14k TWO TONE GOLD JEWELRY

Two tone gold jewelry is so called because it is crafted from two colors of gold. In its purest form, gold is a yellow metal. However it is too soft to be used alone in fine jewelry and so it is alloyed with other metals for extra strength. The color and proportions of the metal alloy used to strengthen the gold determine the resultant gold color and purity.

For example, 18k white gold contains 75% pure yellow gold and 25% white metal alloy (such as silver). 14k rose gold contains 58.5% pure yellow gold and 41.5% red metal, such as copper.

Two tone gold jewelry is typically made from yellow gold and either white gold or rose gold of the same purity. This is because the different colors of the gold are most apparent when the colors are very dissimilar.

Yellow and rose gold colors can appear very similar, depending upon the quality of the gold. Because there is more copper in lower purities of rose gold, 9k or 10k yellow and rose gold will be much more distinct from each other in hue than, for example, 18k yellow and rose gold will be.

Yellow gold and white gold colors are the most widely available gold colors and so the majority of two tone gold jewelry combines yellow and white gold colors. Nevertheless, from time to time, two tone gold pieces in yellow and rose gold can be found and have a subtlety of color play that makes them especially pretty.

Reversibility is a big characteristic of two tone jewelry depending on the individual piece. In reversible jewelry, the two gold colors are not entwined to show off each color at the same time. Instead revesible piece, such as two tone gold bracelets and necklaces, are carefully crafted to show only one color at a time. This means that the wearer can reverse the two tone bracelet and effectively have two gold bracelets, each in a different color of gold!

This makes two tone gold jewelry very cost effective and an excellent choice for a gift!
