Rose gold, also called pink gold or red gold, is a mixture of pure yellow gold with a higher percentage of copper alloy and lower percentage of silver alloy compared to other colors of gold. Rose gold jewelry has a subtle, delicate color that can intensify with age due to an attractive tarnishing of the copper alloy content.

The percentage of copper defines the level of red in rose gold. As with other gold colors, 18k rose gold is 75% gold and 25% copper; 14k rose gold is 41.5% copper to 58.5% gold. The difference in the copper to gold mixes of different gold qualities means that rose gold jewelry pieces may not match exactly. Deeper, more reddish rose gold pieces are likely to contain higher copper quantities and be found in 9k or 10k rose gold, whilst the pinker hues are likely to be in 18k rose gold.

Although copper is a comparatively cheap alloy, rose gold jewelry is not cheaper than other colors of gold jewelry. This is because its relative rarity makes it very collectible and allows premium prices to be charged. Indeed a particular piece of rose gold jewelry may have to be specially “commissioned”; something which obviously attracts a premium price.

Because of its pinkish tones, rose gold has traditionally been used in fine jewelry for discerning women because it makes a piece of jewelry individual and out of the ordinary. Rose gold is predominantly suited to warm skin tones; redheads and strawberry blondes looking particularly stunning in rose gold jewelry. However, rose gold also warms up any skin tone and imparts a healthy glow especially next to the face.

However the same pinkish red hue which makes rose gold jewelry a perfect choice for women also makes it a less popular choice for men’s jewelry. Nonetheless current trends mean that rose gold accents are increasingly found in men’s two tone gold and tri-color gold jewelry.

Rose gold is rarely found in children’s jewelry because of its relative expense compared to white gold and yellow gold.
