What Is Rose Gold? The romantic pink hue of rose gold jewelry is created by using a copper alloy. The more copper in the alloy, the rosier the hue. Rose gold has the same amount of pure gold as yellow or white gold. What’s different is the ratio of other metals that make up the remaining percentage of the alloy mix. Rose gold is a beautiful and unique choice for engagement rings, and its modern-vintage appeal has been a hot trend in the last few years. The preference of one karatage over another comes down to whether people want a lighter (18K) or slightly deeper (14K) rose color for their setting or band.
What Type Of Gold Does Blue Nile Use For Ring Heads? For yellow gold and rose gold settings, Blue Nile uses platinum ring heads to secure center diamonds. All designs in 14k white gold use 14k white gold ring heads which have the strength and durability required to keep a center stone safe. 14k white gold is a very popular option with our customers as it has a similar look to more expensive platinum settings, but a more affordable price tag.
