Facts on Understanding Jewelry Colors

Published on: 22/11/2019 by Royi Sal Jewelry Team - 3 Comments

Gold-Kit-Kat
In the world of fakes and replicas, how can an everyday person understand the difference between tens of different jewelry metals and alloys? Like this limited edition gold-wrapped Kitkat bar, which is nothing more than a regular KitKat bar inside, different jewelry alloys can make a big difference to the result. Here are Facts on Understanding Jewelry Colors

Learning about the differences between yellow vs. rose vs. silver jewelry is an excellent way to reduce your options when deciding which metal to choose for your next jewelry purchase.

There are so many options that can make it confusing and a little overwhelming. So let us make it simple by discussing the basics behind alloys to help make a well-informed decision.

Pulling Back the Curtain of Jewelry Alloys

24 karat gold is 100% pure gold, which is a vibrant, yellow color and similar to pure silver, which at 99.9% purity is much softer than sterling silver.

Both metals are far too soft to hold up to the everyday wear of a jewelry craft. So how do we make jewelry that we can wear? Mixing different metals with pure gold or silver will create alloys and build a stronger variation of it.

Combining different ratios of metals Karats of gold manufactured.

  1. Containing 58% pure gold, 14k gold is incredibly durable,
  2. 18k gold is also strong but quite not as durable since it contains 75% pure gold.
  3. It makes it a more vibrant yellow color and the more precious (and expensive) option. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of one or more other metals.

Copper is the most prevalent metal added to silver in creating a sterling alloy. The purpose of the alloy is to harden and strengthen the silver

Yellow Gold

Facts on Understanding Jewelry Colors

Almost all gold starts as pure yellow gold. When it came to white gold and rose gold, the metals usually alloyed, which gives all of them their color.

In the particular case of yellow gold, the mix is equal to silver and copper, with a small amount of zinc. Yellow gold looks great on anyone but is particularly beautiful when contrasted with olive and darker skin tones. It seems less impressive on pale to rose skin tones. Sterling silver or rose gold might become a better option for someone with fair skin.

Some other factors to keep in mind when comparing yellow gold with rose gold and sterling silver are the fact that yellow gold can be easily scratched and dented, particularly high-karat yellow gold. It requires to be cleaned and polished regularly.

Rose Gold

Facts on Understanding Jewelry Colors
Rose gold alloyed with silver, copper, and zinc like yellow gold. Nevertheless, the ratio is typically shifted to incorporate less silver and more copper, resulting in a warmer hue.

In all types of settings rose gold works well and can combine with sterling silver or yellow gold. It will create a unique multi-colored environment that appeals to the wearer’s artistic side. For people with cooler skin tones as well as or those with warm skin tones, rose gold is a fantastic choice.

The rose color stands out lovely on pale skin. Even so, it may not look like beautiful yellow gold does against darker skin tones. If your complexion changes seasonally, rose gold might be a new great choice.

Sterling Gold

Facts on Understanding Jewelry Colors
Sterling silver is one of the world’s most popular precious metals, and it is considered to be timeless. You can keep silver jewelry forever and have to get new pieces each season as colors and styles change.

Additionally, sterling silver jewelry is hardy and robust, while still delicate enough to display the intricate knots. Though not as strong as stainless steel, sterling silver hue and shine give the air of expense while keeping to a reasonable price.

It also makes a perfect gift. Whereas you may hesitate to give even quality costume jewelry as a gift in case it looks “cheap,” you can always be sure that the recipient will appreciate a piece in sterling silver. It is often less expensive than the higher end costume jewelry, yet it has a higher perceived value.
