Silver is timeless. Gold is classic. Diamonds are forever.
But the new style I think is going to be a big hit is rose gold.
Rose gold, first popularized almost a century ago, has made a comeback!- this article is from the LA Times
The blush-hued version of the precious metal is showing up in status watches, engagement rings, necklaces and more. The feminine pieces look delicate on their own but can also bridge the gap between white and yellow gold when all three are worn together.
Cartier made a major mark in rose gold history when the Trinity band (made of three intertwining bands of rose, white and yellow gold) debuted in the late 1920s. French writer and filmmaker Jean Cocteau popularized the ring and the look of rose gold by stacking two on his pinkie finger, sparking a trend in wearing rose gold and in mixing metals.
Though the classic Trinity pieces from Cartier evoke the metal's history, its recent resurgence can be attributed to the comeback of color in fashion. "The '90s were about black and white and minimalism, and everyone was into silver [or white gold]," O'Steen says. "At the beginning of the 21st century, color and femininity made a comeback. Rose gold complements all the frilly shades as well as all the neutrals this season. It just works with what's going on in fashion right now."
I have to say when I walked into both Macy's and Bloomingdale's last week, both stores had signs advertising rose gold, especially watches from our favorite designers such as Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs...
