What exactly is the rose gold in EarCandy piercings made of?

The charming pink color of a rose gold piercing is the result of a metal alloy. Typically, for 18-karat gold, the composition is approximately 75% pure gold, mixed with copper (around 20-22%) and sometimes a small percentage of silver. It is the copper that gives it that characteristic pinkish hue. At EarCandy, we ensure the gold is of high quality to offer you a rose gold earring that lasts.

Is rose gold a good option for sensitive skin?

Rose gold, being an alloy, contains other metals, with copper being the main one responsible for its color. While gold itself is hypoallergenic, some people may be sensitive to copper. However, at EarCandy, we offer quality pieces with the appropriate karat (such as 18K) that minimize reactions. If you have very sensitive skin, we always recommend opting for materials like implant-grade titanium during the initial piercing phase, and then you can switch to an elegant rose gold earring once the piercing has healed.

Can my rose gold piercing darken or change color over time?

Thanks to its composition, rose gold piercings are quite resistant to oxidation from water and air, which contributes to their durability. However, the copper in the alloy can react over time and with exposure to certain chemicals, which might cause the jewelry to develop a slightly darker patina. With proper cleaning and care, as mentioned before, you will keep your rose gold earring with the same sophisticated tone as the first day.
