Red gold is a separate gold alloy which in recent years has become more popular for jewellery and especially for wedding rings. As fine gold is too soft for the creation of jewellery, gold alloys have to be used which harden the material and also respectively give the gold its own distinctive character. The addition of copper (and an amount of silver) realises the red colour which is typical of red gold. Wedding rings made in this material therefore radiate a special warmth which fits in very well with the theme of marriage and a wedding and will also fascinate the wearer for a very long time.
