Gold has an inherent beauty which for centuries has made it the metal of choice for fine jewellery. It glitters and shines and is the prefect setting for all gemstones.

Gold in its pure form is heavy, very soft and yellow. To make gold suitable for jewellery, other metals (called alloys) are mixed into pure gold which results in the metal becoming harder and more durable. Depending on the combination of alloy’s added to pure gold, the colour will change. For example: for white gold, other white metals are added to pure gold and for rose gold, copper is added to pure gold. Both white and rose gold, maintain the durable characteristics of its counterpart, yellow gold.

White gold jewellery is always rhodium plated to ensure that the piece has a beautiful, clean smooth finish

The Carat System:

18ct = 18 parts of gold, with 6 part of alloy
14ct = 14 parts of gold, with 10 parts of alloy
9ct = 9 parts of gold, with 15 parts of alloy
