As we all know color of gold in natural form is yellow, bright yellow color specially 24K naturally found in mother earth.

Recently I feel over period of 20 years more and more people are wanting different colors of metal to wear.

Platinum was heavily advertised in early 2000’s but it being an expensive metal and heavy metal to wear, we jewelers started looking for alternative to platinum which could be cheaper and lighter to wear.

First, we tried silver but it was too light and very inexpensive and oxidizes faster, so we started experimenting with gold itself, with help of Alloys we started mixing it pure gold and come up with different gold colors in different purity form and that is how gold of different colors were born with time.

White Gold

So when we mix higher content of silver and platinum or even palladium making it an alloy and mix that with gold we land up making white gold.

White gold in 18k has a higher tinge of yellow compare to 14k and 10k. White Gold is most popular today specially in western styles jewelry like engagement rings, eternity bands, wedding bands etc.

I would say if 100 jewelry pcs are made today in diamonds for wedding or engagement purpose 85 of them would be made in white gold, for many people who don’t want to spend money on platinum have started buying white gold.

White gold as it not very even in color after the jewelry pc is completely ready we rhodium the whole pcs to give it lots of shine and polished effect giving it bright white gold effect.

Yellow Gold

Truly the actual gold color, 24K gold is too soft and cannot be made in to jewelry for making expensive engagement rings, wedding bands etc as if the gold is soft it will not hold the stones so we mix it with allow and if we want to maintain the color of yellow we make an alloy of copper, zinc and silver too.

Yellow metal is yet very popular especially when one wore it with gemstones, ruby, sapphires and emeralds looks so much better in yellow gold.

Recently I have seen that yellow gold is getting to be more and more popular it is long way from it very popular years long time ago, but we are going on making more of them now days.

Rose Gold

This color gold is formed when the content of copper is used maximum to give it a pink or rose gold color, they tend to make metal very brittle and harder to work, they looks best gemstones like ruby, red garnets, pink sapphires, with time this metal color is also getting to be more and more popular.

Out of the three top color of metal white is most popular than comes yellow gold and last is rose gold.

We can have all the three colors of metal in any purity like 18K,14K,10K or even 9K mostly used in Europe.
