Rose Gold Engagement Rings – Durable, Affordable, and Complimentary

Many women are choosing rose gold engagement rings instead of the more traditional platinum or white gold because it is very durable, affordable and complimentary to many skin tones.

Rose Gold is a gold and copper alloy and unlike white gold, does not require any ongoing maintenance in rhodium plating. Rose or pink gold is also much cheaper than platinum and allows for greater cost savings when paired with a near colorless (G, H, I, and J) or warmer Cape color diamond (K, L, M, etc.).

Many people prefer rose gold’s softer color as it compliments many different kinds of skin tones and tends to look luxurious without being overly obvious. Popular jewelry designers including Danhov, Verragio and Vatche are also taking notice of the rose gold trend and are offering more designs with rose gold accents as well as modern jewelry pieces. It’s clear to see that rose gold is here to stay as it offers a fresh new alternative to precious metal options.

Rose Gold Engagement Rings Offer A Fresh Sweet Look To Old Favorites

Many people love the classic and traditional engagement rings that stand the test of time. These old favorites get a fresh sweet look when set in rose gold. For example, the traditional six prong solitaire engagement ring gets a completely different edge when crafted in 18k rose gold. Suddenly this favorite classic looks new again in a subtle and soft way. Other styles with intricate pave diamonds are also softly accentuated when set in beautiful rose gold accents.

Halo engagement rings are still a very popular choice but look very different when set in rose gold. Here too, we see the feminine design details stand out with the added warmth of the rose gold hue. Of course, the biggest appeal of the halo engagement ring style is that it helps to make the center diamond appear larger and more substantial when set within a beautiful halo of tiny pave diamonds.

Other interesting designs offer a modern flair with a bezel set center stone surrounded by a square shaped pave halo.

Three stone engagement rings are always a classic option that will stand the test of time. When set in rose gold these three stone engagement rings look even more opulent and romantic.
