Apart from diamonds, what gemstones suit Rose Gold?
Besides diamonds, certain gemstones work well with diamonds. Even better, a gemstone and diamond combination often works very well. For example, pink Sapphires. The warm, pink hue of the precious metal complement the feminine shades of pink. By way of example, look at how both gemstones work within the Calista ring design.

18 carat Rose Gold vs 9 carat Rose Gold
Compare 9 carat and 18 carat Rose Gold and you will no doubt see a difference in colour. 9 carat Rose Gold tends to be darker and more coppery by comparison. The higher Gold content of 18 carat gives it a lighter colour. For this reason, we recommend 18 carat Rose Gold. In addition, the higher Gold content makes it a more durable choice for long-term wear.
