This year has seen a rise in the popularity of rose gold. With its warm, coppery luster, it brings a little extra flair and newness to the standard wedding jewelry. Though rose gold has recently gained popularity, it is hardly new or trendy. Once favored in the courts of Russia, it was often referred to as “Russian gold” or “red gold.”
Like yellow gold, rose gold is an alloy of pure gold and copper. But in the case of rose gold, the percentage of copper is not less than 25%. Rose gold is equal in value to white gold and yellow gold of the same karat measurement. All gold is a mixture of pure gold and other alloy metals. What you want to look for it the karat number—this tells you what percentage of the metal is pure gold. Thus 14k rose gold is equal in value to 14k white gold, they simply have different quantities and colors of alloy metals. 
Rose gold is also equal to its yellow and white gold counterparts in durability and strength. Gold has maintained its position as the favored wedding ring metal because it is durable, but not so hard that it can’t be engraved or adjusted. While gold is made to withstand wear-and-tear, after several years you may want to have it professionally cleaned and polished to keep it at highest shine.
