Yellow gold can be found in the jewelry worn by ancient Egyptian pharaohs and was described by king Tushratta of the Mitanni as “more plentiful than dirt.” It was the culprit behind the rightfully named gold rushes of the 19^th century. It is and has been mined across the globe for thousands of years, from Australia to Europe to the Americas.

This metal was perhaps the first metal used by humans and the top choice for ornamentation and decoration from jewelry to funeral masks and ritual pieces. Jewelry has been made of yellow gold since it became a craft to create jewelry with metals!

Clearly, then, yellow gold will always remain a classically loved and cherished metal in the jewelry business. Though modern jewelry often uses white gold or platinum, you’ll not see a lack of yellow gold shining in the cases and windows of your jewelers.
