Yellow Gold Bracelets
A lot of people aspire to have gold necklaces, gold bracelets and gold pendants to keep as souvenirs of their hard work and, in some countries, a symbol of their wealth. Gold bracelets come in different colors. We have yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, green gold and even purple gold. This is because Gold is a very soft and malleable metal, so in order for jewellery manufacturers to be able to make gold bracelets, necklaces, watches and rings, they have to mix gold with other metals, such as silver, nickel, copper and zinc.
Gold in its pure form is yellow gold. This is probably why the most popular among all the gold bracelets or gold necklaces being bought is still made out of yellow gold. People think that the more yellow the color, then it is more likely that the more gold a gold bracelet contains. A yellow gold bracelet though can have varying shades of “yellow”. This is again due to the fact that gold is mixed with other metal alloys and while it is true that these metal alloys can change the color of gold, the actual amount gold in a gold bracelet is actually measured by carats and not by its color.
A yellow gold bracelet that is 18 carats can contain as much gold as a white gold bracelet with 18 carats as well. Carats are measured given these figures: 24 carats which is at 99.9% gold, 18 carats at around 75% gold, 14 carats at around 50% gold and 9 carats at around 30%.
These yellow gold bracelets come in different designs. A classic piece that you could buy is a yellow gold curb chain bracelet. If you want another simple design, you can buy a yellow gold tennis bracelet of a yellow gold bangle. Any yellow gold design commands attention. A person with a yellow gold bracelet is indeed lucky to have one.
