What is 18k gold (750 gold)?

The gold used in jewelry is called «750 thousandths» (which corresponds to 18k gold) because this metal is actually composed of 75% pure gold, and 25% of other precious metals, which are used to give it a specific color, and strength. Indeed, pure gold as found in its natural state is too malleable to be used as such. It is therefore combined with silver, copper or palladium to be worked into jewelry that will not warp when worn.

18k white gold (750 white gold)

White gold, before it is treated, is also called «grey gold». Indeed, it is the last step of preparation of the jewel that will give it its beautiful bright color!

This operation should be renewed regularly, every two or three years, so that your jewel never loses its beauty and remains radiant as on the first day!

Less cold than white gold, and less classic than yellow gold, rose gold is a good compromise if you are looking for a modern and precious wedding ring. Today, rose gold is one of the most used metals in jewelry, and is increasingly favored by jewelers.
