Rose gold is an alloy formed by mixing pure gold i.e 24 Karat gold and copper. The increased proportion of copper gives the alloy a reddish hue. Predominantly used for specialized jewelry due to its reddish color, it is also known as pink or red gold which was initially very popular in Russia during the nineteenth century.

Rose Gold

Between red, rose, and pink gold, the difference lies solely in the copper content. Since rose gold is an alloy, there is no such term as “pure rose gold”. Alloys like green, grey, green and blue gold are also created using a mixture of various metals.
