Be radiant in rose blush.
Rose gold has been a steady fixture in modern style for almost a decade now, initially reappearing in 2012 and still going strong in 2021. However, rose gold really hit its modern stride in 2016 when rose quartz was named the colour of the year by Pantone and the trend skyrocketed. Everything was coloured with a rosy glow from jewellery, hair, stationery, homeware and electronics.
The journey of rose gold:
Rose gold has a prestigious history, first emerging in early 19th century Russia when Gustav Fabergé introduced the hue to his coveted Fabergé Eggs. It became tradition for a time in Russia for the Tsar to give the Empress a Fabergé Easter Egg every year. Pink also was thought of as the colour of romance in the Victorian era and so pinkish jewellery flourished in this time period in general, not just between Russian Tsars and their Empresses.
In 1920, one of the most renowned jewellers in the world, Cartier, released their iconic trinity band that featured a yellow gold band, a white gold band, and a rose gold band. From there rose gold went from strength to strength, being heavily featured in the Retro era (1940's-1960's) until the trend began to decline slightly in the 90's in favour of silver to fit the minimalist trend with monochrome colours.
The reintroduction of rose gold in fashion signals the comeback of warm tones into our everyday styles; this trend has become a staple of style and fashion since 2012 and continues today.
