Yellow gold jewelry

Yellow gold is a noble, timeless metal, a symbol of warmth and prestige. In 18K (750 gold), it offers lasting radiance and resists oxidation perfectly.

In fine jewellery, it flatters all skin tones and enhances both diamonds and coloured gemstones beautifully. A yellow gold piece, whether a ring, bracelet or necklace, represents both an aesthetic and heritage choice, retaining its value over time. It is a secure investment and a precious legacy to pass down.

18K gold, or 750 gold, contains 75% pure gold, giving it great resilience and intense lustre. 9K gold, or 375 gold, contains 37.5% pure gold, alloyed with other metals for added strength and a more accessible price point.

Both offer an elegant finish, but 18K gold is favoured for its purity, durability and superior ability to preserve the beauty of set gemstones, such as diamonds or sapphires.

To preserve the brilliance of your yellow gold jewellery, clean it regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry with a non-abrasive cloth.

Avoid prolonged contact with chemicals (perfumes, chlorine, detergents) that can tarnish the metal. Store it in its case or a soft pouch to prevent scratches. Occasional professional polishing restores its original lustre and allows your jeweller to check the security of settings.

Yellow gold is a relatively soft metal, especially in 18K, which can lead to micro-scratches with wear. However, these surface marks do not compromise the piece's integrity and can be easily polished by a professional.

Wearing your yellow gold jewellery with care, avoiding impacts and storing it properly helps maintain its smooth, brilliant appearance longer, while developing a natural patina over time.

Yes, yellow gold flatters all skin tones thanks to its warm, luminous hue. It provides refined contrast against fair skin and a sun-kissed glow on medium to deep complexions.

Whether you choose a diamond ring, a pendant necklace or earrings, yellow gold brings universal elegance, suited to both classic styles and contemporary looks.

Yes, yellow gold blends harmoniously with white gold or rose gold, creating two-tone or tri-colour jewellery with original design. This combination allows you to play with colour contrasts and bring a modern touch to classic pieces.

For example, a wedding band combining yellow gold and white gold highlights diamonds beautifully, while a bracelet pairing yellow gold and rose gold reveals subtle, sophisticated charm.

Yellow gold particularly enhances diamonds, whose brilliance contrasts with the warmth of the metal, but also coloured stones such as sapphire, ruby or emerald.

Pearls, white or golden, also create an elegant marriage with yellow gold. Each combination offers a unique effect: classic and luminous with diamonds, regal with sapphire, passionate with ruby, or vibrant and natural with emerald.

Yes, an 18K yellow gold piece is perfectly suited to daily wear, thanks to its resistance to oxidation and its durability. It retains its colour and lustre even when worn every day, provided you care for it properly and avoid activities that risk damaging the metal.

Yellow gold rings, bracelets and necklaces can thus complement your everyday outfits and evening looks with equal elegance.

Pure gold is hypoallergenic, but in 18K or 9K gold, alloyed metals can sometimes cause reactions in very sensitive skin.

However, Mayuri Paris jewellery is crafted with high-quality alloys, meeting European standards and minimising any risk of allergy. If you have sensitive skin, choose 750 gold, which is purer and therefore gentler on the skin.

Since antiquity, yellow gold has been associated with wealth, power and eternity. Its solar hue symbolises warmth, prosperity and light.

Giving a yellow gold jewellery piece conveys a message of value and permanence, whether it's an engagement ring, a Valentine's necklace or a bracelet marking an anniversary. It is a choice filled with emotion and tradition.

Yellow gold does not oxidise, but may lose some lustre due to the accumulation of micro-scratches and impurities. Simple regular cleaning and occasional polishing are sufficient to restore its full brilliance.

Its colour, however, remains intact through the years, making each yellow gold jewellery piece a faithful, timeless companion.

Yellow gold is the most traditional metal in fine jewellery, valued for its natural beauty, resilience and ability to enhance precious stones.

Its warm hue evokes classic elegance and transcends eras without losing its appeal. It adapts equally well to modern creations and designs inherited from haute joaillerie, making each piece precious and timeless.
