Welcome to the world of rose gold – a unique alloy that has captivated many worldwide. In this article, we’ll unravel the mysteries behind the composition, delve into the historical significance, and introduce you to our rose gold jewellery paired with our Australian grown South Sea and Akoya pearls.

The Composition of Rose Gold: More than Just Gold

Rose gold, sometimes referred to as pink gold or Russian gold, isn’t just gold; it’s a combination of copper, yellow gold, and a hint of silver. The ratio of these metals influences its colour and quality, creating a distinctive rosy hue that sets it apart from other precious metals.

Tracing its roots from the opulent creations of Carl Faberge to its resurgence in the 1920s and again today, rose gold has transcended eras and symbolises both luxury and elegance.

Why Rose Gold Jewellery?

In recent years, rose gold jewellery has become a popular choice for it’s subtle, romantic look.

Rose gold is extremely versatile and compliments all skin tones. Furthermore, it works well in combination with other metals like silver, yellow gold or white gold. The warmth of rose gold also accentuates the warmer tones of some pink or peach toned pearls.

Is Rose Gold Real Gold?

Yes, rose gold is definitely real gold, just like yellow gold jewellery and white gold jewellery. Its blush-toned beauty is not a compromise on authenticity or purity, making it a genuine and sough-after precious metal.

The Durability and Care of Rose Gold Jewellery

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, rose gold jewellery boasts durability. Its copper content contributes to its strength as copper is harder than pure gold. Therefore, rose gold jewellery is stronger than it’s white and yellow gold counterparts and this strength makes it perfect for everyday wear. Today, many are opting for a rose gold engagement ring due to this durability and strength.
