Gold can be yellow or white. Each colour has its unique attractiveness that can depend on individual interest or the style in question. White gold is sometimes preferred in styles that incorporate coloured gemstones as it sets out the gem stone clearly. But the yellow gold is better known than the white gold. Gold is measured in carats and the higher the number the higher the purity and the beauty of the gold. So that a 14k white gold necklace is worth, or should be worth less than 18k gold necklace but it is not a rule set in stone, the cost of a piece will depend on other gemstones that may be used on it. The less carat value means less purity and less percentage of gold in the piece. Gold is a soft metal and has to be blended with stronger metals to stay resistant.
