antique rose gold jewelry
Pure gold is considered “yellow” colored (the color of gold as we use it in common conversation), but if you add different metals to it, you can create alternate colors of gold. White gold is the most popular variant of gold, created by adding materials such as platinum or zinc to yellow gold in order to cause a white (silver) tint. Another type of gold that is not as common today is rose gold.
Rose gold used to be even more popular than white gold. Eventually, white gold became popular enough that it had its own following, with customers choosing white gold over yellow gold on its own merits. Rose gold was especially popular in the 19th century in Russia, lending the gold its other name (not as commonly used) - Russian gold. Rose gold is also known as pink gold or red gold. The way that rose gold is created is by adding copper to yellow gold, which tints the gold to a pinkish color. Unlike other colors of gold, such as yellow gold, rose gold requires a relatively small amount of copper in order to color it - so the purity of rose gold can be higher than that of yellow gold. The highest quality of rose gold is 22 karat. Most rose gold used for jewelry is either 18k or 14k.

Executive Summary By Yaghtin Afshin
A unique twist on a timeless tradition is a wedding ring made of rose gold. The lower the karat in a gold ring, the more durable the ring will be. Different shades of rose gold are created when the amount of copper and gold in the alloy are adjusted. The lower the karat of the ring, the stronger the rose color will be. 14 karat rose gold is often made with close to 60% gold and over 30% copper. Rose gold is not only beautiful, but durable.
