What is 18ct Rose Gold?
18ct rose gold is an alloy consisting of 75% pure gold, with the remaining 25% made up of mostly copper and a bit of silver. The addition of copper gives rose gold its distinctive pinkish hue, while silver balances the tone to create its signature blush warmth. Pure 24ct gold (or “fine gold”) is naturally yellow in tone and too soft and malleable for everyday wear, so alloying it with other metals in these proportions not only changes the colour of the metal, but also provides the durability needed to securely hold a diamond in various styles and settings while retaining its luxurious appeal for a lifetime.
Should I choose an 18ct rose gold engagement ring?
The choice of metal is a matter of personal taste, but 18ct rose gold is an outstanding option that shines for many reasons:
Romantic and Distinctive
Rose gold is known for its soft, blush-toned hue, offering a romantic and distinctive alternative to traditional metals. Its warm, rosy glow beautifully enhances the brilliance of any diamond, adding a touch of vintage charm while maintaining a modern appeal. With 18-carat rose gold, you're choosing a luxurious, high-quality metal that’s both durable and breathtakingly beautiful.
Comfort and Versatility
Rose gold is naturally hypoallergenic, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin. Its lightweight, comfortable feel makes it ideal for daily wear, while its versatility allows for a variety of design styles and diamond shapes, from minimalistic solitaires to intricate vintage inspired diamond set or halo settings. The subtle, romantic shade of rose gold adds a unique twist to any engagement ring, making it a popular choice for those seeking something a little different.
A Ring to Treasure Forever
18-carat rose gold is a perfect balance of beauty and strength. Its durability ensures your diamond stays secure, and its stunning colour will remain vibrant with minimal upkeep. 18ct rose gold retains its luxurious feel while offering the longevity needed for an engagement ring that symbolises your lasting love.
Is rose gold popular for engagement rings?
Yes, rose gold has become increasingly popular for engagement rings in recent years, loved for its romantic, vintage-inspired charm. Its soft hue flatters a wide range of skin tones and enhances the beauty of many diamond shapes and cuts. Rose gold pairs beautifully with both classic and modern ring designs.
Is 18ct rose gold plated?
No, 18ct rose gold is not plated; it is solid gold alloyed with copper and silver to achieve its distinctive colour and durability. The term "18ct" refers to its purity, meaning it contains 75% pure gold. This composition ensures it is suitable for everyday wear while creating its luxurious and warm pinkish appearance.
How do I clean an 18-carat yellow gold engagement ring?
To keep your rose gold engagement ring looking its best, clean it at home with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush. Gently remove any dirt or debris, then dry it with a soft cloth. Cleaning your ring every six months helps maintain its radiant shine.
Which is better, yellow gold or rose gold engagement rings?
The choice between 18ct yellow gold and 18ct rose gold for an engagement ring ultimately depends on personal style, skin tone, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. Both are excellent options, each with unique qualities as our metal guides explore. Your decision should reflect your personal style and the design of the engagement ring. If you’re drawn to a timeless, classic look, 18ct yellow gold is a safe and stunning choice. If you prefer a more romantic, modern aesthetic with a touch of uniqueness, 18ct rose gold could be the perfect fit. Both metals are durable, luxurious, and will beautifully showcase your diamond.
