How durable is 18K rose gold for an engagement ring?

18K rose gold is quite durable due to the copper alloy mixed with the gold, making it resistant to scratches and dents. While it is slightly softer than 14K gold, it still offers excellent longevity and strength. Proper care and maintenance will ensure your ring remains beautiful for years to come.
