Gold Colour

Yellow Gold

This is the most common type of gold used in jewellery is typically 9k, 14k , 18k or 22k. Because of the softness of pure (24k) gold, it is usually alloyed with base metals for use in jewellery, altering its hardness and ductility, melting point, colour and other properties. 22k, 18k, 14k, 10k or 9k carat gold contain percentages of copper, other base metals, or silver or palladium in the alloy.

Rose Gold

Rose Gold is carat gold containing high percentages of copper. It can be found in antique and Russian jewellery and has a distinct, copper cast, creating a rose or red colour. It is also known as pink gold and red gold.

Green Gold

Fourteen and eighteen carat gold alloys with silver alone appear greenish-yellow and are referred to as green gold.

White Gold

White gold alloys can be made by alloying gold with palladium or nickel. Alternative white gold alloys are available which are based on palladium, silver and other white metals, but the palladium alloys are more expensive than those using nickel. Higher carat white gold alloys are far more resistant to corrosion than are either pure silver or sterling silver.
