Information on Gold

Gold won't tarnish, rust, or corrode, and though it's very strong, it is also the most malleable of all metals.

Purity

Pure gold is too soft to withstand the stresses of every-day wear, so it is alloyed with a mixture of metals like silver, copper, nickel, and zinc to give it strength and durability. Caratage, noted by a number followed by "ct" indicates purity, or how much of the metal in a piece of jewelry is gold. Caratage is expressed in 24ths, making 24ct gold 100% gold.

Color

The color of gold is determined by two factors:
  •  The type of metal alloys included in it
  •  The percentage of each metal alloy

    Yellow Gold
    In jewellery at Alba Rose, you'll find 18ct gold only. 18ct gold contains more precious metal than other alloys of gold. It is composed of 75% gold, which is alloyed with other metals to make it strong enough to withstand every-day wear. Because other alloys of gold is composed of less pure gold, its gold color is not as rich as 18ct gold.
