About the difference in color
The color of gold is determined by the amount of other precious metals and metals mixed with it.
For example, 18-karat gold is 75% gold, but the remaining 25% is made up of a mixture of other materials.
In 18-karat pink gold, approximately 18% of the 25% is copper.
18-karat white gold typically contains about 15% palladium and 10% silver. There are also manufacturing methods that use other metals such as nickel and zinc.
The pawn price remains the same even if the color differs, such as 18k yellow gold, pink gold, or white gold.
In the case of branded jewelry, the price may vary depending on the color, even for the same design.
