Hearing the word \"gold<\/a>\", the man represents the classic yellow<\/a>, a noble sunshine. In the traditional perception of the noble metal looks like this. Today's goldsmiths don't limit their jewelry to just one shade: you can find White<\/a>, Reds<\/a>, Pink<\/a> and even blue<\/a> \u0438 Green<\/a> jewelry. On the one hand, this variety pleases, but on the other hand, it makes it difficult to choose when buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer to talk about white and yellow gold<\/a>: analyze their advantages and disadvantages, similarities and differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White and yellow gold: the reason for the color changes of the precious metal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pure gold products are not made for one reason: it has a soft structure. If you take a bar of gold in your hands and press it down, it will leave a dent. It can easily be pierced with a needle and cut with a knife. Alloys are used so the metal can be processed and used for a long time. Few people know, but jewelry is also made of alloys<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Foreign additives in the noble metal, a ligature, make it possible to make the alloy hard, reduce its final cost, endow it with a number of positive characteristics: strength, resistance to oxidation and corrosion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The effect of the ligature on the alloy color<\/a>The copper, for example, gives the precious metal shades of pink to red. For example, copper gives the precious metal shades of pink to red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major categories of color gold alloys comparison - which is better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We need to decide what kind of gold is better. white or yellow<\/a>? You can't do it visually, you have to compare them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composition and color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As already mentioned, the constituent components of the metal and its color qualities are closely related. Their main differences from each other are based on the composition of the ligature. For example, gold alloys often contain silver and copper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of a particular metal in the ligature naturally affects the saturation of the hue. Thus, 585th hallmark<\/a>The yellow color is thick and popular on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The color characteristics of the finished alloy gets through the impurities in a certain proportion: 58.5% pure gold, 22.75% copper, 18.75% silver.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The alloying metals in this case act as a so-called dye. Rarely, even blue and green alloys are produced. However, they are very fragile, so they are only used for decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a white alloy, the natural yellowing must be removed. Gold is \"bleached\" by adding certain metals. For whiteness, you need 17% of nickel or palladium. By the way, palladium gives a steel hue that is more saturated. Platinum needs less: only 8% of it in the composition will give the necessary white color and cool luster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Because of its high cost, platinum is used less frequently in alloys.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Durability and branding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the fundamental properties is strength. In order to increase the hardness, and with it the strength of the yellow metal, copper is added to the alloy. But, as it turns out, copper has low corrosion resistance, so silver is also added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nickel is also added to white gold for strength. Palladium can also be used, but with it the alloy is made soft. This consistency is suitable if you plan to make ornate jewelry and frame pieces with gemstones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And for white and yellow gold, the branding procedure is mandatory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Each item is marked and printed in accordance with GOST at the Assay Office. This approach helps to avoid counterfeit jewelry. For example, in Turkey, where large quantities of precious metal pieces are imported from, there are no standards. The marking of a piece is done by the manufacturer. There are cases where even the seller himself can put a mark on it at the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Table: Gradation of purity yellow and white gold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the table below you can clearly see what the assay of the finished gold piece depends on. The fraction of ligature, external characteristics, or more precisely, color - these parameters are determined by alloying sample<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is clear from the tabulated data, the proof determines the price of a gold piece. Pure or, as it is also called, niello gold is more expensive; for this and other reasons, it is not used in jewelry. The most popular precious metal is 585 pink<\/a>which meets the requirements of quality, affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOSTs and quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The processing and production of noble metal is enormous money, a fabulous profit. Naturally, this kind of occupation attracts swindlers. For example, in Russia and Europe, this is controlled by law. In our country, the composition of gold-containing alloys is approved by a single State standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Cost and popularity - which gold is more expensive: white or yellow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is impossible to answer exactly what is more expensive: white gold or yellow gold. Its color is not reflected in how much the finished product costs. Its quality is assessed, and the price is formed by several factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
