- Metallurgy Part 7 - Green Gold: Carrera Principal and metals expert Eric Schwartz shares that Green is the color of harmony, renewal, hope and health. For many years fashion designers have been adding green to their creations to help them spring to life. If you are looking for a certain shade of green gold for your jewelry, it is a good chance that Carrera already has it.
With more than four decades of operation, Carrera is the acknowledged industry leader in casting custom precious metals.

So interesting! I've never heard of green gold. Iove it.
Carrera is a great New York Casting house and they do a beautiful 18 karat green gold with no zinc which can be enameled on.
Dont really see the green
Me neither. Carrera appears to be a very well-established and skilled casting house, so if they say they've managed to get a green colored gold, they probably did, but it's not showing up onscreen. I'm wondering if the problem is with the camera quality and settings or the lighting? All the colors seem kind of washed out.
If you place several different alloyed colors in the same piece, the hues become immediately apparent.
Perhaps you’ve seen Black Hills Gold style jewelry? It was hugely popular (at least in the Midwest where I grew up) from about the 50s into the late 70s? The style was a yellow gold cast ring with applied leaves, flowers and berries and often stones set or a cast gold focal feature, the leaves were cast in green gold, and the flowers were often rose gold.
The effect is a very lively, organic play of gold colors and textures. The alloys play very well together. :)
1any alloys to produce black gold? (not plating) thanks!
You could always trigger a copper and/or silver oxide reaction... That would make it pretty black AND be reversible.
@@caveymoley no client has ever asked for this? im surprised, i think black gold looks awesome (ive seen it plated with black rhodium i think) but an alloy would be cool
