A rose gold ring is displayed on white artificial roses. Gold jewelry can come in different colors and alloys; yellow, white and rose gold each appeal to a different style.
What is the Carat and Purity of Gold?
One of the first features that catch our attention when buying gold jewelry is the karat value. Karat refers to the purity level of gold. 24 carat gold is pure gold (contains 99.99% gold), but since it is soft, it is not used in pure form in jewelry. For this reason, gold jewelry is usually hardened by alloying it with other metals. For example:
22 Carat Gold: Contains approximately 91.6% pure gold. It is used in bracelets and sets, especially in some cultures where jewelry traditions are strong. Its color is a very vibrant yellow, but it is less preferred in detailed jewelry because it is soft.
18K Gold: Contains 75% pure gold (the rest is metals such as silver and copper). It is one of the most popular gold settings in jewelry; it offers a good balance. It is often used in jewelry such as diamond rings and necklaces because it is both valuable and harder.
14 Carat Gold: Contains 58.5% pure gold. It has high durability and is widely preferred in daily jewelry. It is also more affordable. Especially in Turkey, 14 carat gold necklaces, rings, etc. are very common.
8 Carat Gold: Contains 33% gold (the rest is alloy metals). It is considered low carat and is used in some jewelry, but its color is slightly paler than pure gold.
The general rule is this: As the karat increases, the value and yellow color of the gold increases, but its hardness decreases . For example, a 22-karat ring can bend more easily than a 14-karat ring. Therefore, it is more practical to choose 18 or 14 karat for jewelry that is used a lot in daily life (e.g. engagement rings).
Yellow Gold, White Gold and Rose Gold
Gold jewelry is divided into different types not only in terms of carat but also in terms of color: Yellow, white and rose gold are the most common gold colors. These colors are formed according to the metals added to the gold alloy:
Yellow Gold: It is the natural color of gold. Its alloy usually contains silver and copper, but its proportions are adjusted to preserve the yellow color. Yellow gold has a warm and classic appearance, it is the most commonly used type of gold in traditional jewelry. Yellow gold is especially preferred in authentic jewelry, jewelry sets and classic wedding ring models. Yellow gold jewelry looks great on those with warm skin tones (wheat or dark skin).
White Gold: A silvery white gold alloy. It contains white metals such as nickel, palladium or silver. Most white gold jewelry is also coated with rhodium plating to give it a bright white appearance (this coating can wear off over time but can be replaced). White gold looks modern and stylish because it looks like platinum. . It is often preferred in diamond rings because the white metal highlights the sparkle of the stone. White gold jewelry looks elegant on people with cool undertones and fair skin.
Rose Gold: Gold that appears pink or reddish in tone due to the high copper content in its alloy. . It has a romantic and elegant appearance. Rose gold, which has become very popular in recent years, is used especially in young and modern designs. Rose gold is often seen in engagement rings, watch cases and chain necklaces. It can provide a nice contrast to both fair and dark skinned people. In addition, rose gold has a nostalgic atmosphere in vintage style jewelry.
There are rarer alloys outside of these three colors, such as green gold (gold with a high silver content can be slightly greenish), but they are not as common in jewelry. Generally, yellow, white and rose gold make up the main palette of the jewelry world.
Which Type of Gold Should You Prefer?
When choosing between gold types, you can consider several factors:
Skin Color and Personal Taste: While some people prefer the warm tone of yellow gold to their skin, others prefer the simple elegance of white gold. You can choose according to your skin tone (if you have a warm undertone, yellow/rose gold may look better, if you have a cool undertone, white gold may look better). However, this is not a rule; you can also decide according to your visual taste.
Purpose of Use: If it is a piece of jewelry that you will wear daily (for example, a ring that is worn constantly), 14 or 18 karat gold will be more resistant to scratches. If you are going to choose white gold, be aware that the rhodium plating may need to be renewed over time (it usually requires maintenance every few years). If it is a fancy set that you will wear on special occasions, 22 karat yellow gold can be purchased, which will increase its value.
Stones in Jewelry: White gold or platinum is usually used in diamond and clear stone rings so that the stone looks clearer. Colored precious stones (emerald, ruby, sapphire) also look good with yellow gold. Rose gold contrasts with white diamonds and gives the stones a warm glow. When buying a piece with stones, you can also look at which gold color will match the color and cut of the stone.
