What are some famous celebrity engagement rings?

Kantilaki.com

Celebrity engagement rings are known for having large stones in elaborate settings. Many celebrity engagement rings become very popular and set jewelry trends for years afterwards.

Elizabeth Taylor’s engagement ring from Richard Burton (which he gave to her four years into their marriage) featured a 33.19-carat diamond and became one of the most iconic rings of all time. In 2005, actor Tom Cruise proposed to actress Katie Holmes with an oval-cut 5-carat diamond right. Part of the setting was done in rose gold, which sparked a new trend for rose gold engagement rings over the next several years.

Prince William of England proposed to his wife Kate Middleton, now known as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, with a sapphire and diamond engagement ring that once belonged to his mother Diana, Princess of Wales. Kate Middleton’s ring led to the increased popularity of engagement rings set with large colored gemstones, rather than diamonds.

How is Rose Gold, Red Gold, Pink Gold Created?

How is Rose Gold, Red Gold, Pink Gold Created?

Rose gold, red gold, and pink gold are made from a gold and copper alloy. Since copper has a bold pinkish-orange color, adding this alloy to gold gives the gold a beautiful pinkish gold color. 18K rose gold, 18K red gold, and 18K pink gold contain 75% gold. 14K rose gold, 14K red gold, and 14K pink gold contain 58% gold. The remaining percentage is made up of copper or copper and silver. The varying percentage of copper used determines the color of the gold. The more copper that is used, the stronger the rose color. Pink gold uses the least amount of copper, followed by rose gold, and red gold has the highest copper content.

There is no such thing as pure rose gold, since rose gold is an alloy of gold and copper. Below are examples of the common alloys for 18K rose gold, 18K red gold, and 18K pink gold.

Gold Karat Differences

Difference in gold percentage

K stands for karat (not to be confused with carat, which is the weight measure for gemstones) and refers to the percentage of gold in an alloy. To illustrate: 24K gold is 100% pure, 18K contains 75% gold and 25% alloyed metals, and 14K is 58% gold and 42% alloyed metals. Simply put, the 14-karat and 18-karat system makes it easier for the average person to determine the amount of pure gold in a piece.

How can you tell the difference with your gold jewelry on your own? Jewelers usually engrave the karat on an inconspicuous part of the jewelry, such as on the clasp of bracelets and necklaces, or on the inner band of rings.
