Everything you need to know about rose gold

 What is rose gold?

Just like yellow gold and white gold, 750 thousandths (18 carat) pink gold is a mixture of pure gold (called “24 carat gold”) which is too soft to be worked in jewelry, to which we add other metals (such assilver and copper) ) to arrive at a harder alloy. Rose gold is made of pure gold, copper andsilver. It is the copper that gives it its beautiful pink color. Indeed, depending on the percentage of copper used in the alloy, its pink color will be more or less noticeable.

• Most often, the composition of rose gold is: 75% gold, 20% copper and 5%silver

Why choose rose gold?

Rose gold is a relatively little-known metal. However, there are many benefits that can explain its growing popularity:

1. Rose gold is becoming a fashionable metal. Its originality and special color attract people. We also find it on the latest fashionable technological objects.
2. Like other types of gold, rose gold is a very durable metal. More durable than platinum and thesilver, rose gold is very durable and difficult to scratch. 
3. It is also an ideal metal for everyday jewelry such as engagement rings And the Rings.

Like yellow gold, rose gold will never lose its color.

Where does rose gold come from?

The history of rose gold is very similar to that of rose gold. The first use of this precious metal was the famous Fabergé egg. In the late 1800s, Russian Peter Carl Fabergé used a mixture of gold and copper in their eggs. Alone, coppery gold becomes red gold and by adding a littlesilver we obtain rose gold.

These alloys were very popular in Russia at the time. In Western Europe and the United States, red gold and rose gold are nicknamed Russian gold. When this alloy became popular outside Russia, the name disappeared.
