Sounds like your friend knows his stuff, Larry.  Nothing like "Been there 
and done that"!.  When the pink hue was mentioned, it made me think of rose 
gold.  Here is the scoop on that for anyone interested.
____________________________________________________
Rose gold is an alloy widely used for specialized jewelry due to its reddish 
color. It is also known as pink gold and red gold. Because it was popular in 
Russia at the beginning of the nineteenth century it is also known as 
Russian gold, although this term has become somewhat rare.

Since it is an alloy, there is no such thing as "pure rose gold"; pure gold 
is yellow and pure copper is reddish.

Although the names are often used interchangeably, the difference between 
red, rose, and pink gold is the copper content: The higher the copper 
content, the stronger the red coloration. A common alloy for rose gold is 
three-quarters gold and one-quarter copper.
