Traditionally, gold jewellery has been made from yellow gold. The type or design of jewellery may vary; they may be with or without gemstones. But they all had the same coloured metal, which was yellow. Then came rose gold, also known as pink or red gold. It is a mixture of classic yellow gold, copper, and silver metals. You may think that rose gold is not really gold. However, it is real gold, only not 100% gold.
Rose gold is made of specific amounts of gold, copper, and silver. There is a reason why gold is never used as it is in its purest form. It is because pure gold is soft. It is so soft that making anything with pure gold would not be sturdy or durable. They get easily destroyed over time. However, gold jewellery that has a certain % of other metals makes them stronger; making rose gold a strong metal for intricate jewellery creations. The best thing about rose gold is that the colour only deepens with time, making it look like an antique acquiring a vintage look.
Types of rose gold jewellery
Rose gold jewellery has been trending in recent years and has become more popular. Jewellers are happy to please their customers by using rose gold to make designer jewellery that is contemporary in design and yet has a vintage look. The rosy hue also makes it easy to pair with different gemstones and other metals. The tri-colour design with gold, rose gold, and silver is always a hit with people in different age groups. Moreover, rose gold accessories can be worn with any outfit because of their versatility.
Hoops or drops in rose gold
For that chic style, wear your Jaren Hammered Gold Hoop earrings made in rose gold and make them your daily wear earrings. You won’t need to change into something else when you step out for the evening. They go with whatever you wear and wherever you go. The same is true of the Kavya Quad Gold Drop earrings. They appear so simple in design and yet epitomise class. There is a great advantage in knowing that you can wear rose gold earrings in any design and still make a statement.
Personalised rose gold pendants
Who wouldn’t like to receive a personalised pendant from a loved one? While any metal or design would hold as much meaning, rose gold pendants are just a little more alluring. Their pink hue adds a subtle shade even as it makes the name or initials stand out against a rosy background. Take a look at our Starlight Personalised Gold Pendant. You can ask for the name you want or have it say ‘Mom’, and it will be one of the most cherished pieces in their collection. Most personalised jewellery is meaningful to the giver and the receiver. But, some hold a special meaning known only to them. Whatever the motive, rose gold adds a little more to the jewellery.
Wear rings of rose gold
Rose gold goes well with gemstones of all colours, as is seen in the Azure Linear Gemstone ring. It is a thin band of rose gold studded with blue gemstones, making the rose and blue combination look incredibly sophisticated. You can still get one like the Amy Twine Solitaire ring if you want a solitaire instead. The design neither takes the rich hue of the rose gold away nor the glitter of the solitaire. One offsets the other to its advantage.
Bangles made in rose gold
Rose gold bangles can be slim and be worn in pairs or more. They can also be embedded with diamonds and other gemstones. The Classic Sparkling Diamond Bangle has it all. The Rosette Sleek Diamond Bangle has even more with a few rubies thrown into the mix. It is certainly sleek, but it is also distinct in style.
Women, regardless of age or ethnicity, love jewellery. The only difference is in the type of jewellery they prefer. Some like only silver jewellery, some like plain gold jewellery, and some like their gemstones. Those willing to try new things opt for white gold or rose gold and look for designs a little more daring than the conventional ones. Rose gold, as a metal, fits all groups and can be used in traditional jewellery and contemporary designs. In the end, it is an individual choice. Fortunately, more people want to wear unique designs in rose gold these days, leading to increased creativity and giving us a greater selection. Any CaratLane store will give you such a selection of exciting designs made with rose gold that you may even walk out with more than one piece of jewellery!
