Looking through rose-tinted glasses isn’t a bad thing, especially when it comes to romantic rose gold jewelry. With a soft, feminine look, vintage appeal, styling versatility, and durability greater than both yellow and white gold, it’s hard to see why anyone would be opp-rosed to wearing rose gold. Still, compared to its more famous siblings, rose gold is often neglected in styling guides since fashion camps have been firmly divided into “yellow” or “silvery” tones for years. Your pals at Deutsch are here to tell you, though, that everything goes…or should we say everything rose? Rose gold is flattering to everyone, and its uniquely romantic aesthetic lends it to innovative and thoughtful designs that other metals simply couldn’t achieve. Not all metals, you see, are painted with the same blush.
Rose Gold Timepieces:
At the turn of the 19th century, when accurate timepieces exploded in popularity for the masses, women’s watches were universally designed to be small. Somehow, men at the time worried that a large watch for women was too masculine for their shrinking violets—as if a readable watch-face would somehow lessen their femininity. Now, in 2022, women are claiming their space back more than ever, and that includes in their fashion choices. Despite the throwback name, the 1926 watch line by Tudor is making strides to encourage that kind of modern femininity. As the name suggests, 1926 watches aim to “capture the essence of the [Tudor] brand”, with their clean and crisp design, numeral appliques, arrow-shaped hour markers, and domed shape all emulating the classic feel of early watches. The 1926 watch comes in a range of sizes, with options including the traditional, small dials to modern, larger ones; these sizes should be considered unisex. Our personal favorite is the Tudor 1926 36mm Steel And Rose Gold watch. Romantic, blushing rose gold meets sharp, cool steel in the bracelet of this vintage-inspired watch, creating a unique ambiance of business-meets pleasure. This theme continues with the beautifully contrasting combination of the rose gold bezel, rose gold numerals, and rose gold hands with the silver dial. The elegant effect is polished off with the careful addition of 5 diamond accents on the dial. With a large dial and assertive presence, this rose gold watch is here to allow you to claim your space and time. Shrinking violet: meet wild rose.
Rose Gold Necklaces:
Rose-cut diamonds peaked in popularity in the 17th century, when each diamond was hand-picked and cut to resemble the delicate petals of a rose. One of the most unique cuts available, rose-cut diamonds convey a sense of ethereality and romance with their warm, soft glow. By the time the 20th century rolled around, rose-cut diamonds had been completely overtaken by brilliant-cut diamonds, which prioritized brilliance over carat weight and were easier to streamline. Enter John Apelian, founder of John Apel. With a signature aesthetic inspired by the magnificence of nature, it’s no surprise that this innovative designer sought to bring back the rose-cut diamond, and he did so by combining gorgeous antique-inspired rose-cut diamonds with modern settings. The best of both worlds, right? To amplify the dreaminess and romance of rose-cut diamonds, John Apel frequently pairs this vintage cut with rose gold settings. Pieces like the Rose Cut Diamond Necklace demonstrate just how breath-taking this particularly, well, floral combination can be. The soft glow of .94 ctw of rose-cut diamonds bounces off the shimmering .15 ctw full-cut diamond accents, adding lightness and airiness to a design that any other diamond cuts would simply overwhelm. The soft light captured by these rose-cut diamonds glints off the surface of radiant 18k rose gold and meets exquisite platinum accents that, thanks to the delicate cut of the diamonds and the gentle warmth of the rose gold necklace, subtly enhance rather than overpower. If you couldn’t tell already, our love for this chic rose gold necklace stems really deep.
