With an alluring glow, incredible durability and easy care, gold is a popular choice for all kinds of jewelry. In fact, it’s been used in necklaces, engagement rings, earrings and other fine jewelry for centuries. While pure gold brings a yellow tone, there are many different types of gold in a variety of shades. 

So, how many types of gold are there? In the jewelry world, there are three main gold types: yellow gold, rose gold and white gold. These different types of gold are created when pure gold is alloyed with additional metals to increase its durability and change its appearance. Other less popular gold types include green and black shades. 

The rose, yellow and white shades of gold are the most popular for jewelry. Ready to find your fit? Take our quiz and go for the gold that’s right for you!