Fashion and compatibility: Some people like to keep all their jewelry in the same tone (like always wearing yellow gold), while others use two colors together (for example, wearing both yellow and white gold rings on top of each other has become a trend in recent years). Even “tricolor” designs that combine three gold colors are popular. Therefore, choosing a color that matches your existing jewelry makes it easier to create a combination. If you are buying a gift, it is a good idea to pay attention to which color of gold the other party wears the most.
In summary, yellow gold is a classic and never-losing option, white gold is a modern and elegant alternative, and rose gold stands out as a romantic and trendy choice. Although the care and usage features of each are very similar, the visual impact they create is different. You can determine your gold color according to your own style and the environment in which you will use it.
Understanding the types of gold and its carats makes it easier for you to make an informed jewelry choice. In this way, you can choose the jewelry that best suits your budget and taste, and enjoy the piece you buy for years to come. Remember, no matter what color or carat it is , gold jewelry is a symbol of elegance and permanence .

Personalized gold name necklaces have attracted great attention in recent years. Name necklaces are both unique accessories that reflect your style and special jewelry that carries emotional meanings.
Rising Trend in Personal Jewelry
Jewelry is not just an accessory, but also an elegant way to express yourself and your individuality . For this reason, personalized, meaningful jewelry has recently become prominent in the fashion world. Name necklaces , in particular, have become personal jewelry that both women and men often prefer. Carrying your own name or the names of your loved ones on a necklace adds deep meaning and emotional value to the jewelry. Today, stylish people like to tell their own stories in their jewelry. For this reason, personalized pieces such as letter necklaces, bracelets with names and astrological sign necklaces are on the rise.
History and Culture of Named Jewelry
The popularity of name necklaces is not new; they emerged as a powerful symbol of self-expression, especially in the African-American and Latino communities in the 1980s and 1990s. Named jewelry, which spread to the masses with its frequent use in hip-hop culture, became one of the iconic pieces of fashion for a while. Name necklaces, which appeared in famous television series and pop stars' music videos, became a trend in the early 2000s, as in the "Carrie" necklace. With the winds of nostalgia blowing in the fashion world, the popular name necklaces of that period are back on the scene today. Now, everyone, regardless of whether they are young or adult, can proudly display their personality and individuality by wearing their own name or the names of their loved ones around their neck.
Why Are Name Necklaces So Special?
Wearing a name as a pendant means a lot to the person who wears it. Here are the reasons why name necklaces are so special:
Unique and Personal: A name necklace is completely personal to you. No one else has the same one because it carries your name or the name of your loved ones. This sense of uniqueness makes the jewelry more than just an ordinary accessory.
Emotional Value: Wearing the name of someone you love around your neck makes you feel them around you at all times. For example, a mother keeps her child's love close by by wearing his/her name as a necklace. Similarly, having your partner's or your own name on your necklace sends a strong message that symbolizes your identity and love.
Self-Expression: Fashion is now a form of self-expression. Named jewelry tells something about the wearer. Wearing your own name in a bold style reflects your self-confidence, while wearing a favorite word or nickname reveals your character. In this respect, named necklaces are elegant symbols that tell your own story.
Timeless and Suitable for All Styles: Although name necklaces are trendy, they are actually timeless accessories. While they have a nostalgic air, they can adapt to any style with modern designs. Whether it's a casual sporty combination or a chic evening dress... A thin gold necklace with your name written on it always looks elegant and never goes out of fashion.
Meaning of Named Jewelry as a Gift
Personalized jewelry is also one of the most meaningful and unforgettable options when it comes to choosing a gift. Named necklaces in particular show the value and care you give to the person in front of you. Gifting a necklace with your loved one’s name written on it is an extremely thoughtful and romantic gesture. For example, you can give your spouse or lover a necklace with an infinity symbol and the initials of their names, and give them the message “you are the only one for me, our love is endless.” Gifting a mother who has just given birth a necklace with her baby’s name written on it will be an emotional memory she will cherish for a lifetime. In this respect, named jewelry is a perfect gift option for both special occasions (such as birthdays, anniversaries) and “I felt like it” surprises.
Different Design Options
Named jewelry also offers design variety thanks to its customizability. Named necklaces can be made to suit every taste using different fonts and materials . While some designs have an elegant look with classic handwritten fonts, others have a modern style with block letters. Gold (yellow, white or rose) letter necklaces are the most preferred. Gold-plated options on silver offer a more affordable alternative. Some name necklaces gain extra sparkle by being decorated with stones – for example, details such as a tiny diamond at the point of your name make the design special. Named jewelry can be designed not only as necklaces but also as bracelets or rings. Having your name written on a thin chain bracelet is a stylish accessory that you can constantly carry in your daily life. In addition, combination necklaces and bracelets in which couples carry each other's names or initials have become popular recently.
