About a Yellow Gold Necklace?

A yellow gold necklace, or anything else made of yellow gold, is a piece of jewelry where the gold content of the necklace is 75 or 58.3 percent. This translates into 18 karat and 14 karat gold. The rest of the metal is an alloy. Pure gold, which is 24 karat gold, is too soft for the wear and tear endured by most jewelry. The most common alloys for yellow gold are copper and silver. Because gold is so malleable, yellow gold necklaces can come in many lengths and styles.LengthsA choker is a necklace thats from 14 to 16 inches long.A princess length necklace is from 16 to 20 inches long.A matinee length necklace is from 20 to 26 inches long. In the case of a yellow gold necklace, this necklace will probably have multiple strands.A bib necklace is made of three or more concentric strands. A very clever jeweler can make an attractive necklace that has strands made of different types of chains.ChainsThere are several types of chain necklaces. Some are plain, but others can be bought with stations or pendants. There's the cable chain necklace, which is flattened chains linked together, the wheat chain, where the metal is fashioned in a way that it resembles the flower clusters of wheat, chainmail, which recalls the chainmail in a knights armor, and the serpentine chain, where the metal is interlocked like the scales on a snakes belly. A serpentine chain resembles a herringbone chain, which mimics the way the bones of a herring are arranged. A rolo chain resembles a cable chain, except the links are rounder. A rope chain is made to look like the twists of a rope, and a box or Venetian chain is a series of small, linked boxes. The links in the chains can be tiny and delicate, or quite large and showy.BeadsThe yellow gold necklace can also come in beads that are of uniform size or graduated. The beads can be square, triangular, round, or in the shape of rondelles. They can come in the shape of leaves or shells, and can be filigreed, hammered, or stamped into the shapes of spirals or melons.
