14k TWO TONE GOLD JEWELRY

Two tone gold jewelry is so called because it is crafted from two colors of gold. In its purest form, gold is a yellow metal. However it is too soft to be used alone in fine jewelry and so it is alloyed with other metals for extra strength. The color and proportions of the metal alloy used to strengthen the gold determine the resultant gold color and purity.

For example, 18k white gold contains 75% pure yellow gold and 25% white metal alloy (such as silver). 14k rose gold contains 58.5% pure yellow gold and 41.5% red metal, such as copper.

Two tone gold jewelry is typically made from yellow gold and either white gold or rose gold of the same purity. This is because the different colors of the gold are most apparent when the colors are very dissimilar.

Yellow and rose gold colors can appear very similar, depending upon the quality of the gold. Because there is more copper in lower purities of rose gold, 9k or 10k yellow and rose gold will be much more distinct from each other in hue than, for example, 18k yellow and rose gold will be.

Yellow gold and white gold colors are the most widely available gold colors and so the majority of two tone gold jewelry combines yellow and white gold colors. Nevertheless, from time to time, two tone gold pieces in yellow and rose gold can be found and have a subtlety of color play that makes them especially pretty.

Reversibility is a big characteristic of two tone jewelry depending on the individual piece. In reversible jewelry, the two gold colors are not entwined to show off each color at the same time. Instead revesible piece, such as two tone gold bracelets and necklaces, are carefully crafted to show only one color at a time. This means that the wearer can reverse the two tone bracelet and effectively have two gold bracelets, each in a different color of gold!

This makes two tone gold jewelry very cost effective and an excellent choice for a gift!

Rose gold, also called pink gold or red gold, is a mixture of pure yellow gold with a higher percentage of copper alloy and lower percentage of silver alloy compared to other colors of gold. Rose gold jewelry has a subtle, delicate color that can intensify with age due to an attractive tarnishing of the copper alloy content.

The percentage of copper defines the level of red in rose gold. As with other gold colors, 18k rose gold is 75% gold and 25% copper; 14k rose gold is 41.5% copper to 58.5% gold. The difference in the copper to gold mixes of different gold qualities means that rose gold jewelry pieces may not match exactly. Deeper, more reddish rose gold pieces are likely to contain higher copper quantities and be found in 9k or 10k rose gold, whilst the pinker hues are likely to be in 18k rose gold.

Although copper is a comparatively cheap alloy, rose gold jewelry is not cheaper than other colors of gold jewelry. This is because its relative rarity makes it very collectible and allows premium prices to be charged. Indeed a particular piece of rose gold jewelry may have to be specially “commissioned”; something which obviously attracts a premium price.

Because of its pinkish tones, rose gold has traditionally been used in fine jewelry for discerning women because it makes a piece of jewelry individual and out of the ordinary. Rose gold is predominantly suited to warm skin tones; redheads and strawberry blondes looking particularly stunning in rose gold jewelry. However, rose gold also warms up any skin tone and imparts a healthy glow especially next to the face.

However the same pinkish red hue which makes rose gold jewelry a perfect choice for women also makes it a less popular choice for men’s jewelry. Nonetheless current trends mean that rose gold accents are increasingly found in men’s two tone gold and tri-color gold jewelry.

Rose gold is rarely found in children’s jewelry because of its relative expense compared to white gold and yellow gold.

Rose gold is being used in new ways in gold jewelry making. Rose gold is also being increasingly used to highlight the individual beauty of diamonds and precious gemstones to spectacular effects.
