D id you know that only 60% of the volume of 18K yellow gold consists of pure fine gold? In contrast, Ökogold not only obtains its gold from responsible sources, but also its copper and silver. This holistic approach embodies consistency and sustainability in its purest form - one hundred per cent.
Did you know? Ökogold: Consistency and sustainability in the jewellery industry
In the world of jewellery, gold has always been a symbol of elegance, value and beauty. Many are unaware that the gold in our jewellery is often combined with other metals. This is necessary to achieve the desired hardness, colour and texture. A good example of this is 18K yellow gold, in which the fine gold makes up only 60% of the volume. There is an exciting alternative to conventional gold that is not only consistent but also sustainable: Ökogold.
Behind the scenes of 18K yellow gold: More than just gold
18K yellow gold is one of the most popular alloys in the jewellery industry. However, the composition of this gold may be surprising. Of the 18 parts that make up this alloy, only 10 parts are pure gold, or 58.3% fine gold. The remaining 8 parts are made up of other metals, typically copper and silver, which give the gold its characteristic colour and strength. This mixture makes it possible to produce durable yet beautiful jewellery.
Ökogold: Consistency and sustainability in perfection
In the age of sustainability and responsible consumption, eco-gold is becoming increasingly important. Unlike conventional alloys, the gold in eco-gold jewellery comes exclusively from recycled sources. This reduces the need for new gold mining, which in turn reduces environmental impact and social conflict.
But it goes even further. At Ökogold, not only are the gold components obtained from certified recycled sources, but also the other metals such as copper and silver. These metals are also obtained from sustainable and responsible sources, which ensures that the entire manufacturing process is ethical.
Consistency and sustainability go hand in hand
Choosing Ökogold is not only a choice for high-quality jewellery, but also for the environment and for social responsibility. By choosing jewellery made from recycled gold and certified metals, we are supporting an industry that is committed to consistency and sustainability. It's a step towards positive change, showing that beauty and ethics can go hand in hand.
Conclusion: For a bright future
The jewellery industry is undergoing a transformation, and more and more people are paying attention to how and where their beloved pieces of jewellery are made. The realisation that 18K yellow gold is only 60% fine gold may come as a surprise, but the alternative that Ökogold offers is impressive and refreshingly consistent. Choosing Ökogold is a clear statement of sustainability, ethics and shaping a bright future where beauty can be achieved without compromise - one hundred per cent.
