Caroline,
I have purchase 14K and 18K Rose Gold Sheet, wire and Solders from
Hoover and Strong. (804) 794-3700.
I also purchased 14K Pink Easy solder from Swest 1-800-527-5057. But
I haven't used the Easy solder yet.
Hauser and Miller also carries rose gold. Their formulation is
different from Hoover and Miller, so is the color.
My (limited) experience with Rose gold is that it is more difficult
to solder than yellow gold. One of my rose gold solder joints frayed
like lace when I rounded up the ring. So I sent it to a friend with
more experience than me because it had to be sized and welded. He said
the hard solder was very hard and didn't want to flow. One half round
rose gold ring started to reticulate and melt before the solder
flowed. The other one came out perfect. I soldered all 3 with hard
solder.
Maybe the answer lies in the welding v. soldering process. Can
anyone help with that question.
