Yellow, white or rose gold?
All our jewellery comes in three gold colours. But what is the actual difference, and how do you know which one suits you? Here we go through it.
What does 18 karat mean?
18 karat gold is 75 percent pure gold. The rest is other metals that make the gold stronger and give it its colour. Pure gold is too soft for jewellery worn every day, so it is the alloy that makes the piece durable.
Yellow gold
Yellow gold is the classic gold colour, with a warm and timeless tone. It suits delicate everyday pieces and larger statement pieces alike, and is easy to combine with most other jewellery.
White gold
White gold is gold alloyed with white metals, giving it a light and cool tone. It makes white diamonds look especially bright and gives a modern, clean look.
Rose gold
Rose gold gets its pink tone from copper in the alloy. It has a soft, romantic look and works beautifully on its own or together with yellow gold.
How to choose
Start with the jewellery you already wear most, so the new piece is easy to combine. Many find that yellow and rose gold flatter a warm skin tone, and white gold a cool one. But there are no rules: mixing gold colours is both common and lovely.
