Rose Gold is a pink-colored gold that is made by mixing yellow gold with a bit of copper! The amount of pink color will vary depending upon the amount of copper added to the mix. Fun Fact: Rose gold was developed by Fabrege to use in his beautiful Fabrege Eggs!
Purity
Gold is made up of 24 “karats” (meaning 24 parts). 14k gold is 14 parts gold and 10 parts other metals. Likewise, 18k gold is 18 parts gold and 6 parts other metals. In America, rose gold is available in 10k, 14k, and 18k. The more copper a gold has, the more pink! Here are some things to consider when choosing gold purity:
How to Care for Rose Gold
As soon as copper is added to yellow gold, it becomes the pink color you know and love. So, there is no plating or necessary upkeep with Rose Gold!
