Choosing a Gold at The North Way Studio
Choosing a Gold: A Smidgen of Magic Alongside Reclaimed and Refined Fine Gold
Every talisman at The North Way Studio is created with reclaimed, domestically refined fine gold, in 14 karat and 18 karat. We never use gold plating over base metals, and we forgo white rhodium plating altogether, so the natural hue of each white gold can shine.
What follows is a small field guide to the golds we work in. Each carries its own light, its own temperament, and its own way of keeping company with a stone.
Reclaimed 14 karat white gold
A mist-laced hue, with the faintest touch of warmth without rhodium plating. Classical and charming, an ideal companion to colored jewels and cooler graded center diamonds. Our alloy does contain nickel, so we recommend platinum or palladium for those with sensitivities.
Reclaimed 14 karat yellow gold
The soft glow of a meadow at dawn - a warmth awakening, but not quite as saturated as its sister at noon, 18 karat yellow gold. Lovely cocooned against any colored jewel, warmer diamonds, or cooler diamonds.
Reclaimed 14 karat rose gold
With a blush of peachiness, rose gold looks splendid against green and teal, as well as warm diamonds or gems. Although seen in antique jewelry, rose gold is viewed as a more modern gold color. Our alloy contains copper, so we do not recommend rose gold for those with sensitivities.
Reclaimed 18 karat white gold
Reminiscent of aged relics, non-plated 18 karat white gold is aglow in its soft warmth. Looks phenomenal with texture such as a bark band or leaves. Elegant and demure woven amongst diamonds and colored jewels.
Reclaimed 18 karat green gold
A wickedness amongst its opulence, 18 karat green gold is incredibly close to 18 karat yellow gold, but with a whisper of something viperous. Weave about any jewel to lace it with shadow and forgotten tales.
