Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all metals.
Pure gold leaf can be worked until so thin it becomes translucent, filtering through a greenish blue light (the gold reflects the yellows and reds).
Most gold for jewelry is alloyed with other metals - primarily copper and silver - to create the different karats (purities) and colors such as rose, green or white golds.
The different colors and purities of gold offer a richness and variation to Jewelry - it is both beautiful to wear and a very enjoyable metal to work with, bringing pleasure to both artisan and recipient of the work.
