18K yellow gold 

18-carat yellow gold in detail

Also known as 750 thousandths, 18-carat yellow gold is composed of 75% pure yellow gold - 24-carat yellow gold - 12.5% copper and 12.5% silver. 18-carat yellow gold is the only precious metal that is naturally yellow. The brilliant brilliance of 18-carat yellow gold can easily be compared to pure gold. Finally, the presence of the other two components - copper and silver - makes 18-carat yellow gold stronger and therefore more suitable for shaping and setting stones.

To recognise a piece of 18K gold, a hallmark is affixed to the jewel. It is from this hallmark that the designer was inspired for the name of Poinçon 22. There are more than 5000 different hallmarks in France since the Middle Ages. For 18K gold, it can take the form of an eagle's head or a 750 representing the 75% of pure yellow gold.

• The 18K yellow gold is rustproof. Its colour and brilliance is everlasting.
• It's a malleable precious metal that makes it easier for jewelers to create their creations.

• 18K yellow gold is the ideal alloy between pure gold and other metals to increase the rigidity of the gold.
• The yellow color of this gold is timeless, luminous and sure to sublimate you.

Caring for your jewelry

Although 18K gold is a noble material favoured in jewellery for its strength, this does not make the jewellery unbreakable. We advise you to store your jewellery separately to avoid scratching it and not to sleep with it. In everyday life, take care of your jewellery by protecting it from toxic substances, such as perfume, creams, chlorine, etc. We recommend that you take it off for sports and manual activities.

Our jewellery likes to be pampered, so take care of it so that it will last as long as possible.
