Yes, rose gold is real gold — just with a romantic twist!





🌸

What is Rose Gold?



Rose gold is an alloy, meaning it’s made by mixing pure gold with other metals to give it strength and its signature pink hue.


  • Typical composition (for 18K rose gold):


    • 75% pure gold

    • 22.25% copper

    • 2.75% silver







🌟

Why the Pink Color?



The copper in the alloy is what gives rose gold its warm, blush-pink tone. The more copper added, the deeper the rose tint.





Is it Real Gold?



Yes!

The gold content in rose gold is identical to that in yellow or white gold of the same karat.


For example:


  • 18K rose gold = 75% pure gold

  • 14K rose gold = 58.5% pure gold






💍

Why People Love It:



  • Unique and elegant color

  • Vintage-meets-modern appeal

  • Flatters most skin tones

  • Less likely to tarnish than pure gold
