About gold

Gold is measured in carats, where pure gold is 24 carats, and to make the gold stronger and useful in jewellery, the gold is combined with other metal alloys. For example, 18K gold contains 75% gold and 25% other metals. Nuage Jewels uses only 18K when it comes to all the different gold colors we provide.

Alloys that are often used with gold to get the different colors are copper, palladium, silver, and zinc. We at Nuage Jewels guarantee that all our jewelry is 100% nickel-free and free from other health-hazardous substances.

To guarantee our customers international standard, the best possible gold color and composition of metals, we follow the international standard (ISO) for the gold colors 18K yellow gold (3N) and 18K rose gold (5N), ISO 8654:1987 and the updated version ISO 8654:2018 with addendum A1:2020. Our gold compositions may vary minimally between our manufacturers but all stay within the framework of our high standard as we believe that only the best is good enough for our customers.

Our white gold

White gold has long been considered the most popular alloy for engagement and wedding rings, and we can understand why. The white gold has a silvery and cold shade that does not give a yellowish tone to the set diamonds. White gold jewelry is easy to match with other jewelry and metals, in addition, our white gold is more durable as we use 13-15% palladium in our white gold alloys, which brings extra hardness to the gold. The yellow tones from the gold's natural color are effectively hidden with the help of Palladium and Silver, and for extra durability and finish, all white gold jewelery is surface-treated in Rhodium. Despite our high quality, rhodium can wear out over time, but of course we offer re-rhoding of all jewelery made by us at Nuage Jewels free of charge for life.
