The invention relates to a timepiece or jewelry part made entirely or partially of a material comprising gold between 9 and 21 carat, the material (1) comprising a matrix (2) of a predetermined color and at least
gold particles (3) dispersed in the matrix, the predetermined color matrix is defined by coordinates a *, b * and L * of the predetermined color matrix in the CIE L * a * b * space, the density of the predetermined color matrix being less than or equal to 10 g / cm3, preferably less than or equal to 8 g / cm3. According to the invention, the size of the
gold particles (3) is such that, in the plane of the surface of the material under study, the
maximum size of the
gold particles (3) is less than 60 [mu] m, preferably less than 30 [mu] m, and, in the plane of the surface of the material under study, the minimum size of the gold particles (3) is greater than 1 nm, preferably greater than 10 nm, preferably greater than 200 nm, preferably greater than 0.5 [mu] m, more preferably greater than 1 [mu] m, the gold particles (3) do not have a
plasma effect and are uniformly dispersed in the matrix (2), and the amount of gold particles (3) dispersed in the matrix (2) is predetermined such that, for the same observer placed at a distance of at least 30 cm, preferably at least 10 cm, from the surface of the material (1), the gold particles (3) are irradiated by the
light source under the same
irradiation conditions. The material (1) appears such that the color of the material is the same as or close to the predetermined color of the substrate (2), the color of the material being such that in the CIE L * a * b *
color space, the
color difference [
Delta] E * between the color of the material and the color of the substrate is less than 10, preferably less than or equal to 5, preferably less than or equal to 4, more preferably less than or equal to 3. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a timepiece or jewelry part as defined above.
