Pink Gold, also known as rose gold or red gold, is a gold alloy to which copper is added to give it a red tinge.

Rose gold or "Pink Gold" does not occur in nature. Rose gold is actually a pure 'yellow gold' and copper alloy that is widely used for specialized jewelry, and is prized for its reddish color tint.
This reddish tint works well with certain fair skin tones, and it has a unique quality that stands apart from its more commonly used yellow counterpart. Because rose gold is an alloy, the terms "pure rose gold," "pure red gold," or "pure white gold" are misleading and innacurate. 14 carat rose gold is slightly softer than yellow gold due to the copper content. Pure gold (24k) is always yellow, and pure copper (Cu - Latin: Cuprum) is a brick red color. Rose gold is a soft metal similar to yellow gold which has a hardness of 2.5 on the Mohs scale, with a Vickers Hardness (VHN or HV) of 120. Rose gold has a melting point of around 240º C.