Personalized jewelry is jewelry that has meaning beyond fashion. When you carry your name or a special word on your jewelry, you both reflect your style and create a spiritual bond. This is what makes named necklaces so special and loved.

Some basic supplies for jewelry care: soft brushes, cotton, and cleaning tools. With the right supplies, you can clean your jewelry without scratching it.
Why is Jewelry Care Important?
Your jewelry is a piece that completes your style and often carries sentimental value. A sparkling ring or an elegant necklace can become dull, scratched or have stones fall out over time if not properly cared for. Jewelry care preserves the appearance of your jewelry and extends its life. Regular care is important for these valuable pieces that accompany your special moments to remain as bright as the first day for many years. In addition, proper care prevents metals such as gold and silver from tarnishing and helps diamonds and other stones maintain their brilliance.
Things to Consider in Daily Use
You can prevent your jewelry from wearing out by taking some simple precautions while using it in daily life:
Keep Away from Chemicals: Chemical products such as perfume, hair spray, creams can damage your jewelry. Use these products before wearing your jewelry and wait for them to dry on your skin. Especially delicate stones such as pearls and opals are easily affected by chemicals.
Remove in the shower or pool: Water, chlorine and sea salt can discolor some minerals. Be careful to remove your jewelry when bathing or swimming.
Caution in Physical Activity: Try not to wear your jewelry while doing sports, cleaning the house, or doing work where you may receive a hard blow. Especially thin chains can break when pulled, and rings can get hit and their stones can loosen.
Store Separately: Store your jewelry in a soft jewelry box with separate compartments to prevent tangling and scratching. Keeping chain necklaces slightly out of the clasp will prevent knotting.
Jewelry Cleaning Tips
Cleaning at regular intervals will ensure that your jewelry maintains its shine. The appropriate cleaning methods for different metals are as follows:
Gold Jewelry: Although gold jewelry is durable, it can lose its shine over time. The safest method is to soak your jewelry in a mixture of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap, then gently brush it with a soft brush. After you are finished, rinse the jewelry and dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Special jewelry cleaning solutions can also be used for gold jewelry. Be careful not to use abrasive powders or hard brushes when cleaning.
Silver Jewelry: Silver tarnishes (oxidizes) over time. You can use special polishing cloths or silver cleaning solutions to polish your silver jewelry. As a practical method at home; put aluminum foil in a bowl full of hot water and add a spoon of baking soda on it. After soaking your silver jewelry in this mixture for a few minutes, brush it gently with a soft brush and rinse. When storing silver jewelry, keeping it in airtight zip-lock bags will slow down tarnishing.
Diamonds and Precious Stones: You can wash hard gemstones such as diamonds, rubies and sapphires in warm soapy water. Cleaning the bottom of the stone with a small soft brush will remove any accumulated dirt. For more delicate stones such as pearls, emeralds and opals, simply wiping them with a slightly damp cloth is sufficient as these stones are more sensitive to chemicals and water.
Pearl and Beaded Jewelry: Pearl necklaces can become dull and lose their color when they come into contact with products such as deodorant and perfume. Therefore, try not to apply chemicals to your skin before wearing pearl jewelry. Use a very soft cloth moistened with pure water to clean pearls. Avoid putting beaded and stringed jewelry in water; wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient.
Storing and Protecting Your Jewelry
Proper storage conditions prevent your jewelry from getting mixed up and protect it from external factors. When using a jewelry box, place each piece in separate compartments or soft bags. Gold and diamond jewelry in particular can be scratched when rubbed together, so it is ideal to keep chains separate and rings in fabric-lined ring trays. Putting a small packet of silica gel in your jewelry box absorbs moisture and slows down the tarnishing of silver in particular.
It is also beneficial to have your valuable jewellery checked by a jeweler once a year. With professional maintenance, the settings of diamonds and other stones are tightened and, if necessary, they are deeply polished with ultrasonic cleaning. In this way, possible stone falls are prevented and your jewellery shines as if it was new.
To preserve the shine of your jewellery, perform regular maintenance. Always maintain your shine with the care products and jewellery collections recommended by Gliante.
