Rose gold and red gold – price per gram today
Rose gold gets its warm colour from copper in the alloy. Copper is cheap, so the price follows the gold content alone — 585 rose gold is worth the same as 585 white gold.

585 rose gold per gram
The alloy
The more copper, the redder the tone. Classic red gold (Russian gold) contains more copper than today's softer rose gold, but the fineness — 333, 585 or 750 — is still the only thing that sets the metal value.
Colour does not change the value
When a buyer melts a piece down, only the gold content counts. Palladium in white gold has some value, but it is not paid for separately in ordinary jewellery trading.
Questions and answers
Is rose gold worth more than other gold colours?
No. The colour comes from the non-gold part of the alloy, which is worth close to nothing. A 10 gram 585 piece has the same metal value whether it is white, rose or yellow.
How do I recognise rose gold?
Look at the stamp inside the ring or on the clasp. The colour tells you the alloy, the three digits tell you the value.
Does the plating affect the price?
Rhodium plating weighs a fraction of a gram and adds nothing to the metal value. It only matters for the look, not for what a buyer pays.
