Purple Gold - Photo Hunt

Photo Hunt - Metal

When we think of gold, it's mostly shining yellow gold. Purple gold looks like coloured metal and is costlier, but it has been gaining popularity since it was introduced to the world in 2000. This metal's creator is a Singaporean, Dr Loh Peng Chum.

Dr Loh has also come up with ways to forge other metals into various designs, such as layers and checks.

Purple gold is a unique gold alloy composed of 80% pure gold and 20% of other metal components. It has been around for decades, but it was both too porous and brittle to mould into jewellery. Purple is a colour for royalty. ^-^


My husband presented me with a purple gold necklace on our 15th wedding anniversary. This afternoon when I unlocked my drawer to take a picture of it for PhotoHunt, it was gone.... together with a few pretty pieces of my jewellery.


I turned the whole house upside-down, but it was nowhere to be found. I'm afraid it's been stolen. I suspect it was my last maid. I took the photos of purple gold jewellery from the store's brochure because the sales people don't allow me to snap pictures in the shop. They are lovely pieces, the photos don't do justice to them.

I'm heart-broken........... I didn't even take a photo wearing that lovely necklace. *sob... sob....*
