Rose Gold Horse Jewelry

July 29, 2010 by Alison Greene

Gold horse jewelry is a traditional favorite, but some of our fans are looking for something different — a little more colorful, perhaps, unique and individual. Rose Gold Horse Jewelry may be the answer you’re looking for!

What is Rose Gold?

Rose Gold has a distinct, attractive reddish color, which makes it a top choice for use in horse jewelry and musical instruments. The secret of rose gold’s red color is in the metal’s chemical make up. Rose gold is what is known as an alloy, a mix of two metals. In this case, we see pure gold — which has the traditional golden yellow color we all know and love — mixed with pure copper. When these two metals are combined, we get rose gold, a lovely, striking reddish gold. How red the rose gold appears depends on the amount of copper in the mix: the greater the percentage of copper, the redder the metal becomes. Skilled jewelry artisans often work with a range of rose golds, using darker, more copper-rich rose golds in combination with alloys with less copper — and hence a lighter red tone — and pure gold.

Selecting the Best Rose Gold Horse Jewelry

When buying rose gold horse jewelry, you’ll want to keep three factors in mind: quality, craftsmanship, and style. Rose gold is appropriate in any setting, from the most formal to the totally casual. So your first concern is quality. Deal only with jewelers you can trust. Don’t be thrown off if you hear the terms Russian Gold used to refer to rose gold — this is an old term that will crop up from time to time when you’re dealing with vintage and estate jewelry. The terms are interchangable. Crown gold refers to rose gold made with 22K gold alloyed with copper.

They sought out the best artisans who created the finest pieces of equestrian jewelry -beautiful and keepsake pieces that reflected the equestrian lifestyle.

We chose the name for our blog for 2 reasons. The first reason is because we hope to “spotlight” the relevant trends, horse jewelry and information that will be of interest to you. The second reason we chose the name is to honor the most wonderful horse I have ever had- In the Spotlight, the chestnut horse pictured throughout this blog. She was an unbelievable show horse, a loving companion and my horse of a lifetime!
