So, what exactly is Rose Gold?

Well, here are some interesting Rose Gold facts:

18 carat Rose gold is a distinctive alloy that combines 75% pure gold with 20% copper and 5% silver, giving it a warm, pinkish hue. Unlike the naturally occurring yellow gold, rose gold acquires its unique colour from copper.

The term 'rose gold' is interchangeable with 'pink gold' or 'red gold,' and it is historically referred to as 'Russian Gold,' a name that dates back to its first use by Carl Fabergé in his renowned Fabergé Eggs in early 19th-century Russia.

14 Carat rose gold, with 58% pure gold content, has a higher proportion of copper and silver, resulting in a slightly paler pink colour compared to 18 carat rose gold.

Rose gold is often associated with good luck and fortune and is considered a symbol of romance, making it a popular choice for engagement and wedding rings.

To maintain the beauty of rose gold jewellery, handle it with care. Clean it by soaking in lukewarm soapy water for about 10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush, rinse with warm water, and air dry.
