Stylish rose gold rings for your beloved

Its bright yellow shine and quality makes gold a popular choice for making jewelry since ancient times.  However,  pure gold of 24 carats is seldom used to make jewelry as being a soft metal, it is prone to losing its shape. To overcome this  weakness and to improve its strength for jewelry, a metal alloys with gold before use. The nature of the alloy, its color and the relative amount of it determine the properties and color of the resultant gold. Copper is the prettiest metal alloy of gold as it has a rich reddish brown color which gives a remarkable tint to the resultant gold. This alloyed gold is called Rose gold. 

Rose gold  diamond wedding sets and engagement rings are an excellent choice for a long lasting everyday wear wedding ring. Another advantage of using a rose gold ring is that it will maintain its radiant color for the lifetime of the ring.
