Rose gold halo rings continue to climb higher on the Billboard Hot List of engagement ring trends. This gorgeous and romantic combination appeals to brides who just can’t quit halos, but want something a bit more unique. Enter rose gold halo rings!
A dose of pink makes everything better, and these engagement rings are no exception. Turning a setting rose gold instantly gives the ring a totally different feel. Whereas a halo in white metal like white gold or platinum looks modern and glamorous, rose gold rings add warmth and vintage sensibility.
Rose gold, like white gold and even yellow gold, is an alloy. Pure, 24 karat gold is way too soft for jewelry you’ll wear every day for, oh – the rest of your life. So it’s blended with other metals to make it more pliable, more durable, and shinier. For white gold, it’s blended with other white metals (like nickel, much to the displeasure of any brides with allergies.) It’s then plated with rhodium, a super shiny white metal that gives white gold its luster. Yellow gold is mixed with other metals to create 10 karat, 14 karat, 18 karat, etc. – usually silver and copper. This chart from Alterations Needed is a great visual.
To create rose gold, the alloy simply contains more copper. This gives it that gorgeous blush hue, and it varied from designer to designer – for instance Uneek rings are a brighter, cooler pink, Verragio’s are a true rose gold, and Tacori’s blend creates sumptuous warmth. There’s a rose gold for every bride! And rose gold halo rings are on the menu for today’s engagement ring eye candy.
