Rose Gold Engagement Rings

White gold, yellow gold, and platinum are more popular choices for engagement rings, but that's what makes rose gold so much fun. Rose gold exudes a vintage look and has seen a resurgence in popularity. 14k gold and 18k gold have different characteristics. 14k gold contains 14 parts of pure gold mixed with 10 parts of other metals, while 18k gold consists of 18 parts of pure gold mixed with six parts of other metals. Of the two choices, 14k gold is less expensive and a little more durable.

When you buy rose gold jewelry, you get the same amount of pure gold you'd get with yellow gold or white gold, but it's combined with a copper alloy, which provides that unique, rosy look.

Because the same amount of pure gold is in both yellow gold and rose gold, they cost the same amount.

Copper alloy is added to yellow gold to create rose gold, and it also strengthens the gold, making it a more durable, tarnish-free option than a yellow gold engagement ring.
