Pink gold uses the least copper, followed by rose gold, with red gold having the highest copper content. Examples of the common alloys for 18K rose gold, 18K red gold, 18K pink gold, and 12K red gold include: [4] 18K red gold: 75% gold, 25% copper; 18K rose gold: 75% gold, 22.25% copper, 2.75% silver; 18K pink gold: 75% gold, 20% copper, 5% silver
For example, knowing that standard 18-carat yellow gold consists of 75% gold, 12.5% silver and the remaining 12.5% of copper (all by mass), the volume of pure gold in this alloy will be 60% since gold is much denser than the other metals used: 19.32 g/cm 3 for gold, 10.49 g/cm 3 for silver and 8.96 g/cm 3 for copper.
The Day-Date is one of Rolex's models made only in solid 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, 18k everose gold (Rolex's version of 18k rose gold), and platinum (PT950). [3] [citation needed] It also is the only model offered with the "President" bracelet in matching precious metals.
Gold-filled is a type of composite material. Composites are formed from two or more constituent materials with different properties that, when combined, create a new material with enhanced properties. [1] Gold-filled material is made by bonding a layer of gold alloy to a base metal core (typically brass, but sometimes copper or silver).

The piece is made out of "18k gold and platinum set with 137 round diamonds", and its "interlocking Cs derive from the cipher of Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt".

Some bracelets are offered with diamonds in place of or in rotation with the screw-motif. Ceramic details and special colored precious gems have been offered as well.
Carat is a weight measurement used for gems. Karat is a measure of purity used for metals (most common is gold.) As far as the measure of purity is concerned the system is based upon a total of 24 parts i.e. 24K gold is pure gold, 18K is 18parts gold 6 parts other metals (which form an alloy) and so on.... 20:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
