什么是黄金?

走进黄金珠宝的璀璨世界,黄金珠宝是几个世纪以来人们佩戴的经典珠宝。我们的文章将揭秘黄金的成分和历史意义,并向您介绍 Pearls of Australia 的精美黄金珠宝。

黄金的成分:永恒的经典

黄金的永恒魅力源自其由黄金和其他金属组成的纯净混合物。所有黄金(包括黄金)的纯度都以克拉为单位。

  • 24 克拉被认为是纯金,不含任何其他金属。
  • 18 克拉黄金含有 75% 的黄金和 25% 的其他金属,例如银或铜。

在澳大利亚,被称为黄金的珠宝的最低重量是 9 克拉,即 37.5% 是黄金,其余的是银和铜。

The Composition of Yellow Gold: A Timeless Staple

Yellow gold is the most classic and enduring form of gold jewellery. It's made by combining pure gold with other metals like silver and copper, which strengthen the metal and give it that signature warm, golden hue.

In Australia, gold jewellery must legally contain a minimum cartage of 27.5% pure gold, also known as 9 carats, to be described as gold. 14 carat gold contains a slightly higher portion of gold content, including 58.5% pure gold. Higher carat golds, like 18 carat, contain a greater portion of pure gold, giving them a richer colour and higher intrinsic value. 24 carats is considered to be pure gold, and is not mixed with any other metals.

At Pearls of Australia, we use 9ct, 14ct and 18ct yellow gold across our fine jewellery collections. Each piece is carefully hand crafted to highlight the beauty of our Australian grown pearls, creating designs that reflect authenticity and provenance.

9ct vs 14ct vs 18ct Yellow Gold

One of the most common questions is "What's the difference between 9ct, 14ct and 18ct yellow gold?"

Whether you choose 9ct or 18ct yellow gold, both are excellent choices for yellow gold pearl jewellery, each with its own balance of strength and colour.

为何选择黄金首饰?

除了物理耐用性之外,黄金还经受住了时间的考验,并且仍然被视为任何珠宝系列中的主打产品。

对于日常佩戴来说,9 克拉黄金首饰是理想的选择。它不仅价格更实惠,适合日常佩戴,而且看起来经典而永恒。

如果您想要更高级的外观,18 克拉黄金就是您的不二之选!由于黄金含量较高,18 克拉黄金更适合制作结婚戒指或订婚戒指。

黄金首饰的耐用性和保养

Yellow gold is real gold. All yellow gold jewellery, whether 9ct, 14ct or 18ct, contains real gold. The difference lies in purity - 18ct gold has a higher gold content than 14ct and 9ct gold.

At Pearls of Australia, our yellow gold pieces are hallmarked to guarantee authenticity and purity. Each design emodies traceability and quality.

The Durability and Care of Yellow Gold Jewellery

纯黄金是所有元素中密度最大的一种,也是可塑性最强的金属,这些特点使其成为制作珠宝的理想材料。黄金还具有很强的抗腐蚀性——这就是为什么某些黄金首饰非常适合日常佩戴。

如上所述,24 克拉是纯度最高的黄金,但这种纯度也带来了更大的延展性。这意味着 24 克拉黄金对于钻石和宝石首饰来说太软了,因为它无法保持其形状。

18 克拉黄金是理想的黄金,因为它在色彩丰富度和耐用性之间达到了最佳平衡。

Yellow Gold vs. Rose and White Gold

Gold jewellery comes in a spectrum of hues, each achieved by altering the mix of metals, also known as alloys:

Yellow Gold: Natural golden hue, timeless and versatile.

White Gold: Alloyed with palladium, then rhodium-plated for a bright silver finish.

Rose Gold: Contains a higher proportion of copper, giving it a soft pink tone.

So, what is the difference between gold and white gold? Pure gold is naturally yellow while white gold is modified for a cooler tone and needs occassional re-plating to maintain its brightness.

When comparing yellow gold vs rose gold, the choice comes down to personal preference. Yellow gold offers a warmth while rose gold lends a romantic touch.

Is Yellow Gold Good for Everyday Wear?

Yellow gold is durable, and is definitely great for everyday wear. 9ct gold is particularly hard wearing, while 18ct pieces - though softer, retain their colour and value over time. Yellow gold's subtle warmth also makes it incredibly flattering on a range of skin tones, which is why it remains one of the most popular choices for engagement rings, pendants and earrings.

Styling with Yellow Gold

From traditional pairings to contemporary contrasts, this classic compliments a variety of styles and skin tones. Stack your yellow gold jewellery with either more yellow gold, or with other golds like rose and white gold.

What Colour Pearls Go Best with Yellow Gold?

The warmth of yellow gold enhances the natural glow of many pearl varieties.

White South Sea pearls create a radiant contrast against this warm hue.

Akoya pearls, in their variety of colour tones add a refined elegance to yellow gold setttings.

This harmony between metal and pearl reflects our philosophy at Pearls of Australia: To honour the beauty of natural material, with our pearls with natural colour and lustre, set in thoughtful designs.

Can You Wear Yellow Gold with Silver Jewellery?

Absolutely. Mixing metals is a current styling trend that adds interest. Pair yellow gold necklaces with white gold or sterling silver jewellery for a layered look. The contrast between warm and cool tones gives a sophisticated edge.
