Pure gold is naturally yellow.<\/p>\n
White and rose gold are not different elements. They are gold alloys in which other metals are added to pure gold.<\/p>\n
These metals influence the colour, hardness and other properties of the final material.<\/p>\n
This is why gold jewellery can be created in different colours, even though all versions still contain a specific percentage of pure gold.<\/p>\n
The purity mark tells us how much pure gold is present in the alloy.<\/p>\n
585 gold contains 58.5% pure gold.<\/strong><\/p>\n This corresponds to approximately 14 karats.<\/p>\n 750 gold contains 75% pure gold.<\/strong><\/p>\n This corresponds to 18 karats.<\/p>\n The remaining percentage consists of other metals, which influence the properties and colour of the alloy.<\/p>\n For this reason, two gold alloys can have the same purity while still having different colours.<\/p>\n Yellow gold is the most traditional form of gold jewellery.<\/p>\n Its colour most closely resembles the natural colour of pure gold.<\/p>\n Other metals are added to create a practical jewellery alloy while maintaining the characteristic warm yellow colour.<\/p>\n Yellow gold is popular for:<\/p>\n One advantage of yellow gold is that the colour is not simply a surface coating.<\/p>\n If the surface becomes scratched, the material beneath remains yellow.<\/p>\n White gold is created by adding metals that reduce the strong yellow colour of pure gold.<\/p>\n White gold itself is usually not completely bright white.<\/p>\n It often has a slightly greyish or warm tone.<\/p>\n For this reason, white gold jewellery is often rhodium plated. Rhodium creates a bright white and highly reflective surface.<\/p>\n White gold is particularly popular for engagement rings and diamond jewellery because the colour of the metal works beautifully with colourless diamonds.<\/p>\n People often say that white gold \u201cturns yellow\u201d.<\/p>\n A more accurate explanation is that the outer rhodium layer can gradually wear away with use, allowing the natural colour of the white-gold alloy underneath to become visible.<\/p>\n This does not mean that anything is wrong with the gold.<\/p>\n A jeweller can repolish the ring and, when necessary, apply a new rhodium coating.<\/p>\n How quickly the surface changes depends on how the jewellery is worn.<\/p>\n Rose gold gets its characteristic colour mainly from a higher proportion of copper in the alloy.<\/p>\n More copper usually results in a stronger red or pink tone.<\/p>\n The colour can range from very subtle to quite pronounced depending on the exact composition of the alloy.<\/p>\n Rose gold is popular for:<\/p>\n It also combines beautifully with white gold and diamonds.<\/p>\n No.<\/p>\n Colour itself does not determine the quality of gold.<\/p>\n White, yellow and rose gold can all have the same purity, such as 585 or 750.<\/p>\n What differs is mainly the combination of metals added to the pure gold.<\/p>\n Because of this, the alloys can also have slightly different physical properties, but for the customer, colour alone is not an indicator of quality when the jewellery is properly made.<\/p>\n The choice largely depends on personal taste.<\/p>\n White gold is particularly popular for classic diamond engagement rings because the pale colour of the metal complements the diamond.<\/p>\n Yellow gold creates greater contrast and gives the ring a more traditional appearance.<\/p>\n Rose gold offers a warmer and somewhat less conventional look.<\/p>\n Combining different gold colours is also possible.<\/p>\n For example, the ring itself can be made in yellow gold while the diamond setting is made from white gold.<\/p>\n Again, there is no single correct answer.<\/p>\n What matters most is what you like and what type of jewellery you normally wear.<\/p>\n If you usually wear jewellery with a white-metal appearance, white gold may be the most natural choice.<\/p>\n If you prefer classic jewellery, yellow gold is a timeless option.<\/p>\n Rose gold is a good choice for someone looking for a warmer and slightly more distinctive appearance.<\/p>\n Absolutely.<\/p>\n Combining two or three colours of gold offers a great deal of design freedom.<\/p>\n A single ring can combine yellow and white gold, or white and rose gold.<\/p>\n With wedding rings, each partner can even choose a different colour while connecting the two rings through the same profile or shared design detail.<\/p>\n Is white gold real gold?<\/strong> Why is white gold rhodium plated?<\/strong> Is rose gold less valuable?<\/strong> Can white and yellow gold be combined?<\/strong> The best gold colour is the one you like and the one that suits the way you intend to wear the jewellery.<\/p>\n At Zlatarski atelje Menge\u0161, you can see different gold colours and combinations in person and choose the material that best suits your piece of jewellery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" White, Yellow or Rose Gold?

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n
\nYes. White gold contains real gold combined with other metals to create a lighter-coloured alloy.<\/p>\n
\nRhodium creates a very bright white and shiny surface.<\/p>\n
\nIf two pieces have the same weight and gold purity, the colour itself does not mean that one contains less gold.<\/p>\n
\nYes. Two-tone jewellery is very common and allows for many interesting design possibilities.<\/p>\nWhich Gold Should You Choose?<\/h2>\n
