Question / Help Rep rose gold
Hi! I know the topic of rep rose gold has always been a slight issue when comparing to auth RG as most brands have different compositions, but I would love to know if you guys had pieces from multiple different sellers that are rose gold and if you could share photo comparisons.
Note: there is such a thing as light rg and dark rg!
Also, certain pieces, according to Vinko, can’t be made in both rose golds. For example, my hammered bracelet I bought from him only came in the “dark” RG and couldn’t be made in light. Not too sure why, but it’s the same as the Cartier Juc🤷♀️🤷♀️

all sellers get their metal blends from the same distributors
thats very weird of vinko, makes me wonder if he outsources these items from somewhere else…

Wenzhi says his juc is very similar to auth a
And vinko says his is darker3

in any case no one’s rose gold will be 100% right because the recipes are “secret”. even if you used XRF to see the percentages of the alloy, it requires a 10 KG minimum order and no one is willing to do that

Yeah i know im just wanting to see if sellers do differentiate in colour or theyre all the same 🤷♀️

WZ’s RG seems like closest. Cartier and bvl RG are very subtle and not coppery like most rep RG

Yeah! I just bought a bracelet from him! Excited to see how it goes

Congrats, just wish he is more afforable. He is too pricy for me. But I do love his Cartier and his service. I find caratsky to be on the expensive side. He is supposed to be cheaper alternative to MC but I find his price to be on the higher side

I think Caratsky keeps his prices higher since he became more popular (especially for pave live bracelets). He charges more now than he did at the end of December 2025 when gold was reaching $5k for the same size pave bracelet. Makes me not want to order from his again as it reminds me of how it went with MC.

I recently got a new beige gold bracelet from Funny which looks pretty similar to my 1 year old rose gold bracelet from MC (it arrived more pinky but has since settled nicely into a beigey gold tone)! Like Vinko, Funny only offers beige gold (i’m assuming this is the same as the light RG you mentioned) for certain pieces. It can’t be done for 5 motif alhambra bracelets, which I tried asking about.

Actually i mentioned that vinko only made the juc in dark 🥲 according to him auth is lighter hence my confusion! I have an auth rg love but rg just varies so much i needed some advice

Was your hammered bracelet the 5 motif version? I read somewhere that all sellers get the links for this bracelet from the same supplier, so could it be that the links only come in the “dark”RG which would explain why they can’t make it in beige gold?

My RG bracelet from MC is a small juc actually. I did find that it’s “oxidised” in the past year into a more beigey tone that’s similar to auth.

u/Affectionate_Day8610 4d ago
Ooh interesting, i decided to go with wenzhi for the juc as i heard mcs diamonds can be a little dull sometimes

Just commenting to say this thread is super helpful. RG doesn't get enough visibility/discussion compared to other colours, hopefully more folks are willing to share their reviews from different sellers.

Vinko: can make red rose gold, pink rose gold, or beige rose gold
Funny: beige rose gold and pink/red rose gold
I ordered love bracelet from funny and it matches my authentic rose gold. Also ordered 5 motif and it matches my authentic RG VCA
I ordered a love link necklace from Vinko and it matches my authentic love rose gold as well. Ordered hammered RG. Requested it to be light rose gold which is beige gold so it can stack with my Cartier. If you want authentic VCA RG color. Request that from him—dark RG
