Step One – Choosing the Gold Type

Choosing the gold type for the pendant is an important first step in the journey to the perfect jewelry. Each type of gold has unique characteristics in terms of color, purity and durability that affect the final appearance and price of the jewelry.

Yellow Gold:

Yellow gold is the most classic and beloved color, a color associated with luxury and warmth. It is suitable for all skin tones and is easy to combine with a variety of clothing styles.

Yellow gold is relatively soft, so it tends to wear and scratch faster than other types of gold.

White Gold:

The white gold gives the jewelry a modern and elegant look that conveys sophistication and minimalism. It blends beautifully with colored stones and gives them a clean and bright look.

White gold is more durable than yellow gold, less prone to blackening and easier to clean.

Pink Gold:

Pink gold has a romantic and soft hue that gives the jewelry a unique and attention-grabbing look. It is especially trendy in recent years and blends beautifully with contemporary clothing styles.

Pink gold is made from an alloy of gold with copper, and therefore more durable than yellow gold and less prone to wear.

Step Two – Check the Purity of Gold

Gold purity is measured in karats and directly affects the appearance of the jewelry, its durability and price.

Here’s a quick look at the degrees of purity in gold:

24k (100%): Pure gold, soft and very expensive and used mainly for coins and unique jewelry.

22k (91.6%): More durable than 24K gold, a deep yellow color, popular for luxury jewelry.

21k (87.5%): Good balance between purity and durability, warm yellow color and is a common choice for jewelry.

18k (75%): very common, durable, standard yellow color, suitable for any day.

14k (58.5%): cheaper, less pure, light yellow color, a good choice for those who are interested in gold jewelry at an affordable price.

Less than 10 karats: less common, contains a relatively low amount of gold, very light yellow color.

Step 3 – Choosing the Pendant Design

Designing a gold pendant is a fascinating process that combines creativity, technique and magic. Choosing the right design will allow you to own a unique piece of jewelry, reflecting your personality, style and personal story.

 Choose a style:

Classic style: Subtle and temporary designs, such as circles, hearts or flowers suitable for any occasion and style.

Modern: Clean, geometric lines and unconventional materials to create a unique and updated look.

Antique: Inspired by the ancient world of jewelry, with special decorations and precious stones, suitable for those who are interested in a luxurious and romantic block.

Unique: Custom-made design, combining images, symbols or text with a special meaning to you.

Step Four – Selection of Stones

A combination of prestigious gemstones such as Topaz, Tourmaline, Moonstone, Turquoise, Ruby, Sapphires and more. These stones add a unique splash of color and a personal touch.

Step 5 – Choose the Size of the Pendant

Choose a pendant size according to the neck structure, style of clothing and occasion.

Buy from a jewelry store or from a well-known and trusted  jewelry designer.

Did you know, Osnat Zilbershtein designs jewelry and gold pendants with a high purity level of 22-24 karats due to a number of significant advantages:

Pure gold  (24 karats) or high karat (22 karats) is considered precious and prestigious gold and is suitable for prestigious and unique jewelry.

Hypoallergenic:

Many people suffer from allergies to various metals, such as nickel or cobalt, which are often used in jewelry.

Pure gold (24 karats) is completely hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for sensitive people.

High purity pendants (22 karats) contain a small amount of other metals, but this amount is relatively low and less likely to cause allergic reactions.

Investment:

Gold pendants with a high degree of purity are considered a good investment because their value tends to increase over time. Gold is a precious and rare metal, so the demand for it will always be high.

Pure gold jewelry can be a valuable family inheritance and passed down from generation to generation.

Luxury look:

High purity pendants convey luxury, refinement and style. The pure gold color is deeper and warmer and gives the jewelry a unique and impressive look.

Blackening resistance:

Pure gold (24 karats) is not prone to blackening at all.

High purity pendants (22 karats) are made of special alloys that prevent them from turning black easily. These jewelry will remain shiny and beautiful over time, without the need for frequent cleaning.
