Yellow Gold

yel·​low gold | ˈye-(ˌ)lō gōld

noun

A gold that is yellow--as in its pure form--often alloyed with copper and silver

Yellow gold is a term that refers to the natural state of gold without having been alloyed with gold or silver. In its purest form, gold is a rich yellow color. It is considered one of the oldest precious metals and has been highly sought after and held intrinsic value globally for millennia. Since ancient times and likely before them, gold has symbolized power, success, and lavishness. Those with wealth and power had gold and they used it to show that wealth and power in their dress, jewelry, and household design. Gold is often alloyed with other metals to make it more durable or to change the color for jewelry.
