Black Satin Blouse

Every wardrobe should include at least one well made, tailored black satin blouse. This is a satin blouse that is to the business wardrobe, what the little black dress is to the dating scene. Your black satin blouse is something that can be paired with a nice pair of slacks or a skirt to the office everyday. On casual days you can pair the same black satin blouse with your favorite pair of jeans for a look that is both casual and professional. Nothing looks as good when paired with a black satin blouse as white gold.

When it is mined gold it is always yellow in color, miners don't strike veins of yellow, pink, and white gold. All the gold that the miners find is yellow.

Gold, in its pure form, is extremely soft, not even remotely suitable for jewelry. In order to create jewelry from the precious mineral jewelry manufactures use an alloy that (a recipe that uses copper silver and gold) strengthens the gold. Once the gold has been strengthened it can be used to make jewelry. The alloy that the jewelry manufactures use is what determines color of the gold.

White gold is created when the jeweler adds a bleaching element to the gold alloy. Once the bleaching element has been added the gold turns to a non-descript color, not really the yellow color that is commonly associated with gold, but really a true white, the bleached gold is somewhere in between. There are actually two different shades of white gold. Jewelry that is made out Palladium white gold has a gray shade while jewelry created with Nickel white gold has a yellow tinge. When considering a piece of white gold jewelry it is important to remember that there could be some subtle changing in the gold’s tinting as the jewelry ages.

When you are purchasing a piece of white gold jewelry to wear with your black satin blouse try to buy the piece from a jeweler that has a good reputation. Jewelry is an investment and needs to be properly cared for. When you are cleaning your gold jewelry use gentle detergents and warm water this will help to protect the gold.
