The Romantic Glow of 18kt Rose Gold
Blending the historical richness of solid gold with a soft, ethereal blush, 18kt rose gold brings a unique warmth and a distinct personality to the world of fine jewellery. It is a metal that lives in the beautiful space between vintage charm and contemporary edge, making it the premier choice for those seeking a piece that feels both timeless and entirely unique.
Rose gold first captured the global imagination in 19th-century Russia, where its signature glow earned it the prestigious nickname "Russian Gold." Its romantic palette and luxurious "heavier" feel later became a hallmark of the most iconic European Art Deco designs. Today, in our Valenza workshops, we continue this legacy, crafting 18kt rose gold pieces that are embraced worldwide for their sophisticated, sun-kissed radiance.
what is 18kt rose gold?
18kt rose gold consists of 75% pure gold (750/1000) and 25% copper alloy, sometimes with a touch of silver. The copper gives it a distinct pinkish-red hue, while the silver balances and softens the tone. This precise blend ensures durability while preserving the warm, romantic color that defines rose gold.
Typical gold markings include 750 - indicating 750 parts per 1,000 are pure gold, or 18K or 18kt - the karat rating for gold purity.
