Gold isn't just yellow...
Gold is not just
about being yellow…
A dash of silver, a touch of copper, a hint of palladium — from the most precious metal on Earth, an infinite world of color unfolds.
When you hear the word "gold," most of you probably imagine that brilliant golden hue. But in reality, pure gold (24K) is rarely used in jewelry — it is simply too soft. It is the alloys created through unique blending that produce the diverse luster we love.
Gold Alloys — The Art of Mixing
Gold used in jewelry is always an alloy. This means it is made by combining it with other metals such as silver, copper, palladium, zinc, and nickel. The type and ratio of the metals mixed together determine the jewelry's color, hardness, and the emotions it evokes.
That is precisely why even within 18K gold, pieces with completely different "expressions" can be born.
A Story for Every Luster
The standard gold closest to the color of pure gold. Balanced with silver and copper, it combines a warm, classic luster with timeless elegance.
Alloyed with palladium or nickel, sometimes finished with rhodium plating. It offers a modern, sophisticated impression and enhances the brilliance of gemstones.
A romantic pink tone created by increasing the proportion of copper. It brings out a softness and femininity, and is currently one of the most popular jewelry trends.
A striking reddish hue born from a very high copper content and no silver. Rare, yet radiating a unique strength and individuality.
A mysterious yellowish-green hue created by using more silver and less copper. Also known as "electrum," it is a historical material used in the ornaments of ancient Egyptian royalty.
