Gold Ring Rose Special

Buy Rose Gold Ring online. You've almost definitely seen rose gold jewelry, and you might even prefer it to the other tones of gold. But what you might not know is what rose gold is made from and what sets it apart from the other styles of gold.

Rose gold is an alloy made from a combination of pure gold and copper. The blend of the two metals changes the color of the final product and its karat. For example, the most common alloy of rose gold is 75 percent pure gold to 25 percent copper, which makes 18k rose gold. Changing the percentage of one metal in the alloy will change the karat.

Usually, a direct combination of copper and gold will create a robust reddish color. But, a small amount of silver can also be added to create a milder rose—with a little more silver added to create a variant of rose gold called “pink gold.”

Once considered the preserve of 19th century Russian aristocrats, the beauty and organic grace of rose gold is now available to everyone, and in the 21st century, it's roaring back to preeminence as one of the most popular gold tones for bridal and fashion jewelry.

Compared to yellow and white gold, rose gold comes with a few pros and cons. The first “pro,” of course is the beautiful color, which may be reason enough for you to choose rose gold jewelry. Also, pure gold is a very soft and scratchable material, and when it's alloyed, it gains durability to resist damage. Rose gold, thanks to its high copper content, is far more durable than yellow gold.

However, a few things should be kept in mind when you're purchasing a rose gold setting. Rose gold is not hypoallergenic, so if you're sensitive to copper, rose gold may not be right for you. Also, copper is more prone to separation and oxidation than other alloy metals, so if your ring is heated improperly, the gold and copper may separate somewhat in your jewelry. Also, the pink gold variant is softer than yellow or white gold, so if your jewelry is prone to being knocked around, delicate pink gold may not be an ideal choice.

Still, if you know your lifestyle and have a quality jeweler to maintain your pieces properly, there are few choices of jewelry more contemporary and beautiful than the blushing beauty of rose gold, and we encourage our customers to give the precious metal a closer look.
