yellow gold

Traditional ring metal

Yellow gold is gold in its traditional warm, golden color, as distinguished from white gold or rose gold.

The term became necessary only after alternative gold alloys gained popularity in jewelry: She preferred yellow gold to platinum.

Yellow gold typically contains copper and silver to increase durability while preserving the characteristic hue.
