Yellow Gold Metal Guide

Yellow Gold Metal Guide

Valuable and highly sought after, yellow gold is a popular and timeless choice for diamond engagement rings, wedding bands and eternity rings. Its warmth and rich appearance beautifully offsets contemporary and classic jewellery designs alike, and historically is synonymous with affluence and wealth. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements solid under standard conditions.

In its purest form, 24 carat gold has a bright yellow buttery colour and lustre traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidising in air or water. Due to its natural softer characteristics, 24k gold is not suitable for everyday jewellery. 18k yellow gold is crafted by combining 75% pure gold with 25% white alloys. This blend provides strength and a more muted creamier colour metal which can then be used in crafting jewellery.
