ALL ABOUT ROSE GOLD JEWELLERY
Nowadays, rose gold jewellery has become very popular and some people might even prefer it to the other styles of gold. It is a subtle, romantic colour of gold that translates into romantic, elegant fine jewellery. Rose gold, also called pink gold, is combination of metals that create a soft pink hue that can match any outfit. In this guide, we will make you understand how yellow gold can turn into rose gold, how to combine it with any outfit, and everything else you need to know about this stunning and romantic metal.
Gold purity
To understand how rose gold is made of, you first need to understand how gold purity is measured. While purchasing fine jewellery, there are a lot of key factors one should consider before taking the final decision. The design and price are essential, but there’s other necessary crucial things such as the karatage, the unit used to describe the purity of gold. As gold is graded out of 24, pure gold is then composed of 24karats.
18k Gold
Our preferred level of gold is graded our of 18karats, 18K Gold. This type of gold comprises of 75% gold mixed with 25% of other metals such as silver, copper, and other alloys. The 18K gold is durable enough to wear every day, and can turn into different shades of gold such as white, black and rose gold. We prefer to wear this type of gold since it is the one that strikes the perfect balance between beauty and strength.
What is Rose Gold?
You might be wondering “is rose gold real gold?” and the answer is yes. Rose gold is made of actual gold, even it if isn't 100% gold. As mentioned earlier, 24K gold is too soft to be wearable as everyday jewellery, so it’s usually mixed with other metals to give it strength. Highly pure gold is rich yellow, but different alloys are often used to give gold another colour. Rose gold is a combination between gold and copper, in other words, a gold-copper alloy.
Copper is the metal that gives rose gold its warm and gorgeous pinkish hue. There can be different variations in the tone of rose gold, depending on how you mix them together. The depth of color in the rose gold depends on the ratio of yellow gold to copper. The more copper the alloy contains, the redder it will look.
14k rose gold contains a higher level of copper and silver than 18k gold. Its colour is more of a rose pink color than 18k gold, which contains a higher amount of yellow gold.
Is Rose Gold durable?
Yes, it is. Copper is one of the most durable metals that will help rose gold jewellery last for a very long time and maintain its shine. The alloy parts of gold jewellery also make rose gold pieces strong. Rose gold is loved for its soft look and never tarnishes, although it can slightly darker thorough the years, due to the way the copper content reacts with the wearer’s unique skin pH.
