Choosing the perfect jewellery goes beyond design. The type of material used must also match the personality and tastes of each person. In this case gold and its different variants also play a crucial role.
At PR Jewellers as experts in luxury jewellery, with a history of tradition and excellence in jewellery since 1931, we understand the importance of making a decision when selecting the material of which a piece of jewellery that will last a lifetime is made. So knowing how to choose between white gold, yellow gold and rose gold is crucial.
Each of these metals has its own unique characteristics and advantages, which influence both the aesthetics and the value of the jewellery. Below, we'll help you understand the differences between these three types of gold so you can make a choice that aligns with your tastes and needs.
White gold is an alloy of pure gold with white metals such as palladium, nickel or silver, which gives it its characteristic silvery colour. To enhance its lustre and durability, it is usually coated with rhodium, a precious metal that adds a luminous finish.
- Modern Elegance: White gold is very popular for its contemporary and sophisticated look, which blends perfectly with diamonds and other gemstones.
- Durability: Thanks to the added hardness of the white metals in the alloy, white gold is more resistant to scratches and dents than yellow gold.
- Versatility: Its neutral colour makes it ideal for any skin tone and goes well with different styles of clothing.
Yellow gold is the most traditional type of gold, formed from an alloy of pure gold with copper and zinc. It is known for its warm colour and characteristic lustre that has been valued for centuries.
- Classic and Timeless: Its warm, radiant colour is a symbol of luxury and tradition, making yellow gold jewellery a timeless choice.
- Easy Maintenance: Less prone to fading or tarnishing, yellow gold requires less maintenance than white or rose gold.
- Hypoallergenic: Yellow gold, especially in higher carats (18K or 22K), is less likely to cause allergic reactions, as it contains fewer added metals.
Rose gold is obtained by mixing pure gold with copper, which gives it its characteristic pink hue. This alloy has become increasingly popular in modern jewellery because of its romantic and distinctive tone.
- Romantic Aesthetics: Its soft, pinkish tone is perfect for those looking for jewellery with a touch of warmth and romance.
- Durability: Copper, being a hard metal, makes rose gold quite resistant and less prone to scratches.
- Jewellery Trend: Rose gold has gained popularity in recent years, making it a modern and trendy choice.
The choice between white gold, yellow gold and rose gold depends largely on your personal preferences and the type of jewellery you are looking for. If you prefer a modern and versatile look, white gold may be your best option. For a classic and timeless aesthetic, yellow gold is ideal. If you are looking for a romantic and trendy gift, rose gold will be the perfect choice.
