Italian Gold vs. National Gold

The difference between the two lies in the quality of their manufacturing, as the raw material is always the same.

• Italian gold is made in factories, so its finishes are more detailed and refined. Its quality is higher due to the technology available in Italy.

• National gold is characterized by being artisanal, as it is handcrafted by jewelers, which often makes it heavier.

Types of Gold by Color

Gold is one of the most prized metals in jewelry for its beauty, durability, and value. Pure gold (24 karats) is a very soft metal, so to make jewelry, it is mixed with other metals to make it more resistant. Depending on the metals it is mixed with, gold can change color. The most popular colors are yellow, white, and rose gold.

Yellow Gold

Yellow gold is the most classic and traditional color, as it retains gold's natural tone. It is obtained by mixing pure gold with silver and copper.
It is widely used in rings, chains, bracelets, and fine jewelry in general. One of its advantages is that it requires less maintenance than other gold colors, as it does not need plating. Furthermore, it is a color that never goes out of style and is widely used in luxury pieces and traditional jewelry.

Important note: Yellow gold is the most hypoallergenic of the three, as it typically contains fewer metals that can cause allergies.

White Gold

White gold is obtained by mixing pure gold with white metals such as palladium, silver, or nickel. To give it its characteristic bright white color, it is plated with rhodium, a precious metal that provides shine and protection.

It is very popular in engagement rings and modern jewelry because its appearance is similar to platinum.

Important note: White gold requires maintenance, as the rhodium plating wears off over time, and it is recommended to reapply it every 1 to 2 years to maintain its color and shine.
