Rose gold has been around since the eighteenth century, and it has drifted in and out of fashion since then. Recent times have seen a revival of its popularity, and you can now find rose gold everywhere, from the most exclusive jewellers to fashion accessory shops which stock imitation pieces.
If you’re not keen on yellow gold, rose gold is an excellent option to try instead. It gives a much warmer look, so it complements many different skin tones. This makes it more versatile than either yellow or white gold – yellow tends to suit darker skin tones, and white tends to suit paler complexions.
Jewellery pieces which feature rose gold often play on its historical aspect, and its frequently found in vintage-inspired designs. This is also in part due to its ‘romantic’ appearance – it has a soft dusky finish which suits this kind of look. It’s becoming increasingly popular to have rose gold wedding jewellery for both men and women. The alloy contain both gold and copper, making it durable and hard-wearing. This means it is especially suitable for wedding bands, which are expected to last a lifetime. It also looks attractive with diamonds and a number of other stones, making it an excellent candidate for an engagement ring.
When it comes to price, it is going to vary considerably depending on the jeweller, the size of the piece and the other materials or stones which are used. If you’ve set your heart on rose gold jewellery, there are plenty of choices available, so shop around and see what you can find.
