Rose gold - All about rose gold and rose gold jewelry
The rose gold trend is on the rise and has become a cool alternative metal for engagement rings and fashion jewelry designs. To learn more about rose gold, we’ll walk you through its history, unique properties, and basic home care tips for your rose gold jewelry.
The history of rose gold
Pure gold is a very soft metal, so it is often alloyed (or mixed) with another metal to make it more durable. Gold is usually mixed with copper and zinc, and the different carat weights (e.g., 24 K, 22 K, 18 K, etc.) refer to the percentage of pure gold relative to the alloy metal. To make white gold, pure gold is mixed with palladium or nickel and then rhodium plated for that brilliant shine.
The pink color of rose gold, on the other hand, comes from a pure gold and copper alloy. This sweet looking metal was first worn in 19th century Russia and was nicknamed “Russian Gold”. Since then, rose gold has seen brief periods of fashion, however, since the mid-1950s, rose gold has remained a fashionable choice for jewelry designers.
Red gold is back in trend
Rose gold is a beautiful alloy associated with love and romance. Today, rose gold is a popular choice for rose gold ring, rose gold necklace, rose gold wedding band, rose gold earrings or as rose gold jewelry set. While yellow gold and white gold are still the most popular choices, rose gold or rose gold seems to be a good choice when many want a unique or romantic look for their engagement or wedding ring.
How to distinguish rose gold from copper
Rose gold consists of a copper alloy. This alloy can be 333 gold, 585 gold, 750 gold thin. Pure gold and copper combine to create a beautiful rose gold color. The percentage of copper used determines the color of the gold. The more copper present, the stronger the reddish and pinkish gold tones.
Copper is the only red metal in the world that adds luster to a gold piece. At first glance, copper can resemble the pink hue of rose gold. However, copper has a darker, browner color than rose gold. And after being exposed to the elements, copper oxidizes and tarnishes, creating a pastel green patina.
Red gold and rose gold
Although these words are often used interchangeably, the difference between them is the alloy amount of copper. The higher the copper content, the stronger the reddish color. Rose gold has the lowest copper content. Most of the copper is in the red gold.
Common mixing ratios for 750 rose gold and 750 red gold
As mentioned above, copper is crucial for the color determination of red gold and rose gold. If we now look at the ratios in the alloy, the darkest color is created in 750 red gold, red gold from the mixture of 75% pure gold and 25% copper. The romantic 750 rose gold requires a blend of 75% pure gold with 22.5% copper and 2.75% silver. In even lighter 750 rose gold, it consists of a mixture of 75% pure gold with 20% copper as well as 5% silver.
Rose gold - a touch of romance
Despite its soft and romantic color scheme, rose gold is a stronger and harder alloy than white gold and yellow gold. Rose gold wedding rings, rose gold earrings or rose gold necklace are considered very solid jewelry that will give you many years of pleasure.
How can you tell if rose gold is real?
Look for the stamp to see if there is a carat weight mark. Rose gold is by definition an alloy metal, so there is no such thing as pure rose gold. So if your jewelry is marked 24K, it is probably a fake. The most common fineness for rose gold is 14 K and 18 K in Europe.
A strong red color indicates a higher copper content, or in other words, the higher the carat weight, the paler or softer the shade of pink in rose gold. So if your bracelet is marked 18K but is deep red, it is probably a fake or at least not 18K.
An at-home test to find out if your jewelry is fake (but not necessarily indicating that it is real) is a magnet test. If your jewelry is attracted to the magnet, it is false rose gold. And if you want to sell your used or vintage rose gold jewelry, you can easily send us your gold for free and insured. We will analyze your property and then prepare unbeatable offer for your rose gold. Fill out our order form now and order yourself a shipping bag.
Rose gold is not 100% hypoallergenic
The only disadvantage of this copper alloy is the risk of allergic reaction to the compound metal copper. But it is a very low percentage. Therefore, copper is not considered an allergenic metal. If you have a known allergy to copper or have very sensitive skin, yellow gold is a better and safer choice in most cases.
Red gold cleaning and care
Jewelry made of rose gold does not tarnish over time, but unlike other gold, rose gold can collect dust. It can become dirty or dull from the oils on the skin due to cream and makeup. Leave your rose gold jewelry in warm soapy water for 10 minutes. You can then clean it with a soft brush and rub it dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Sell red gold or rose gold - price and value
The color of gold does not affect the value too much. What affects the value the most is how many carats the gold has. If there is an equal amount of red gold and white gold in 18 karat gold, white gold generally contains more precious metals than red gold. Of course, if red gold contains 8 parts copper, while white gold has 8 parts palladium, it is theoretically more valuable.
