Red gold

Red gold gets its beautiful color by mixing the gold with copper and silver.
Red gold in 18 karat (which is standard in Sweden) contains 75% gold by weight, 17% copper and 8% silver.  

White gold

Just like red gold, white gold is also an alloy, i.e. a mixture of metals. When you choose a ring in 18 carat white gold, you get 75% fine gold mixed with palladium, copper and silver. Palladium accounts for 16% of the alloy and adds the effect of a silver hue to the mix.  

Both alloys with 75% pure gold, reflect skilled craftsmanship and quality in jewelry design.  

585 gold  

585 gold means gold that contains 58.5% pure gold, which corresponds to 14 carats. In 585 gold, the remaining 41.5% is a mixture of other metals, such as copper, silver or zinc. This alloy strikes a balance between the softness of gold and the durability of other metals, making it a popular choice for jewelry that requires both beauty and strength.
