Gold jewelry

Whether you choose a piece in yellow gold, white gold or rose gold, gold jewellery is a safe bet. At Lepage, all the creations we offer for sale, whether they are Lepage creations or creations from the most beautiful Maison jewellers, are made of 18k gold (750 gold), the finest quality of gold you can find. In order to limit our ecological footprint as much as possible, at Lepage we use recycled 18k gold (750 gold) to make our jewellery. Some of this gold is bought back directly from our customers, before being melted down for reuse. We thus give a second life to your old jewellery, while preserving the planet's resources.

18k gold (750 gold), what is it?

The gold used in jewellery is called "18k gold (750 gold)" because it is actually composed of 75% pure gold, and 25% of other precious metals, which are used to give it a specific colour, and strength. Indeed, pure gold is too soft and malleable to be used as such, so it is combined with silver, copper or palladium to be worked and give life to jewellery that will not deform when worn.

White gold

White gold, before it is processed, is also called "white gold". Indeed, it is the last step in the preparation of the jewel that will give it its beautiful bright colour! 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 repeated regularly, every two or three years, so that your jewel never loses its beauty and remains as radiant as on the first day! A white gold jewel is a timeless and timeless piece, which will be easy to wear whatever the occasion.

Yellow gold

With its sunny aura, yellow gold has been used for thousands of years to make jewellery, especially wedding and engagement rings. Radiant, it magnificently enhances the stone that comes to adorn it, whether it is a brilliant diamond or an intensely coloured gemstone.

Rose gold

To obtain 18k rose gold (750 gold), the alloy of which it is made has a larger proportion of copper. It is from this metal that the soft pinkish hues known to rose gold come. From one Maison to another, the shade of pink can vary from very light to more pronounced, depending on the amount of copper in the alloy. Each brand therefore offers rose gold jewellery in slightly different colours! Less cold than white gold, and less classic than yellow gold, rose gold is a good compromise if you are looking for a jewel that is both modern and precious.

How to identify 18k gold (750 gold) jewellery

In order to know the quality of the gold in which your jewel is made, you can check the hallmarks that have been struck on the piece. The first type of hallmark is the so-called guarantee hallmark, or title hallmark. The Eagle's head hallmark guarantees a 750 thousandths gold grade (previously called « 18k »), while the hallmark representing a scallop identifies 585 thousandths gold jewellery (which formerly corresponded to the denomination "13k"), and the trefoil-shaped hallmark concerns 375 thousandths gold jewellery (or previously "9k"). These official authentication hallmarks are accompanied by the master hallmark, which is that of the jeweller who made the piece, attesting to the provenance and quality of the jewellery.

Gold jewellery, a safe bet

Used for thousands of years across many, many cultures and civilisations, gold is a favourite material for making jewellery, ceremonial objects, fashion accessories and decoration. A precious metal of great rarity, it is a sign of wealth and luxury. Today, gold is still the most widely used material in jewellery, and is a safe bet. You can't go wrong with a gold jewel, whether it's a baptismal medal, an engagement ring, a pair of earrings or a pretty bracelet. The ideal gift for Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, a birthday, a declaration of love, a marriage proposal, Christmas or simply to say "I love you" during a declaration of love, gold jewellery is suitable for both men and women. Decorated with diamonds, black diamonds, precious stones such as ruby, sapphire or emerald, a fine or ornamental stone, gold reveals all its brilliance and beauty. Slipped on your neck, passed on your finger, rolled up on your wrist or coming to frame your face, a gold jewel will sublimate you with its presence, for a discreet or frankly assumed rendering, which will attract all eyes in the most beautiful way!
