Can anyone who owns the B.Zero1 Rose Gold pendant necklace or B.Zero1 Rose Gold white or black ceramic Legend pendant necklace give any insight regarding the rose gold? Does it eventually change to look like yellow gold? I'm considering buying one before the price increase in October (according to price increase thread) and I'm not sure if I want to invest if it's just going to end up changing color on me. Any pics would definitely be appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone.
Does Bulgari Rose Gold retain its color?

I own many Bulgari rose gold pieces. None of them changed color.
I have 1 Bvlgari RG ring. I've worn it every weekend for the past 6.5 years and it has not changed color.
Thank you so much! I did some research and saw that many other brands who use rose gold.....cartier, etc....their rose gold, after time, turns yellow. Was curious about Bvlgari as I'm new to the brand and don't own any of their pieces.
I have bvlgari bzero necklace and ring in RG. Wear it occasionally but It still looks the same.
I have been told rose gold can change depending on one’s skin chemistry. I have a Bulgari rose gold tubogas serpenti bracelet and a viper ring. They were definitely pink went purchased. It seemed like the difference between my bracelet and my yellow gold items grew a bit less over few years (I wear it every day) I had occasion to send it back for a complementary repair and it came back as rosy as brand new. Hard to capture the different shades but the first and second pic capture the subtle change. The last is of the ring which I don’t think has changed at all. My other jewelry is YG.

I have read that rose gold can end up changing colors over time due to the copper and one's body chemistry. So glad you were able to get your pieces in for a complementary repair. They look beautiful!
This is actually the reason why I no longer buy rose gold pieces. In fairness, I have only ever owned one piece of jewelry in rose gold: original Cartier love bracelet. I found that over a period of ~7 years, the rose gold started to fade, but not in the best of ways IMHO. I purchased mine in ~2015 and then sold it in 2022 and purchased a YG version with diamonds. Can't go wrong with YG!
The rose gold should never lose colour as it is an alloy (most likely yellow gold, silver and copper), it is unplated unlike white gold jewellery that is plated with Rhodium to give it a more white appearance. I have a 10 year old Bvlgari Lvcea Rose gold watch, it looks as good as the day it was made. Rose gold is typically more scratch resistant and harder then yellow gold due to it's copper content.
I've had a RG Serpenti ring for 8 years, worn often, no change in color whatsoever. Happy shopping!
