Rose gold was a shade recently considered antique, vintage and retro. Now, the shade has made a comeback due to its universally complimentary tone and its soft and glowing appeal — a perfect combination that allows fashion to flourish. The pinkish shade of gold has even found itself replicated in clothing, shoes and any other non-metal fashion form.
Not sure how to style your rose gold jewelry? We made a list of our jewelry styles featuring the pink gold and assorted counterparts so you could find the right style for you.
1. Two-Tone
[Tacori Link Bracelet][Snake Ring][CZ Halo Ring][Bulgari Serpenti Ring]
Rose gold and white gold combined create a beautiful variation on the classic engagement ring. The modern style creates a delicate and feminine look that could be confused as vintage if it weren’t for the unmistakable modernity of the intricate designs.
Though the combination makes for a beautiful engagement ring, it makes other jewelry styles more interesting too. Alternating links of sterling silver or white gold with rose gold add a subtle quirk to an otherwise standard chain link bracelet or necklace.
2. The Stacking Trend
[Cartier Juste un Clou Bracelet][Diamond Link Bracelet][Cartier Love Bracelet]
This is a union of two of our favorite styles — stacking and rose gold. Go monochrome in pink with layers of pink gold-toned bracelets. Stacking is on trend this summer and it’s a look that’s easy to achieve.
To perfect the look, you need to stack with the right balance, otherwise your stack could be monotonous, or worse, excessive and gaudy. The trick is to use bracelets of different sizes, styles and textures. Our favorite is the sleek simplicity of a Cartier Love or Juste un Clou bracelet combined with a dazzling chain link bracelet set with pave diamonds.
3. Watch Style

Women’s watches are sometimes a clunky accessory that serves a functional purpose instead of a fashion purpose. But we dare to ask “Why not both?” Some of our favorite watch designs featuring rose gold are as functional as they are beautiful.
Whether you would like a casual watch for special occasions, then rose gold could be the perfect choice for both. The universal shade pairs well with nearly every color under the sun, making it a safe bet when you don’t know what you will be wearing in the future.
4. Double the Pink

One of the best ways to bring out the pink tint of the gold is to compliment the metal with a pink stone. Stones of the pink variety can be found in many forms, but the most popular are pink sapphire, rose quartz and pink topaz.
