Rose Gold Jewellery: What It Is and How It Wears

Figaro Tres Bracelet 14ct Gold — 0.40 mm

Rose gold is gold alloyed with copper. The copper gives the pink colour, and the more of it there is, the deeper the blush. It is not a coating: the colour runs all the way through the metal and cannot wear off.

How to read the mark

Look for the same 375, 585 or 750 as yellow gold, because the carat is what is measured. The mark is struck by an independent assay office, not by the maker, so it is the one part of a piece of jewellery you do not have to take on trust.

Living with it

Rose gold is slightly harder than yellow gold of the same carat, thanks to the copper. Soap and warm water is enough; avoid chlorine, which attacks the copper over time.

Who it suits

It flatters warm and olive skin especially well, and it sits comfortably next to both silver and yellow gold when layered.

There are 47 pieces in rose gold in the shop at the moment, from £34 to £1,640. A few of them are below; the rest are in the rose gold section.

How we make and mark it

Every piece here is made for ONLYWAY JEWELRY in London and, where the law requires it, hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The hallmark is not decoration: it is an independent test of the metal, struck by an assay office rather than by the maker. What the marks mean.

Questions

Is rose gold hallmarked?

Yes, wherever the weight of the piece puts it above the statutory threshold. Look for the same 375, 585 or 750 as yellow gold, because the carat is what is measured.

How do I look after it?

Rose gold is slightly harder than yellow gold of the same carat, thanks to the copper. Soap and warm water is enough; avoid chlorine, which attacks the copper over time.

Does it suit sensitive skin?

Most people wear it without trouble. If your skin reacts to jewellery generally, platinum or higher-carat gold is the safer choice, as both contain less alloy.
