18k rose gold (750 gold): what is it?

The 18k rose gold (750 gold), is the most beautiful quality of gold that it is possible to find in jewellery. This designation means that the gold that shapes the jewellery is an alloy of 75% pure gold, and 25% other precious metals (such as copper, silver or even palladium). Pure gold cannot be used alone to make jewellery, as it is too malleable. To make it strong and workable, it is therefore combined with other metals. To obtain 18k rose gold (750 gold), the alloy is made up of a larger proportion of copper. It is from this metal that the soft pinkish hues of rose gold are obtained! From one Maison to another, the shade of pink can vary from very light to more pronounced, depending on the amount of copper in the alloy. Each brand therefore offers rose gold jewellery in slightly different colours! In order to know the quality of the gold in which your jewel is made, you can check the hallmarks that have been stamped on the piece. The first type of hallmark is the so-called guarantee or title hallmark. The Eagle's head hallmark guarantees a 750 thousandths gold grade, while the hallmark representing a scallop identifies 585 thousandths gold jewellery (which formerly corresponded to the denomination "14k"), and the trefoil-shaped hallmark concerns 375 thousandths gold jewellery (or formerly "9k"). These official authentication hallmarks are accompanied by the master hallmark, which is that of the jeweller who made the piece, attesting to the provenance and quality of the jewellery.

Rose gold jewellery: modern pieces

Less cold than white gold, and less classic than yellow gold, rose gold is a good compromise if you're looking for a modern yet precious piece of jewellery fashioned in 18k gold (750 gold). Today, rose gold is one of the most used metals in jewellery, and is increasingly popular with jewellers. Some Maison, like Ginette NY for example, have even made it their signature! It goes beautifully with diamonds, but also enhances rubies and warm-coloured stones such as pink, orange or yellow sapphires, or ornamental stones such as mother-of-pearl and onyx. Combined with a blue sapphire, emerald or malachite, it will create a real contrast with the stone, giving life to a contemporary and original creation.
