Guide to Gold

For centuries, precious metals have captivated artisans and admirers alike, and few possess the allure of gold. Known for its radiant luster, durability, and innate versatility, it has become a cornerstone in fine jewelry design. Our team at Goldsmith Gallery Jewelers celebrates this remarkable metal with a thoughtfully crafted guide to gold jewelry that is designed to explore its unmatched value and enduring appeal. With resistance to tarnish, warm natural tones, or its ability to be molded into intricate designs, gold continues to symbolize beauty and prosperity. Discover how this timeless metal transforms into exquisite jewelry meant to last forever.

What Gives Gold its Color?

Renowned for its natural, brilliant yellow hue, gold owes its color to the way it reflects light. Pure gold, or 24 karat, boasts a vibrant warmth that sets it apart from other metals. To create white gold, alloying with metals like nickel or palladium softens its yellow tones, producing a cooler, silvery appearance often enhanced with a rhodium plating. For rose gold, a mix of gold and copper creates a blush-toned finish, celebrated for its romantic, vintage charm. These variations not only showcase gold’s adaptability, but also allow for unique expressions of style, making it a favorite in fine jewelry design.
