Gold Jewelry Comes in Different Colors

There are so many different types of gold jewelry and our last post went over gold purity, gold plating and overlays. As you choose gold jewelry you want to sell, knowledge about different types of gold is invaluable.

Gold also comes in quite a few different colors. The color of gold that is the most well known and the one you see more of than anything else is yellow gold. Other colors of gold that are popular are white gold and rose gold. Many people are not aware of this, but it is also possible to obtain gold in colors like bronze gold, red gold and lime gold as well.

The different colors of gold are not made the same way, but they do not have to stand alone. Jewelers can make gold pieces that combine more than one color of gold. When different colors of gold are combined, the end result is described as two-tone, three-tone, tri-colored or multi-colored gold.

Although they do not have the same hue, the same methods and units of measurement are used to label the gold content of the various colors of gold. Therefore, a piece of rose gold jewelry that is labeled as 18 karat gold will have the same amount of pure gold as a piece of yellow gold jewelry that is 18 karate gold.

The metals used in the alloy mix are what give these different types of gold their distinctive colors.

When copper and zinc are used as alloy metals with pure gold, yellow gold is formed.

Copper alloys are also used to make rose gold, although the mix is such that the gold has a reddish tint to it. The combination of pure gold with white metals like palladium and silver are what make white gold.

There was a time when nickel was included in the alloy mix of white gold, and depending on the age of your white gold jewelry, it may contain nickel. The use of nickel was discontinued because it causes an allergic reaction in a number of people.

All of this is good to know so when you prepare to sell your gold, you will know more about what it contains. Check this blog to read more about the value of different types of gold.
