The temperature has been so relentlessly hot this week that the government imposed a four-day mandatory holiday beginning Thursday and urged residents to stay out of the sun.

12K Red gold: 50% gold and 50% copper. Up to 15% zinc can be added to copper-rich alloys to change their color to reddish yellow or dark yellow. During ancient times, due to impurities in the smelting process, gold frequently turned a reddish color.
Rose gold is created by increasing the copper-colored alloys mixed with the gold and decreasing the silver-colored alloys. 14K rose gold contains as much pure gold as 14K yellow gold but, because of the increased copper, is slightly pinker in color. Rose gold is available in 9K, 14K and in 18K gold.
