what is rose gold

Rose gold is a gold alloy that is made by blending pure 24 karat yellow gold with copper and silver. The addition of copper and silver helps strengthen the rose gold and gives it its signature pink hue. The depth of the pink color depends on the ratio of yellow gold to copper, with a higher copper content resulting in a more reddish rose color. Rose gold has been increasingly popular in jewelry, especially in engagement rings, due to its warm, pinkish hue that complements many gemstones. It was first used in early 19th century Russia and later gained popularity in the United States during the 1920s. Today, rose gold is beloved for its ability to complement every skin tone and is widely available in both engagement rings and fine jewelry selections
