Its classic style not only evokes images of magnificence and wealth, but also exudes an old world charm like no other. While there are other metal options like platinum, white gold, rose gold and more available in today’s market; yellow gold still seems to be the favorite one.

Gold in its pure form is too soft to be worn as jewellery, as it would not withstand the everyday stresses that jewellery is exposed to. Instead it is mixed with other metals such as e.g. copper, zinc, silver or cobalt, to make a stronger alloy. The chemical symbol Au comes from ‘aurum’ the Latin word for gold (Aurora was goddess of dawn or the morning glow).

Yellow gold does not cause allergies.

The first and most important advantage that makes yellow gold a favorite is that it is least likely to cause any allergic reactions. Of all the types of gold available in the market today, yellow gold is the most hypoallergenic in nature. It is your best choice in case you have sensitive skin and also a good option for long term use. With a variety of design and style options available in yellow gold jewellery, it has quickly become a go-to option for many people.

Closest to the natural hue of raw gold

Most of us think of a golden-yellowish hue when we hear the word ‘gold’. Still, surprisingly, it is a popular belief that raw gold has a whitish hue to it. However, this is just a misconception. In reality, naturally occurring raw gold has a yellowish tint to it. This means yellow gold’s color comes closest to that of the raw and natural one.

Highly malleable

Yet another thing about gold is that it is a very soft precious metal, which again works in its favor. Being malleable (ability to be pressed into shapes without breaking or cracking), yellow gold is easy to work with to create fine and intricate designs. In case of damage, yellow gold can be repaired with ease too. Thus it is a dream metal to wear and work with as well.

Easy to maintain

Yellow gold is a preferred jewellery choice for both men and women. Rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets made with it look stunning and are very durable in the long run. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, rust and tarnish, which again makes it a desirable option. Any kind of damage on yellow gold is easy to repair and cover up. Another added advantage is that yellow gold requires very less maintenance. It can be cleaned and cared for at home itself, which makes it cost effective too.

Gold is a traditional choice for engagement and wedding rings

due to its rich burnished hue, strength, long-lasting beauty and inherent value. Its reputation for being a symbol of fidelity makes it a sought-after choice among many brides.

The spectacular bright hue and warm glow of yellow gold, no doubt, enthralls one and all.
