Ashleen....not sure if they are real emeralds or not, I suspect not, but will let a jeweler make that call. Yes they are Monopoly pieces. What is rose gold??

What is rose gold??

Maine,
I love rose gold...have several pieces....but after googling pics to show you.....I NEED MORE


Rose, Red and Pink Gold Alloys

It is very simple to produce a gold alloy with a reddish colouration. All that is needed is to increase the proportion of copper in the mixture. To maintain the correct proportion of gold in the alloy, this usually means decreasing the silver content. In the past, many goldsmiths have reduced the silver content and increased the copper content to save cost, as copper is less expensive than silver.
It is not often realised that there are only two metallic elements which are not silvery coloured. Gold is yellow, and copper is red. By adjusting the proportions of these metals, gold, silver and copper, it is possible to vary the colour from very pale yellow, usually called "green" gold, to a deep red, or to a deep gold.

Ashleen...thanks for that..another thing I learned on here... Had never heard of rose gold before, that said, I am not sure if it rose gold or not, will ask the jeweler I take all my finds to for identifying.

Nice collection, you can tell alot of time was involved.

Gypsy...my apologies.... Didn;t know where else to classify them and with them being sterling silver, jewelry was my best guess, so I guess...guilty as charged...
