Understanding Gold Compositions.
At The Little Jewel, we believe that every person has a unique style, and the best fashion and jewellery pieces are those that reflect individuality. We offer a luxurious shopping experience that is defined by simplicity and minimalism. In this informative article, we'll explore four gold alloys we use in our jewellery and how they're made, so you can make an informed decision when purchasing jewellery or other gold items.
Gold. A Precious Metal.
Gold is a precious metal valued for its rarity and beauty for centuries. However, pure gold is too soft to be used in most jewellery and other applications, which is why it's often combined with other metals to create more durable and workable alloys. We explore the various compositions of gold that we use in our jewellery.

The Making of Gold Alloys.
So how are gold alloys made? Pure gold is melted down and mixed with the other metals in the desired percentages. The mixture is then poured into a mold and allowed to cool and harden. The resulting alloy can then be shaped into jewellery or other items.

18Kt Rose Gold. A Warm and Luxurious Choice.
If you're looking for a warm and luxurious option, 18kt Rose Gold is a popular choice for jewellery. This type of gold alloy is made up of 75% gold, 22.25% copper, and 2.75% silver. Copper gives the alloy its reddish colour, while silver helps to improve its hardness and durability. With a higher percentage of gold than lower karats, such as 14kt, 18kt rose gold is more valuable and luxurious.
