While all that glitters may be gold, not all gold is the soft yellow of Spanish doubloons. White gold, rose gold, and green gold all make beautiful gold jewelry and can be found at VistaBella. Thin strands of white and yellow gold can be woven together to create stunning pieces of gold jewelry. The different colors allow you to match the hue of a gemstone to a gold setting or bring out a new fire from the same gem. Rose gold accents can be fashioned for a sculpted wedding band of white gold.

Yellow Gold & White Gold

The most common alloy of gold used in jewelry. Small amounts of copper, zinc and silver are added to pure gold. The zinc, silver and copper make yellow gold jewelry a bit harder and more resistant to wear than pure gold. Another common gold color for necklaces and earrings, white gold is also a popular choice for wedding bands and engagement rings. Palladium, zinc and nickel are added to gold to give jewelry made from this alloy a white, reflective shine.

Rose Gold

Also known as pink gold or red gold, rose gold owes its pink color to higher percentage of copper in the mix. The additional copper gives the gold a blush of pink that can be deepened to red by increasing the amount of copper in the alloy. This makes beautiful jewelry for little girls, or anything shaped like flowers, especially roses.

Green Gold

Green gold is made by increasing the amount of silver found in a standard yellow gold alloy. Other metals, such as cadmium, can be used along with the silver to deepen the green hue of the gold. All the colors of gold are precious, and we are pleased to offer you a selection fine jewelry crafted from white gold, rose gold, green gold as well as traditional yellow gold.
