I was just wondering what everyone's view on yellow gold is?.
It appears to me that it sits on the sidelines at bit. Personally I wouldn't buy anymore yellow gold and haven't bought any for a long while, I prefer platinum, white gold and rose gold.
This is for the following reasons.
I'm in the UK and before I knew much about gold a lot of pieces I bought back in the day are 9k.
Now I am older & wiser I know that nowhere apart from the UK (certainly not the US) will allow 9k to be called gold.
The higher the carat the more yellow the gold.
The real yellow gold does not suit me, maybe in the summer with a tan but not with my pasty British skin the rest of the year. The 9k colour I found suited me better.
I personally do not like the look of different Karats together, I couldn't wear a 9k yellow gold ring or 14k next to an 18k 22k I would find it clashed too much.
I think the rose gold looks more like the 9k gold colour that I used to prefer.
Platinum is always the same and white gold and rose gold seem to look pretty much the same whether you get it in 14k or 18k.
Just my thoughts is.... Is this true for everyone else?
