Rose gold is a romantic, warm-toned metal created by alloying pure gold with copper and sometimes a small amount of silver. Known for its soft blush hue, rose gold is beloved for its vintage charm and modern appeal, making it a favourite in both bridal and everyday fine jewellery.
How Is Rose Gold Made?
Pure gold (24ct) is too soft for everyday wear, so it is blended with other metals to create a more durable alloy. The colour of the resulting metal depends on the blend.
In the case of rose gold:
- Gold Content: Typically 18ct or 14ct (meaning 75% or 58.5% pure gold)
- Copper Content: Gives rose gold its signature pink-red hue
- Silver (optional): Sometimes added in small amounts to soften the tone
The higher the copper content, the deeper the rose colour.
Why Choose Rose Gold?
- Elegant Warmth: Complements a variety of skin tones with its flattering, feminine glow
- Unique Yet Timeless: Offers a refreshing alternative to yellow or white gold
- Durability: Slightly stronger than yellow gold due to the copper alloy
- Romantic Symbolism: Often associated with love, grace, and vintage beauty
