Morganite Ring in 14K ROSE GOLD

A blushing beryl that ranges from powder pink to peach, morganite combines sweet color with flashing brilliance like its gem sibling aquamarine. Morganite was first discovered near San Diego in California in the early twentieth century, setting off a gem rush. George Kunz of Tiffany & Co. named it in honor of his biggest customer: millionaire bank tycoon J.P. Morgan, who was an avid gem collector. Today, it’s still a rare treasure for any gem connoisseur to add to her gem collection.

Rose gold, sometimes called pink gold or red gold, has a softer, pinker color than yellow gold. 14K rose gold contains more copper than 14K yellow gold, which gives it its delicate blush tone. But it contains just as much pure gold content, 58.5%, as 14K yellow gold does. Rose gold symbolizes love. Its peach hue is a beautiful complement to gemstones.
