Gold is a versatile metal. It can be mixed with other metals to create different colors and properties. The most common and preffered types of gold used in jewelry nowadays are mainly yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold.
- Yellow Gold:
Yellow Gold is typically made of pure gold mixed with metals like copper and zinc. Yellow gold is generally differentiated into 18k, 22k, and 24k.
18k gold is 75% pure gold with 18 parts of gold and 6 parts other metals like copper, silver, or zinc. 18k gold is more durable than both 22K and 24K due to the higher proportion of alloy metals.
22k gold is 91.67% pure gold with 22 parts gold and 2 parts other metals like copper or silver to enhance durability. It’s more durable than 24K but still softer than lower-karat golds.
24k gold is 99.9% pure gold, often known as “pure gold.” Containing no other metals; it is entirely gold generally 24k gold is Soft and malleable, making it prone to scratches and dents. 24k gold is generally used in gold bars, coins, and in some electronic applications, not commonly used for jewelry due to its softness.
White Gold:
White gold is a composition of gold mixed with metals like nickel, palladium, or silver. Often plated with rhodium to enhance the whiteness.
It gives a sleek and modern look to the jewelry. It’s more durable than yellow gold due to the hardness of the alloy metals.
Rose Gold
Rose Gold is made from a combination of copper as the amount of copper determines the rose shade. It gives a warm and romantic tone complementing many skin tones. Considered the most durable of the three types of gold due to the strength of copper.
