When you talk about pure gold than it is generally too soft that you cannot use it directly for jewellery, some other metals or alloys are always nearly merged with it to make it hard but keeping it malleable and at the same time easy to manipulate to create designs. This addition of various alloys or metals generates different colours in gold. Black gold jewellery is an alloy of gold and its tradition was immerged from South Dakota.

* Black gold is either a metal, which is a gold alloy that has been created by using black rhodium or ruthenium by electroplating. The result largely depends on the actual chemical features of the gold used. Ruthenium content gives harder coating than that of rhodium content.
* When any electronic or artificial patination process blackens the surface of gold
* There is a way to cause a so-called controlled oxidation of gold, which contains either chromium or cobalt.
* The newest way of creating black gold is the application of a special femtosecond laser that forms black nanostructures on the surface of gold, which are black but keep their shimmer all the same.
