Astounding it is. What you see as sheen of colour in amethyst gold defeats your eye. Christened after amethyst gemstone, amethyst gold beams out a spectrum of light tint bluish purple to slightly dark shade of engaging violet. In gold jewellery amethyst colour is unique. It has no parallel for its pacifying and refreshing qualities and its functionality as a metal serving multiple purposes from personality enhancement to therapeutic recovery.
Amethyst gold is a result of an alloy of 78.5% pure gold with 21.5% aluminium. Technically it is beyond the range of 18K gold where the purity is fixed at 75%. As special class alloy, amethyst gold jewellery is made by jewellers on order and for a purpose. Debuted in Germany, amethyst gold alloy was introduced by Dr. Dreher with a suite of details including alloy recipe, casting technology and finishing method for manufacturing. As a new alloy it has enthusiasts as well as vocal distractors.
Those who oppose the use of amethyst gold anchor their reasoning on two aspects. First the alloy is too brittle due to the inclusion of aluminium and as a result the alloy cannot withstand stress. Arising from this, arguably it cannot be made into a whole piece of standalone readymade jewellery. If one to offset this by reducing aluminium content and by increasing gold purity then he would see the tint of purple colour being diluted. Second, aluminium due to its oxidizing feature could cause skin irritation.
Supporters of amethyst gold have convincingly nailed these critiques. They suggest that by adding alloys including titanium and zinc in proper portions the metal could be strengthened. It is reported that Zinc reduces wear and seizure resistance of aluminium alloys. The addition of magnesium up to certain percentage is also recommended for reducing wear and tear.
Forestalling any probable skin irritation is facilitated by opting for coating amethyst gold over the part that does not touch the skin. Thermal spraying is one of several methods used in coating or colour plaiting. Another alternative is to set amethyst jewellery as an upper part with the bottom one made out of 18 K gold jewellery in yellow or white gold. Still many enthusiasts believe that amethyst gold jewellery is made for a particular purpose and once that is served it can be removed and scrapped. Many analysts are optimistic that amethyst gold jewellery will turn out to be a big success time to come as fabricability of it is improved over the period of time and any potential health hazards arising from the use of aluminium is minimized.
I for one believe, that amethyst gold jewellery is god sent gift for those who wish to improve personality, mitigate weaknesses in health, enhance psychic ability, harness cosmics, augment aesthetics and to achieve a particular purpose, whatever it may be, in a short to medium term horizon. Accentuated with fitting gems & crystals chosen from such fine stones as Amethyst Garnet, Diamond, Sapphire, Topaz, Spinel, Tourmaline, Tanzanite, Opalite, or other crystals your amethyst gold gem & jewellery can make you an achiever.
