What is Yellow Gold Jewelry?
Yellow gold jewelry is personal ornaments such as rings and necklaces that made from yellow colored gold. Historically, yellow gold was mainly used for engagements and wedding ceremonies. This dated back to more than 2000 years ago.
However, in the 1990s yellow gold’s popularity dropped and was considered out of style. It was replaced with cooler hues such as platinum and silver. Fortunately, in today’s times, yellow gold is recognized again for its beauty and is quite popular in the market.
The Durability of Yellow Gold
Gold as a pure substance is very delicate and flexible. It appears in the form of a nugget in rocks or alluvial deposits. Therefore, it is cannot maintain shape for a long duration of time. That is why the more gold there is in an alloy, the more the jewelry that a customer purchase is susceptible to damage. Yellow Gold is considered an alloy because it is known to be more durable than its’ purest form. Yellow gold is composed of pure gold with alloy elements like copper and zinc.
Yellow Gold on Skin Tones
Skin tone is the skin color on the surface of the skin. It is determined by the amount of melanin an individual has on their skin. Skin tone is divided into two fundamental categories, warm and cool. Yellow Gold flatters people born with warm skin tones. Yellow gold jewelry can stand out against darker tones and shine. For more information, contact Yasini Jewelers at www.yasini.com.
