Yellow Gold: The Reigning King Of Precious Metals
Prized by kings, queens, and emperors for thousands of years, bright sparkling yellow gold is also the most popular metal for jewelry of all kinds. It’s the only yellow metal with a radiance akin to the sun’s.
Gold is also rare. All the gold found in the last 6,000 years would fit in a cube only 54 inches on all sides. And gold is easy to work, does not tarnish, rust, or corrode and is indestructible. Gold coins have been recovered from sunken treasure ships, after centuries beneath the sea, looking bright as new. And the golden treasures of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen are as beautiful today as when they were buried in 1358 BC.
Gold has all the qualities that make it perfect for jewelry and ideal for holding rare gemstones. Gold never goes out of style. And it is the most versatile substance ever discovered. It can be cast, hammered, stamped, molded, carved, polished and heated repeatedly without causing any changes.
This season, sunny yellow gold jewelry is being shown in dozens of affordable high-fashion styles. You’ll see glamorous gold chandelier earrings, pendants, and bracelets plus stackable bangles and cuffs in light and airy designs that use less metal but project a very smart and dramatic look.
