cards are:
- Heavier and more substantial than any other material
- Resistant to corrosion and tarnish
- Crafted with precision and artistry
- Delivered in our premium wood presentation case packaging
Our cards are available in two card thicknesses of 0.5mm (0.02”) or 0.8mm (0.03”) which is the same thickness as a credit card.
The weight of your gold card with a card thickness of 0.5mm is shown below:
- 24kt – 44.5 grams/0.097 lbs
- 22kt – 65.1 grams/0.144 lbs
- 18kt – 39.3 grams/0.087 lbs
- 14kt – 31.1 grams/0.069 lbs
- 9kt – 26.5 grams/0.058 lbs
For a card thickness of 0.8mm weights are shown below:
- 24kt – 71.3 grams/0.157 lbs
- 22kt – 65.0 grams/0.143 lbs
- 18kt – 56.6 grams/0.125 lbs
- 14kt – 49.9 grams/0.110 lbs
- 9kt – 42.4 grams/0.093 lbs
The weight may vary due to the effects of engraving the design detailing to the card.
We can also provide platinum and palladium precious metal cards.
They’re not just rare—they’re irreplaceable.
Please note:- For each card we use the current gold price to provide a quotation for each gold card order. Please check for the latest pricing before you place a card order.
We can also provide a certificate of authenticity.
