✷ MORE INFO ✷
Purple Gold, a mysterious, unique and luxurious metal alloy, has gained popularity for its striking hue and exclusive presence in high-end jewellery. But what exactly is Purple Gold? This intriguing alloy is created by combining gold with aluminum, to produce its distinctive purple color. The creation process involves a precise balance of elements, ensuring the rich, deep purple shade that sets it apart. However, while Purple Gold's aesthetic appeal is undeniable, it's important to understand its properties, both beneficial and challenging. On the one hand, Purple Gold's rarity and unique color make it a sought-after material for exclusive jewellery designs, offering a distinct alternative to traditional gold hues. On the other hand, the alloy's composition can lead to some limitations. Notably, Purple Gold can be more brittle than other gold alloys, requiring careful handling during jewellery making. Additionally, its porous nature requires meticulous crafting experience to preserve its stunning appearance. This blend of pros and cons highlights the need for skilled craftsmanship when working with Purple Gold, ensuring that its beauty is showcased while maintaining its integrity.
✷ IMPORTANT NOTES ✷
Before embarking on a project with purple gold, it's essential to understand its distinct properties and limitations as a unique alloy:
-Due to its unique composition, purple gold naturally exhibits pitting and imperfections. These characteristics are inherent to the material and should be considered an integral part of its organic appeal.
- During casting, filing, or sanding, purple gold undergoes a color transformation from its characteristic purple to silver. This original hue can be revived through an annealing process at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 600°C, conducted in an oxygen-free environment.
- It is advisable to steer clear of intricate filigree work or parts that will be subject to external mechanical stresses, as purple gold may not withstand these conditions well.
- For enhanced durability and to preserve its aesthetic, incorporating a frame made of a more ductile alloy is recommended. This frame serves to support and safeguard the purple gold elements within the jewellery piece.
