White Gold
A White gold is an alloy
of gold and one white metal, usually nickel or
palladium. The purity of white gold is also given in
carats. The highest quality white gold is 18 karat,
and made up of gold and palladium. Sometimes it is
also alloyed with other metals like copper, silver
and platinum for weight and durability.
White gold's properties vary depending on the metals
and proportions used. This makes white gold alloys
to be used for different purposes. A nickel alloy is
hard and strong, and therefore good for rings and
pins. Gold-palladium alloys are soft, pliable and
good for white gold gemstone settings. Some
higher-quality white gold alloys retain their shine
and lustre, most will be coated with a very thin
layer of rhodium.
Chip Gold
Chip Gold is a gold ingot vacuum-sealed in a package
in the shape of a credit card. It is meant to be
used as a tangible and liquid investment in gold
bullion. Weights available are 1g, 2.5g, 5 g, 10g,
and 20g, 1/4 Ounce, 1/2 Ounce, 1 Ounce and the
purity is 99% pure gold.
In Europe, Chip Gold is available in certain retail
stores and from Goldas, a large jeweler and retailer
worldwide. In North America, Kitco also has a line
of Chip Gold. Also one can get the wafers through
auction sites (eBay).
Colloidal Gold
Colloidal gold, also known as "nanogold", is a
suspension of small-sized particles of gold in a
fluid — usually water. The liquid is usually either
an intense red colour or a dirty yellowish colour
(for larger particles) The nanoparticles themselves
can come in a variety of shapes like spheres, rods,
cubes, and caps. The synthesis of colloidal gold was
originally used as a method of staining glass. Due
to the unique optical, electronic, and
molecular-recognition properties of gold
nanoparticles, they are the subject of substantial
research, in a variety of areas, including
electronics and nanotechnology
Skin irritation
White gold alloys made without nickel are less
likely to be allergenic. One in eight person has a
mild allergic reaction to the nickel in some white
gold alloys when worn over long periods of time.
White gold with nickel causes minor skin rash.
