The colour of gold is changed depending on the other metals used in the alloy. Red gold or rose gold is achieve by the addition of copper; the more copper in the allow the rosier the gold will look. Rose gold was often seen in antique jewellery.

When gold appears red, it is typically due to a surface deposit of a thin layer of a different material, like copper, that has reacted with the gold. This can happen through a process called alloying. In some cases, impurities or defects in the gold crystal structure can also cause it to exhibit a reddish hue.
