Historically, white and yellow gold were favored in jewelry, but in recent years, rose gold has become increasingly sought after. Color differences are achieved by varying the composition of the alloys combined with 18-carat gold.

 

Jewelers tend to mainly offer white gold, also known as rhodium-plated white gold.

 
At Héloïse & Abélard, we observe a preference for recycled 18-carat rose gold because we offer a very soft, feminine, and modern pink.
Recycled 18-carat yellow gold is also chosen for its traditional aspect and the fact that it is easy for couples to choose yellow, as men are sometimes more reluctant to wear pink.

 
However, couples no longer necessarily choose the same gold color for their wedding jewelry!
All our jewelry is made to order, so we craft it in the 18-carat gold of your choice.

 

18-carat yellow gold

Alloy: 75% gold, 12.5% silver, 12.5% copper

 
"The intuitive color of gold," yellow gold conveys a classic, traditional, and timeless dimension.

In recent years, white gold has also become a tradition, and rose gold is increasingly sought after. Now, yellow gold is also a way to step off the beaten path and add a creative touch for those who wish.
"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun." Pablo Picasso


 

18-carat rose gold

Alloy: 75% gold, 5% silver, 20% copper

 
Rose gold, which remained relatively unknown on the international scene until the 19th century, is increasingly in demand.
Indeed, the craze for rose gold dates back to the 19th century when it was used in Russia by jeweler Carl Fabergé for the production of his finest pieces, including his famous egg. It was then called "Russian gold" before being known today as rose gold.
Rose gold is refined, feminine, and decidedly romantic.
"Love is blind and its cane is pink" Serge Gainsbourg


 

18-carat white gold

Alloy: 75% gold, 25% silver, copper, and palladium

 
Subtle, discreet, the white gold engagement ring has established itself in recent years as an elegant and ideal alternative to traditional yellow.
It should be noted that the characteristics and resistance of the color over time vary depending on the type of white gold; there is palladium white gold or rhodium-plated white gold. In both cases, it needs to be maintained over time.
