Historically, rose gold first became fashionable in Russia during the 19th century, where it was referred to as “Russian gold” since they were among the only wearers of the uncommon alloy at the time. The inevitable spread of rose gold in jewelry can most notably be seen during the Victorian era where the pink-hued precious metal, along with its yellow cousin, dominated. (jewelsdujour.com)
During the art deco ages, gold began to die out due to the high rise in popularity of platinum. Not long after the rise in platinum, gold began to take the lead back in the running and became defined as the jewelry during the war years. This is why most vintage and antique pieces are made mostly in yellow or rose gold and rarely in platinum.
With its unique color and vintage background, rose gold engagement rings have been on the regular trend lists for years becoming more popular every season passed. For many women, getting engaged is a childhood dream, but what makes it even better is when their diamond piece is uniquely design and created specifically for them. Rose gold compliments every skin type and almost every personality. If you enjoy reliving the Victorian ages, a rose gold engagement ring should definitely be on your list of interest. This beautiful pink hue of gold works well with traditional wedding materials such as diamonds, crystals,and pearls. It also can be less expensive than yellow and white gold! ( TIP: GUYS! For those of you on a tight budget, and your future bride open to any color metal diamond piece, rose gold may be the way to go! )
