We commonly see yellow gold, but we also know that, in jewelry, there are pieces of the same material in other shades. So, how do you alter the color of gold?
In a previous publication we talked about gold alloying, a process necessary for the manufacture of jewelry pieces that consists of mixing gold with other metals, thus hardening it.
Technically, gold does not change color; However, the alloy with other materials of different colors manages to alter its tone.
Jewelry makers choose one material or another, as appropriate, to achieve the desired color. In addition, the amount of carats (K) of gold used influences the shade of color achieved.
The most commonly known colors in jewelry are yellow gold, rose gold and white gold. To maintain its yellow color , gold is alloyed with a mixture of silver and copper in equal amounts.
On the other hand, rose gold is achieved by alloying the same materials as yellow gold, that is, silver and copper; However, the amount of the second material is much greater, causing that pink color.
As for white gold , the alloy is achieved with white metals, such as palladium, platinum or nickel. The material used will depend on the hardness and exact color you want to achieve.
There are other less known varieties of colors in gold, such as grey, red, green, purple, blue and black , although these are less used.

Desde hace siglos, las perlas se han asociado con el lujo y la elegancia. Pero, ¿qué son realmente? Las perlas se forman en el interior de ciertos moluscos, como ostras y mejillones. Cuando este proceso ocurre de manera espontánea, da lugar a perlas naturales, consideradas extremadamente raras. En cambio, si hay intervención humana, hablamos de perlas cultivadas. En este caso, el molusco sigue produciendo nácar, pero a partir de un núcleo implantado por una persona, generalmente elaborado con concha de otro molusco.
La circonita es una de las gemas más populares en la joyería actual. Su semejanza con el diamante hace que, a simple vista, sea difícil distinguirlas, lo que la convierte en una opción ideal para quienes buscan una alternativa más accesible sin sacrificar elegancia. Además, su versatilidad permite crearla en una amplia variedad de tamaños y colores, como circonita verde, azul o incluso circonita negra, adaptándose a todos los estilos.
