Gold is too soft to be used in jewelry in its pure form, so it is typically mixed with other metals. Pure gold is known as 24k gold, but most jewelry is made from either 18k gold, 14k gold or 10k gold.

Three different colors of gold are used in jewelry yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. While yellow gold is still probably the most popular color of gold white and rose gold is also popular and fashionable. Gold jewelry is nontoxic, resists tarnishing, doesn’t corrode, is hypoallergenic, and retains its value making it very popular to wear.
