Yellow gold, an exceptional metal for sublime necklaces

Yellow gold gets its luminous warmth from its composition: an alloy of pure gold, copper, and silver, whose proportions vary according to the fineness. In luxury jewelry, 18-carat is the absolute standard – the one found in collections from major houses like Dinh Van, and in our selection of used yellow gold necklaces, at prices significantly lower than new.

Yellow gold, white gold, rose gold: how to choose?

Gold comes in three main shades: yellow, white, and rose. The yellow white rose gold necklace is also one of the most sought-after combinations in our catalog, for its elegant interplay of contrasts. However, yellow gold remains the most timeless of the three: it does not require rhodium plating (a surface treatment applied to white gold to maintain its shine) and its warm hue intensifies with time. For diamond necklaces, yellow gold creates a striking contrast with the white brilliance of the stones – an iconic duo found in the most beautiful pieces of our selection.

Frequently asked questions about yellow gold necklaces

How to care for a yellow gold necklace?

Clean your yellow gold link necklace or pendant once or twice a month with warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush. Rinse, dry with a soft cloth, and store it separately from other jewelry. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for necklaces set with colored stones like sapphire or cubic zirconia.

How to choose a yellow gold necklace?

It all depends on the intended use and the desired price. For everyday wear, a fine link chain or a discreet pendant. For a special occasion, a yellow gold diamond necklace or a signed Dinh Van piece of jewelry. Also consider the length: choker to enhance the décolletage, long for layering – a criterion valid for both women and men.

What is the difference between 18-carat yellow gold and 9-carat yellow gold?

The fineness indicates the purity of the gold: 18 carats corresponds to 75% pure gold, 9 carats to 37.5%. The higher the fineness, the more intense the yellow hue and the more precious the necklace. The majority of our Castafiore selection is in 18-carat yellow gold.

Can you wear a yellow gold necklace daily?

Yes, 18-carat yellow gold is perfectly suited for daily wear, for both women and men. It does not tarnish and maintains its shine without heavy maintenance. Simply remove your link necklace or pendant during sports or when using household products to preserve any set stones.
