What is 18k gold (750 gold)?

The gold used in jewelry is called «750 thousandths» (which corresponds to 18k gold) because this metal is actually composed of 75% pure gold, and 25% of other precious metals, which are used to give it a specific color, and strength. Indeed, pure gold as found in its natural state is too malleable to be used as such. It is therefore combined with silver, copper or palladium to be worked into jewelry that will not warp when worn.

18k white gold (750 white gold)

White gold, before it is treated, is also called «grey gold». Indeed, it is the last step of preparation of the jewel that will give it its beautiful bright color! This last step, rhodium plating, consists of depositing a very thin layer of rhodium (an extremely rare and precious metal) on the entire jewel, so as to cover it. This operation should be renewed regularly, every two or three years, so that your jewel never loses its beauty and remains radiant as on the first day!

18k yellow gold (750 yellow gold)

With its sunny aura, yellow gold has been used for thousands of years to make jewelry, especially wedding rings.

Highly resistant to corrosion, stainless and unalterable, a piece of yellow gold Jewelry naturally reveals its beautiful golden color when it is simply polished, without any additional treatment. It will thus retain its beautiful hue over time, without developing a patina.

18k rose gold (750 rose gold)

To obtain rose gold, the alloy of which it is composed is endowed with a larger share of copper. It is from this metal that the soft roseish hues that rose gold is known for come from. From one Maison to another, the shade of rose can vary from very weak to more pronounced, depending on the amount of copper in the alloy. Each brand therefore offers rose gold Jewelry in slightly different colors! Less cold than white gold, and less classic than yellow gold, rose gold is a good compromise if you are looking for a modern and precious wedding ring. Today, rose gold is one of the most used metals in jewelry, and is increasingly favored by jewelers.

How to know that a piece of jewelry is made of 18k gold (750 gold)
