Pure gold alone is not suitable for making jewelry. It is fused with alloyed metals to create precious jewelry for women and men. The selection of gold jewelry is huge, for example there are rings, chains, bracelets or piercing jewelry.
Classification of the category of gold jewelry
Gold jewelry is available in different versions for women and men. Although it has gone out of fashion in recent years and silver jewelry has become trendier, gold jewelry is a timeless classic and still very popular.
Composition and Alloys
However, pure gold alone is not suitable for the production of gold jewelry. This always consists of metal alloys, which also consist of a certain amount of gold as well as silver and copper. The higher the gold content in the alloy, the higher the quality of the jewelry. However, this percentage may vary depending on the manufacturer. A distinction is also made between red, yellow, green, white and gray gold alloys.
For example, while rose gold refers to a gold alloy that has a high copper content and therefore looks copper-colored in terms of hue, yellow gold is a yellowish alloy that looks very much like fine gold and is therefore the most popular gold color around the world.
