Why Gold Jewelry Comes in Different Colors | Ishime Jewels
Why Gold Comes in Many Colors
Gold jewelry isn’t just yellow. From romantic rose to sleek white and rare green, gold comes in many shades—thanks to the different metal alloys mixed with pure gold.
Pure gold (24K) is naturally rich yellow in color but too soft for everyday wear. To enhance strength and change the color, it’s blended with other metals. Here’s how each shade is created:

White Gold
