Just returned from a well deserved holiday in #Maui. Thanks Rolling Rock
There were lots of tourists and cruise ship visitors that were at the #Gold shops looking at #Hawaiian gold. #rosegold etc. Rose gold is simply gold, mixed with a higher percentage of copper to make it appear reddish or rose coloured. There is nothing special about it. And it is not more valuable.
All karat gold is a mixture of gold, which is very yellow and soft, and other metals, such as silver, copper, zinc, tin etc. These other metals colour the final jewelry alloy as well as make it tougher and more resistant to scratches. As gold is very soft and easily scratched.
If Hawaiian jewelry is special to you, then it is well worth it, as that is what jewellery is all about.
