Everything Rose Gold!

Everything Rose Gold!

One of the biggest trends hitting the East Coast in 2013 is Rose Gold. Rose gold, also known as pink gold, is a colored gold containing copper and yellow gold. This new trend puts a real twist on your traditional white gold or platinum wedding ring. Because rose gold is a mixture of gold and copper, engagement rings and wedding rings tend to be less expensive which is attractive to brides on a budget. If we want to get technical, the process of creating this delicate material is called alloying, so rose gold is an alloy of gold.



Rose gold rings can have a vintage or rustic look, which is very “in” right now. Often, brides choose either a white, or yellow gold ring and they later find out that it clashes with their jewelry collection. However, the color of rose gold can easily be paired with silver, yellow gold, or white gold. This new color is not only trending as the romantic, new wedding ring, but it has also started to become a part of an entire wedding theme. Brides are using this hue as a color for bridesmaids dresses, floral arrangements, reception décor, etc. It’s just irresistible!

Celebrities such as Blake Lively, Miley Cyrus, and LeAnn Rimes have been spotted with rose gold engagement rings. Well-known brands such as Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors have recently started highlighting new collections of rose gold jewelry and watches. But it’s not just the big names where you can find rose gold pieces. Almost every jewelry distributor is starting to carry rose gold jewelry and if they don’t already, they probably will be by the end of the year if they’re smart!
