Its composition consists of a mixture of pure gold with alloys such as copper and zinc, which give the metal greater resistance and durability.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>24 carats (24K):<\/strong> 99.9% pure gold, extremely soft and less used in jewelry;<\/li>\n<li><strong>22 karat (22K):<\/strong> Contains 91.6% gold, more resistant than 24K but still quite soft;<\/li>\n<li><strong>18 carats (18K):<\/strong> Composed of 75% gold and 25% alloys, it is ideal for <a title=\"jewelry\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cipollagioielli.com\/en\/product-category\/selling-jewelry-online\/\">high quality jewelry<\/a>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>14 Karat (14K):<\/strong> Containing 58.5% gold, it is very popular for its durability and affordability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"White_gold\"><\/span>White gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>White gold is a sophisticated and modern choice. It is created by mixing pure gold with white metals such as palladium, silver or nickel.<br \/>\nIt is often plated with rhodium to improve its shine and durability.<br \/>\nCommon options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>18K white gold:<\/strong> With 75% pure gold, it is prized for its balance between purity and durability;<\/li>\n<li><strong>14K white gold:<\/strong> Contains 58.5% gold and is a popular choice due to its durability and lower cost than 18K white gold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rose_gold\"><\/span>Rose gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rose gold, also known as red gold or rose gold, is prized for its warm, romantic rosy color.<br \/>\nThis effect is achieved by mixing pure gold with a larger amount of copper.<br \/>\nCommon options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>18K rose gold:<\/strong> Made of 75% gold and a mixture of copper and silver, it is popular for its durability and beauty;<\/li>\n<li><strong>14K rose gold:<\/strong> Containing 58.5% gold, it is more durable and affordable than 18K rose gold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Black_gold\"><\/span>Black gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Black gold is a distinctive and modern choice. This unique effect is achieved by treating pure gold with metals such as cobalt, black sapphire or rhodium, or by using processes such as oxidation or laser treatment. Black gold is prized for its elegant and sophisticated appearance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>18K black gold:<\/strong> With 75% pure gold, it offers a balance between purity and durability;<\/li>\n<li><strong>14K black gold:<\/strong> Containing 58.5% gold, it is more resistant and affordable than 18K black gold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blue_gold\"><\/span>Blue gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Blue gold is a rare and fascinating option made by combining pure gold with gallium or indium, or by treating the surface of the gold with iron and high heat.<br \/>\nThis gives the gold a particular blue hue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>18K blue gold:<\/strong> Contains 75% pure gold and offers a distinctive appearance;<\/li>\n<li><strong>14K blue gold:<\/strong> With 58.5% gold, it is more durable and affordable than 18K blue gold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purple_gold\"><\/span>Purple gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Purple gold is another type of colored gold, created by combining gold with aluminum.<br \/>\nThis type of gold is fragile and is often used for decoration rather than jewelry that must withstand daily use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>18K purple gold:<\/strong> With 75% pure gold, it is rare and sought after for its unique color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Green_gold\"><\/span>Green gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Green gold is a unique and less common choice, made by mixing pure gold with silver and sometimes copper.<br \/>\nThis creates a very distinctive greenish hue.<br \/>\nThe most common options include 18K and 14K green gold, similar in composition to other <strong>types of colored gold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yellow_gold_vs_white_gold_vs_rose_gold\"><\/span>Yellow gold vs. white gold vs. rose gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yellow Gold:<\/strong> Traditional, hypoallergenic, easy to work and repair;<\/li>\n<li><strong>White Gold:<\/strong> Modern, often plated with rhodium for added shine, may cause nickel allergies in some people;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rose Gold:<\/strong> Romantic, unique, more durable thanks to the copper content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_importance_of_carats\"><\/span>The importance of carats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The purity of gold is measured in carats. The higher the karat count, the greater the amount of pure gold contained.<br \/>\nHowever, pure gold is very soft, so adding alloys increases the hardness and durability of the jewelry.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recycled_gold\"><\/span>Recycled gold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Recycled gold is an eco-friendly and sustainable option, made by remelting old jewelry, industrial waste and other sources.<br \/>\nThis type of gold has the same physical and chemical properties as recently mined gold, but with a reduced environmental impact.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Understanding the <strong>different types of gold<\/strong> is essential to making an informed choice and finding the perfect jewel that reflects your style and elegance.<br \/>\nAt <em>Cipolla dal 1950 Gioiellieri<\/em>, we offer an exclusive selection of gold jewelry that embodies timeless beauty and superior quality.<br \/>\nOur commitment to excellence and our long tradition in the sector allow us to offer only the best to our customers, both in our historic showroom in Palermo and through our portal or<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to types of gold: Symbol of luxury and timeless beauty Gold has always been a symbol of luxury, prestige and timeless beauty.
