All about rose gold: composition and manufacture

5.1.2022

Rose gold is an emerging trend for wedding rings, rivaling white gold and platinum for its unique color. Unlike neutral shades, it offers an originality prized by brides and grooms. Increasingly popular, rose gold is becoming a jewelry classic. Find out all about this fashionable alloy in this article and let yourself be seduced by its timeless charm.

What is rose gold?

Rose gold does not exist in its pure state.The blend of several metals is what gives it its beautiful color and strength needed for jewelry. In general, it's made up of 75% fine (yellow) gold, to which 20% copper and 5% silver are added to achieve a pink-colored finish. But this blend can vary to obtain a more or less pronounced pink. In some cases, we can even talk about red gold.

Why choose rose gold for bridal jewelry?

Reason number 1 will surely be because you want "special" wedding rings.It's important that the rings you wear on your finger don't resemble those of every other couple. As a unique couple, it's essential to select wedding rings that reflect your individuality.

The second great advantage of rose gold is that it is extremely resistant. It is both precious and solid, like 750 thousandths white and yellow gold (18 carats, i.e. 75% pure gold).When selecting wedding rings, it is important to consider that it will platina instead of scratch or wear. After all, you will be wearing your jewelry on a daily basis. Without having to wash dishes or do DIY with them, your wedding rings will "satanize" and wear down with wear and tear. Rose gold ensures that the ring you choose stays beautiful and doesn't fade (or scratch!) too quickly. Just like your love.

As for stones, a rose gold setting will stand out more if it features a diamond, ruby, pink sapphire, garnet, amethyst or rhodonite. After all, as always, it's a matter of taste.
