The rose gold story
First used in early 19th century Russia, rose gold became popular after jeweller Carl Faberge used the metal in his famed Faberge Eggs. Thus, this pretty copper-toned alloy of gold became known as “Russian Gold” in the 1920s and skyrocketed in jewellery trends worldwide.
Inspired, French watchmaker and jeweller Cartier also created a line of dazzling rose gold jewellery paired with diamonds and various types of gemstones. The famed “Trinity Ring” by Cartier was a beautiful yet simple gold band in three tones – one in yellow gold, one in white gold and one in rose gold.
Rose gold jewellery: Is it the same as solid gold?
Yes!
Rose gold is real solid gold and just as valuable. Rose gold jewellery will last forever because it’s gold all the way. Rose gold is more durable than pure 24-karat gold and more resistant to scratching or damage. Rose gold jewellery is on trend and used for earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets and rings.
Like white gold, rose gold is an alloy of pure gold
Rose gold jewellery is crafted from a blend of 24-karat gold, copper, and silver. Pure, 24-karat, yellow gold is too soft for use in wearable jewellery and is therefore blended with other metals to create a tougher and more durable alloy. Copper, zinc and silver give the pure metal, the strength and durability required for jewellery, adding a different hue to the yellow metal.
The most common alloy of pure gold that makes up 18K rose gold is 75 per cent pure gold to 25 per cent copper. The deeper the rose gold colour, the more copper has been used, with 14K rose gold being a reddish-gold colour, while 18 karat rose gold is a softer champagne pink.
Rose gold women’s jewellery styling tips
The distinct rosy blush of rose gold has given it a trendy expression in contrast to the traditional yellow gold. Much sought after by contemporary women, rose gold jewellery, both plain and gemstone-studded, has gained in popularity and can be worn with any outfit for any occasion. Likewise, rose gold has found its place in distinctive workplace jewellery that shines with understated, yet timeless, luxury.
Rose gold rings:Stacking with different hues of yellow gold
Rose gold rings can easily be styled with other metals to add a varied colour dimension to everyday looks. Including another colour dimension to the standard yellow and white gold, rose gold allows designers to craft beautiful fusion pieces, with interlocking yellow, white, and rose gold bands. Stacking rings made of rose gold with yellow gold, white gold, or both are trending now. The rings may be plain or set with gemstones such as diamonds, pearls or gemstones.
Rose gold bracelets with gemstone-studded vibrant jewellery
Two or more rose gold bracelets stacked with those made of yellow and white gold give you a chic look. A popular choice is to stack slim and delicate bracelets, like a chain bracelet, or broad, ones, like a cuff bracelet in varied hues of gold, diamond-studded or bejewelled with pretty pastel-coloured stones or vivid, bright gems. Other irresistible designs include fluid organic shapes in matt or polished rose gold, evoking the beauty and spirit of nature.
Silver and rose gold jewellery
Silver and rose gold jewellery blend beautifully. Stack sterling silver rings with rose gold bands for an eclectic look. Bangles in sterling silver and rose gold are a great way to mix it up, and layered necklaces in silver and rose gold create depth and visual interest. Our designers also fuse different coloured metals in sleek, minimalist, unisex fusion rings for contrast and impact.
