History: They mined gold in Nubia around 2450 BC. An Egyptian alchemist named Zosimos was the first to find pure gold (24 centuries before Columbus reached the Americas). The discovery of gold is attributed to the ancient Egyptians, who made jewelry out of gold.

Rose gold was first used in early 19th century Russia by the famed jeweler Carl Faberge in his famous Faberge Eggs, as was known as Russian Gold. Rose gold later gained popularity in the United States during the lavish and feminine 1920's, and was worn in engagement rings and fine jewelry.

Most importantly, popularly, and universally, the rose symbolizes romance and love. But rosebuds are also a symbol of beauty and courage. Of course, there are other meanings implied depending on context and the culture: desire, admiration, and passion, for instance.
