What is Rose Gold?
Rose gold refers to and encompasses the whole family of red, rose and pink gold shades. Pure gold is alloyed with copper to produce the rose color. The more copper used, the redder the gold appears. A common mix—or alloy—for rose gold is 75% gold and 25% copper by mass (18K). Like white gold, since rose gold is an alloy, “pure rose gold” doesn’t actually exist.

Given the rise in popularity of rose gold jewellery, it is hardly surprising that a growing number of women are opting for rose gold engagement rings. With its delicate, soft sheen, rose gold is incredibly flattering against all skin tones. Made from yellow gold with a hint of copper mixed in, its pinkish hue really comes to the fore when it is combined with sparkling white diamonds.
