While we often find ourselves heading straight for traditional silver and gold, rose has been an option for hundreds of years. An alchemical blend of yellow gold and copper, rose gold was first introduced in 19th century Russia. Carl Fabergé, a popular jeweler of the time, began to implement the rouge metal into his creations, specifically his ornate Fabergé Eggs. As this trend’s popularity took off, so did its global presence.

In the Roaring 20s, rose gold saw increased demand yet again, as the lavish times gave way to glitz and glam galore. The lush pigment signified warmth and wealth, leading to its appearance in the most opulent designs. The next resurgence of the golden metal was during World War II, when platinum was brought to a screeching halt due to wartime necessity. Fast forward to present day and rose gold has once more seen a rise in notoriety, showing up everywhere from charm bangles to engagement rings.

Whether you’re hitting the town or a nearby mall, spice up your jewelry selection with the season’s most amorous tone.
