YELLOW GOLD: Gold is a precious metal with a natural yellow color. It is quite soft and often alloyed with other metals to increase its strength. The purity of the metal is indicated by a unit called a "karat," with 24kt having the highest percentage of natural gold.

BRUSHED: A low-luster finish with a very fine texture that looks as if it were applied with a wire brush.

ROPE: Chain links that are twisted or looped together in a pattern that creates a look similar to that of a rope.

SPRINGRING CLASP: Invented in the early 1900s this diminutive device is highly effective. It's a hollow circular metal fastener with a spring opening. This keeps the clasp closed.
