In this article, we’ll present some vintage-inspired rose gold treasures that any modern bride will love.
The History of Rose Gold Engagement Rings
Rose gold was first introduced to the jewelry market in 19th century Russia, where it was often referred to as "Russian gold." It's an alloy made from gold, copper, and sometimes silver. The copper provides the reddish tint, while the gold retains its inherent value and allure. Depending on the mix, rose gold can vary from a soft, pinkish hue to a deeper, more reddish tone.
The Art Deco movement, whose hallmarks include intricate details, geometric shapes, and a fusion of materials and colors, embraced rose gold not only for engagement rings, but for all kinds of jewelry. Today, modern brides seeking to break away from tradition are turning to vintage style rose gold engagement rings because they have a vintage charm while still maintaining a contemporary edge.
