However, on screen it is a lovely pink color, and given how [[item quality]] works as of v50, the material value of the item is much less important than an item's level of craftsdwarfship, since greater levels of craftsdwarfship impart a greater flat value increase, so rose gold can be used to stretch out your gold supply to create more items overall. This is particularly effective with goblets, crafts, and jewelry, considering multiples of these items are created from a single bar. Combine this with a talented Jeweler to encrust the resulting items, which adds even more craftsdwarfship value, and you can end up with far more highly valuable goods to export. While the bars themselves don't create as much value as smelting [[electrum]] from ore using [[galena]] or [[tetrahedrite]], the resulting bars are slightly more valuable than [[electrum]] (23 vs 20), and the recipe uses the far more common [[copper]]. However, rose gold uses far more gold bars than copper, so if your stockpiles are overflowing with copper, smelting rose gold is unlikely to change that, and may quickly drain your supply of gold if you do so carelessly. However, if the only gold you have lying around is already in bar form, and/or your supply of tetrahedrite and galena is lacking, rose gold does still have its uses.

One quirk of rose gold is that it is the same density as gold, despite using a much lighter copper bar in its creation.  If you're in need of a lot of especially heavy items for your [[stupid dwarf trick]], this bears consideration.
