Pink gold, also known as rose gold and as red gold, has a very subtle and delicate color that intensifies slightly with age. Different computer monitors may show pink gold pieces at varying intensities that are not necessarily true to the actual piece.

The color of pink gold jewelry may show up differently, stronger or lighter, when viewed under different lighting situations: natural light, incandescent light, or fluorescent light. The color can also vary in intensity depending on the angle at which it is viewed.

14K pink gold has a slightly stronger color than 18K pink gold.

Pink gold is created by increasing the copper-colored alloys normally found in gold and decreasing the silver-colored alloys. 14K pink gold and 18K pink gold contains as much gold as 14K and 18K yellow gold but is slightly pinker in color.

We do not sell enameled conchs because enamel is prone to cracking and is extremely difficult to repair, often requiring a complete re-enameling at considerable expense. More importantly, as a local lady says (and she's a Key West native), "They look like an explosion of bad pink fingernail polish." For those who want their conch jewelry with a pink lip that is very beautiful and will last forever, our solid gold pink-gold lips are invisibly soldered to the yellow gold shells.
