Rose gold is an alloy, meaning it’s made by combining pure gold with other metals to get its pink colour. The components of rose gold are:
- Gold: The base metal that gives rose gold its value and shine.

The proportions of these metals can vary but the standard mix for 18k rose gold is 75% gold, 22.5% copper and 2.5% silver.
