After you’ve worked out a basic design for an engagement ring, an important question will come up. What colour gold do I use?
The three most common colours of gold are as follows:
Yellow gold: The traditional look of gold, in a tone that is instantly recognisable to all across the globe, a lustrous yellow colour that is warm and luxurious, alloyed with silver and copper.
White gold: Originally developed in the 19th century with patents in Europe & the USA in the early 20th century, each using different alloying materials (palladium, platinum, nickel, silver etc) to achieve a soft white colour that is reminiscent of Platinum but not as expensive (at the time), most white gold alloys require rhodium plating for achieving that bright platinum look.
Rose gold: In a variety of intensities depending on the amount of copper used, can be a bright rec to a soft almost pink hue, more modern alloys have some noble metal added to give the rose gold a greater resistance to copper leeching over time.
A sample image of the 3 most common colours of gold is in the image below:
This is a bangle made from 18ct yellow, white & rose gold. As you can see, there’s a great variety of colour that can be achieved by just changing the 25% of the alloy that is not gold.
