Say Yes To A Rose Gold Engagement Ring

Rose gold was extremely popular in Russia and in Victorian jewellery, and is often seen in antique pieces as well as in contemporary designs. You can find designs that combine a variety of gold colors to wonderful effect, such as in traditional Russian wedding bands, and this weaving of gold colors is often quite stunning.As well as its stunning and distinctive colour, another wonderful thing about rose gold is that it is generally around the same price as yellow gold, meaning you can get a more individual ring without paying the earth. The popularity of rose gold remains steady due to its subtle, soft and somewhat romantic hue,For example, red gold contains a far higher copper content, at around 40%, and will therefore have a bolder, redder colour than, for example, 18 carat rose gold. Generally, rose gold is 75% gold and 25% other alloys. For example, the remaining 25% might be all copper, or it might be 21% copper and 4% silver. It can differ.
This combination utilises the beauty of the rose gold as the main metal of the ring alongside the optical illusions of white gold around your main diamond,Usually the metals blended with pure gold are palladium, nickel, silver, and copper. This is done to add that all important strength, so that the jewellery will be durable and will resist wear and tear. The proportions and types of metals added gives the shade of the gold, and rose gold has a high copper content in the metal alloy, which is what gives the pink colouration. which makes it look larger than if rose gold were to be directly alongside the gemstone. It really is a wonderful combination.
