What is rose gold?

5/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Ever wondered what it is that makes rose gold "rose"? Pure gold (24ct) is very soft, so tends not to be used in jewellery. We therefore mix metal alloys with pure gold to make it more durable.
The three most popular colours are yellow, white and rose/red. The pink colour of rose gold comes from the gold being alloyed with copper.
​
It was commonly worn in 19th century Russia and is again becoming more popular in the 21st century thanks to its beautiful, soft, rosy hue.

​We have a number of rose gold items in store and we also make rose gold jewellery to your specification. Please feel free to email us here with any questions.
