Rose Gold Plating
The warm alternative to yellow gold.
Rose gold plating deposits a pink-hued gold-alloy finish that reads as modern, romantic, and distinctive — a favorite for jewelry, watch components, and design-forward hardware.
The alloy's copper content gives rose gold its signature warm, pink tone. The exact hue can be tuned from a soft blush to a deep rose by adjusting the alloy. Like our other gold finishes, it is applied over an appropriate underplate for adhesion, durability, and color consistency.

Specifications
Rose gold color depends on alloy composition, so consistency comes from controlled bath chemistry. A bright nickel or palladium underplate provides the smooth, durable base that keeps the color even and the finish wear-resistant. Thickness is tuned to the wear the piece will see, following the same approach as our 18K gold service.
