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?
 |
| www.kantilaki.com |
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.
