Rose gold is experiencing a renaissance, with rose gold engagement rings being a very popular choice for many people. The current trends are towards rose gold rings with halo diamond or diamond solitaire settings. Diamondport, located in Queen Street Brisbane, is an expert in creating the perfect engagement ring to suit your love story and desired price point.
Rose gold can also be used as a highlight, especially with pink diamonds to help enhance their colour. Rose gold has a beautiful pink blush derived from the addition of copper to gold, and the depth of colour depends on the ratio of copper to gold; more copper equals a deeper rose hue.
Rose gold is a mix of gold and copper, and it complements any complexion. It’s more durable than yellow or white gold, and even better it’s surprisingly affordable. At Diamondport, we have a preference towards 18 carat rose gold. It has a lower proportion of copper, a lighter pink colour and relatively hard wearing nature. 14 carat rose gold has relatively more copper and therefore is a deeper red shade. It’s important to be aware that rose gold is not hypoallergenic, compared to platinum which is hypoallergenic. The copper within the alloy can cause allergies, so be sure to check with your girlfriend first.
The pinkish hue of rose gold is often associated with warmth and romance making it an excellent choice for an engagement ring. Rose gold has an element of rarity and exclusivity given the limited range on offer in jewellery stores compared to yellow and white gold. It’s symbolic to the stylish and gives the wearer a point of difference with their jewellery.

We often use rose gold to highlight pink diamonds or pink sapphires. A popular application is a halo around a white diamond creating a rose gold halo engagement ring. The halo of pink diamonds or pink sapphires is set in rose gold which makes the pink diamonds look a lot pinker.

The diamond halo and rose gold setting lend a vintage glamour. These versatile rings have equal appeal as an engagement ring or lavish dress ring.
Two-tone rose gold rings, which are rose gold and white gold are also an excellent choice. A rose band with white diamonds set in 18 carat white gold as the white metal accentuates the size of the stone.
Not at all! Traditional thinking might be that rose gold suits fair complexions, whereas white gold flatters darker complexions. Sure, we agree with that, but we feel that you should wear the jewellery you love best and many girls with even the slightest tone of pink in their skin wear rose gold beautifully.
Rose gold is shaking off a reputation for being old-fashioned or ‘vintage’, and is being embraced by artistic and creative clients who are looking for a quirky design, something a little different. That said, if you’re keen on an artistic inspired ring then rose gold is perfect. I’ve had clients who want to design a ring that’s reminiscent of a family heirloom or their grandmother’s engagement ring, yet in a contemporary setting.
