SHADES OF GOLD
one metal, six temperaments.
old, in its purest form, is too soft to wear. So it is alloyed. What we add decides its temperament — copper to blush it rose, palladium to whiten or cool it, silver to fuse it green. Same gold; six moods.
The Original
Yellow Gold
Pure gold is too soft to wear, so we temper it with a little silver and copper. The warmth stays untouched — this is gold at its most golden.
Add Copper
Rose Gold
Fold in copper and the metal blushes. The more copper, the deeper the rose — a warm, romantic pink that flatters every skin tone.
Alloy & Plate
White Gold
Gold goes white when alloyed with palladium, then finished in rhodium — a bright, mirror-white that throws a diamond's fire. The brightest of the whites; the plating is renewed over the years.
Add Palladium
Grey Gold
Alloy gold with palladium and the warmth cools to a soft, contemporary grey — the quiet, modern face of white metal, with no plating to wear away.
The Ancient One
Green Gold
Gold and silver, naturally fused — the ancients called it electrum. Lydia struck the world's first coins from it 2,600 years ago. A soft, pale green with history in its veins.
Add Copper & Zinc
Champagne Gold
A whisper of copper and zinc softens yellow into a warm, brown-tinged beige — understated and antique, the colour of candlelight on old gold.
