Whether it’s a bold statement piece or a delicate everyday staple, 18kt yellow gold provides a luxurious radiance that only improves with time.

what is 18kt yellow gold?

18kt yellow gold is composed of 75% pure gold (750/1000) and 25% alloyed metals, typically a blend of silver and copper. This specific mix is carefully chosen to maintain the natural golden hue of pure gold while improving its strength and wearability. The result is a rich, buttery-yellow tone that remains vibrant over time. You’ll often see it marked with 750, indicating 750 parts per thousand of pure gold or 18K or 18kt - the karat rating.
