YELLOW GOLD, ROSE GOLD, WHITE GOLD: WHICH TO CHOOSE?
18-carat gold comes in several shades depending on the metals it contains:
1. Yellow gold: the most classic and timeless, it enhances all skin tones, especially golden complexions.
2. Rose gold: very romantic, its shade comes from copper. It is very flattering on light or rosy skin tones.
3. White gold: more modern, it is obtained by adding palladium or nickel. It suits fair skin well.
Fremont's tip: match your jewelry to your skin's undertone (warm = yellow and rose gold, cool = white gold). Be careful not to confuse skin undertone with skin color. Fair skin can very well have a warm undertone. There are many ways to determine your skin's undertone, but we will share one with you:
If you tan easily → probably warm.
However, if you burn quickly → probably cool.
A QUESTION OF STYLE AND PERSONALITY
Beyond skin tone, the choice of gold also reflects your style. Yellow gold embodies
tradition. White gold evokes sobriety, while rose gold stands out for its softness.
Also consider how it pairs with your outfits:
1. If you often wear warm tones (camel, terracotta, beige), yellow or rose gold
will suit you perfectly.
2. If you are a fan of cool colors (grey, navy blue, black), white gold
will naturally complement your looks.
And of course, nothing prevents you from mixing colors: the yellow/white gold duo is very
trendy!
GOLD AND MAINTENANCE: A CRITERION NOT TO BE NEGLECTED
In terms of maintenance, yellow gold and rose gold naturally retain their shine. White gold, on
the other hand, is often rhodium-plated to enhance its brilliance: this treatment wears off
over time and requires re-rhodium plating every 2 to 3 years to maintain its original appearance. If you are looking for jewelry to wear daily with minimal maintenance, this can tip the scales.
IN SUMMARY
The choice therefore depends primarily on your skin tone, personal preferences, and lifestyle. At Fremont Bijoutier, all our jewelry is crafted from 18-carat gold, whether yellow, white, or rose, to guarantee exceptional quality and uncompromising longevity.
