Yellow, White or Rose Gold: Which Gold Color Suits You?

Gold is not always yellow. Depending on which metals are added to the fine gold, different tones are created – from warm yellow gold to cool white gold to delicate rose gold.

In this article, we explain how the gold colors are created, which color suits which skin tone and what to consider when caring for them.

How gold colors are created

Pure gold is very soft. For jewelry, it is therefore alloyed with other metals. The alloy determines not only the hardness but also the color:

  • Yellow gold: fine gold with silver and copper – the classic, warm gold tone.
  • White gold: fine gold with light metals such as palladium or silver, often additionally rhodium-plated.
  • Rose gold: fine gold with a higher share of copper, which creates the reddish glow.

The fineness is independent of the color: a 585 white gold ring contains 58.5% fine gold, just like a 585 yellow gold ring.

Which color suits your skin tone?

A simple test helps: look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they look greenish, you probably have a warm undertone – yellow gold and rose gold make it glow. If they look bluish, a cool tone such as white gold often suits you particularly well. In the end, though, what counts is what you like.

Gold colors and style

Yellow gold

Timeless and warm. High-karat pieces in 916 gold (22 karat) show a particularly rich yellow tone.

White gold

Modern and clear. White gold shows off colorless stones particularly well.

Rose gold

Romantic and soft. It looks delicate and combines well with yellow gold.

Mixing colors

Different gold colors may be worn together today. For the look to be harmonious, each color should appear at least twice. You will find more tips in our article Layering and Stacking.

Care by gold color

Yellow and rose gold are best cleaned with lukewarm water, a little mild soap and a soft cloth. With rhodium-plated white gold, the rhodium layer wears off over time, and the slightly yellowish base tone can show through. New rhodium plating at a jeweler restores the bright shine.
