Rose gold is a gold and copper alloy widely used for specialised jewellery due to its reddish colour. It is also known as pink gold and red gold. Because it was popular in Russia at the beginning of the nineteenth century it is also known as Russian gold. Gold, symbol Au from its Latin name aurum is a highly sought-after precious metal which is dense, soft, shiny and the most malleable and ductile of the known metals. Pure gold has a bright yellow colour traditionally considered attractive however because of the softness of pure (24ct.) gold; it is usually alloyed with base metals for use in jewellery, altering its hardness and ductility, melting point, colour and other properties. In countries where hallmarking is carried out, small symbols are made to the item which identifies information such as caratage, country of manufacture and company that manufactured it. That would be us ;-)
