PERHAPS A BIT OFF TOPIC BUT I THINK APPROPRIATE. BLACK HILLS GOLD JEWLRY BEGAN DURING THE GOLD RUSH IN 1876 TO 1878. TRADITIONALLY IT IS MADE IN THREE COLORS. A SILVER AND GOLD MIX THAT COMES OUT A GREENISH HUE. COPPER AND GOLD MIX REFERED TO AS ROSE (IT CAN VARY FROM MORE RED TO PINK.) AND REGULAR YELLOW GOLD COLOR. SOMETHING REFERED TO AS WHITE GOLD IS ALSO USED IN JEWLRY. SEE PICTURE OF EXAMPLES OF BLACK HILLS GOLD IN TRI COLOR.
GOOGLE BLACK HILLS GOLD FOR MORE INFO IF INTERESTED

Actually I think "green" gold has zinc instead of silver..............

Nice pictures though and correct on rose gold.
