Fashion fades, style is eternal.
Run for the Roses
Rose gold, a blend of pure yellow gold, copper, and silver, was first used in early 19th century Russia by the famed jeweler Carl Fabergé in his famous Fabergé Eggs. Cartier catapulted the alloy’s popularity in the 1920s with the launch of its “Trinity Ring,” featuring mobile bands of intertwined platinum, yellow, and rose gold. Designed by Louis Cartier in 1924, the piece was commissioned by French poet and playwright Jean Cocteau, who frequently wore two stacked on his pinkie finger. With its distinctive pink hue, rose gold displays both vintage charm and modern chic, and it is popular today for its versatility in complementing various skin tones and gemstones.
