Rose Gold
Pure gold is alloyed with copper to produce the rose gold color. The most common rose gold is 18 karat which is a mix of 75% gold and 25% copper. Because it is mixed with copper, rose gold is often more affordable and more durable than yellow or white gold. Like the other gold colors, rose gold is not a hypoallergenic metal and can cause allergic reactions in some people due to the copper.

Rose gold complements all skin tones and has an incredibly romantic feel to it making it a very popular metal.

At the end of the day, there is no perfect metal. It comes down to personal preference, style and budget. Visit your jeweler to try on different styles, settings and metals to find what works for you.
