Yellow Gold Jewellery: What It Is and How It Wears
Yellow gold is the classic alloy: gold with silver and copper in balance, so the colour stays close to pure gold while the metal becomes hard enough to wear.
How to read the mark
Look for 375, 585 or 750 at the London Assay Office. The mark is struck by an independent assay office, not by the maker, so it is the one part of a piece of jewellery you do not have to take on trust.
Living with it
Nothing special. It does not tarnish, does not need plating and will outlive its owner with soap and water.
Who it suits
The safest choice if a piece is meant to be worn for decades and handed on.
What we make in yellow gold
There are 9 pieces in yellow gold in the shop at the moment, from £34 to £2,700. A few of them are below; the rest are in the yellow gold section.
How we make and mark it
Every piece here is made for ONLYWAY JEWELRY in London and, where the law requires it, hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The hallmark is not decoration: it is an independent test of the metal, struck by an assay office rather than by the maker. What the marks mean.
The price on the page is the price you pay. Delivery within the United Kingdom is tracked and included, and you have thirty days to send a piece back. Delivery and returns.
