I’ve never been a yellow gold person. I like my jewelry to be white gold. And believe me, white gold is difficult to find. Now the difference between yellow gold and white gold is a layer of nickel, manganese, palladium.or rhodium, about .05 percent.

White gold is not only more difficult to find, but is often more expensive to buy. However, in this day and age of “we buy gold for cash” or “buy gold online,” it’s practically worthless. Yellow gold has seen a resurgence and people have begun buying it and stocking it away for a rainy day. As our dollar decreases, yellow gold has increased in value.

Rose gold has the added element of copper to give it that rosey look. It is also hard to find, and because of the added copper, doesn’t maintain the yellow gold value. My mother graduated high school in 1950. Her class ring is made of both yellow gold and rose gold, a rarity to be sure.

My point is if you’re going for asthetics, choose what color gold you prefer. But if you’re going for investment value, stick to yellow gold. Yellow gold maintains it’s value, where the other colored golds do not.
