Rose gold is best described as the romantic pink tint of yellow gold and copper. It’s subtle blush tones stole the spotlight this year in home decorating, jewelry and clothing. Why not let it bring sparkle and pizzaz to your Christmas and New Year’s parties?
Rose gold history
The charm of rose gold infatuated Russian royalty back in the 1800s. Russian jewelers captured the look by blending yellow gold and copper to make what they termed “Russian Gold” for czars. Later the color combo was renamed Rose Gold.
The feminine hue made its debut in the U.S. in the lavish 1920s, just a few years before the Great Depression hit. In the past century, its popularity has come and gone until its recent fashion leap.
I’ve seen rose gold steal the show at many parties such as weddings, anniversaries and baby showers. The rising demand for rose gold favors and party supplies leads me to believe that it will be a banner year for this pretty tone.
