Rose Gold

A recent article in the New York Times declared that rose gold is the new preferred metal for high fashion jewelers, who find it a more discrete and softer alternative to traditional yellow gold. Turtle Love Co. has been an admirer of rose gold’s warm color for a while now and we offer a number of items in rose gold on our website. The color of rose gold is created by it being alloyed (mixed) with copper. In the case of 18K rose gold, the content usually equals 75% pure gold and 25% copper to create a pleasant slightly pink hue. Because of this mixing of metals, rose gold has a unique feeling of being both modern and traditional. With that idea in mind, we’ve put together a selection of wedding and engagement rings from our website that embody both the new and old feeling of this beautiful metal.

The rings that most exemplify the modern side of rose gold are made for us by San Francisco artist Jeannie Hwang. These rose gold wedding rings draw inspiration from the structures found in our solar system and use diamonds to conjure scenes of a solar flare or a constellation just starting to shine through a cloudless sky at sunset. The minimalist aesthetic of these pieces helps to highlight the beauty of the materials.

The softer side of rose gold taps into the natural shapes here on earth. When paired with specific textures, the gold can help turn a ring into a gently twisted tree branch or a swift river reflecting the morning sun’s rays. Our Diamond Vine Engagement Ring (seen here with our Rose Gold Vine Ring with Diamonds) is created by California artist Midori Ferris Wayne. Our Rose Gold Diamond Bouquet Engagement Ring is handcrafted by Dahlia Kanner in her studio in Rhode Island.
