With roots in tradition, Rose Gold rings (and other pieces of jewellery) have experienced an enormous burst in popularity over recent years. It has even become the colour of choice in accessories, clothing and home decor.
Rose Gold is essentially gold with a hint of a reddish rose colour. This brings warmth, romance and a gentle softening to the more bright and sometimes brash yellow gold rings. It is sometimes seen as in between yellow gold and white gold.Â
Rose Gold began to be used for jewellery in the mid to late 19th century. It remained popular for a period but then fell out of fashion while people began to try platinum and white gold. Then in the 1940’s, particularly at the beginning of WW2, people turned to Rose Gold again. This was partly due to the fact that platinum and other strong metals were required for the war effort.
Since that time, Rose Gold has become established as a popular choice in ring colour. Rose Gold rings are now often referred to as vintage or even antique.
For a wedding band, Rose Gold is romantic, subtle and soothing. For a statement ring, Rose Gold has vintage appeal as well as having understated charm and elegance.
