In order to give India’s favourite metal a pink tinge, jewelers add a small amount of copper to gold. The rose gold which is then formed has all the properties of gold and can be used to make all kinds of jewellery. Currently, rose gold watches are really popular with fashionistas across the globe.
Rose gold is available in up to 22 carats. It came to existence in the early 19th century in Russia and Russian marriages are incomplete without wedding bands created out of yellow, white and rose gold. When these three metals come together, they symbolize unity and togetherness and are considered auspicious for the newly married couple.
