Your choice of gold jewellery can reflect your style and personality. While all three — yellow, rose, and white gold contain real gold, the difference lies in the metals mixed with it to create the final shade.

Each type has its unique charm and characteristics. Here’s how to decide which gold suits you the best.

Yellow Gold – The Timeless Classic

Warm. Traditional. Regal.
The warm, rich, and pureness of this gold makes it stand out from the rest. It is usually blended with both silver and copper which makes it perfect for vintage designs. This type of gold is wonderfully warm, giving a rich tone and is still the most traditional.
 • Composition: Pure gold mixed with silver and copper
 • Ideal for: Warm skin tones (olive, golden, or darker complexions)
 • Best used in: Traditional jewellery, antique settings, and heritage pieces
 • Maintenance: Easy to polish and maintain over time

Why choose it?
If you love timeless elegance and want something that never goes out of style, yellow gold is your perfect match.

Rose Gold – The Romantic Trendsetter
Soft. Feminine. Modern.
Rose gold or pink gold adds a soft blush to jewellery pieces. An exquisite choice for engagement rings, it also looks great in modern and minimalistic jewellery.

 • Composition: Gold alloyed with a higher amount of copper
 • Ideal for: All skin tones, especially fair and rosy undertones
 • Best used in: Minimalist designs, couple bands, or fashion-forward jewellery
 • Maintenance: May darken slightly over time due to copper, adding vintage charm 

Why choose it?
If you’re looking for something unique yet versatile, rose gold balances tradition and trend beautifully.

White Gold – The Sleek Sophisticate
Cool. Chic. Contemporary.
As with platinum, white gold is more accessible while still being elegant with its silvery-white hue. It’s a fantastic compliment to modern styles and a popular option for setting diamonds.
 • Composition: Gold mixed with white metals like nickel, palladium, or zinc
 • Ideal for: Cool or neutral skin tones
 • Best used in: Engagement rings, earrings, and sleek modern designs
 • Maintenance: Rhodium plating may wear over time and needs occasional re-coating

Why choose it?
If you prefer a clean, modern look or want your diamonds to pop, white gold is an elegant choice.

So, Which One Should You Choose?
Jewellery customers often overlook the impact of the base metal on the style, but it strongly influences the overall look. So here is a guide for your needs:
 • Yellow Gold: For a classic and everlasting look.
 • Rose Gold: Because of its romantic blush tone, it appeals to contemporary fashion.
 • White Gold: Best suited for those who wish to accentuate a diamond’s fire for a fresh and chic appearance.
