If you’re looking for an engagement ring that really makes a statement, then consider the rose gold engagement rings Melbourne is famous for. Melburnians are renowned for their creativity and passion, and is it any wonder, with such a high number of Greeks and Italians living there?

Rose gold rings are a favourite choice. They’re described as one of the most romantic styles you could wear. Cartier recognised the beauty of rose gold almost 100 years ago when they released their gorgeous Trinity range. Rose gold sets off a ring with exquisite beauty. Melbourne’s Italian master jewellers are experts at hand crafting stunning rose gold engagement rings for romantics right across Victoria and beyond.

The Quality of Rose Gold Engagement Rings Melbourne Couples Swear By

Rose gold is truly unique. It’s a tender composition of gold, copper, and either silver or zinc. The more copper in the compound, the redder it becomes. The rose gold colour is a beautiful compromise, sitting snugly between the pink gold and red gold colours.

One of the big selling points besides it’s unique appearance, is its durability. As you will know, gold is a soft metal, but by masterfully including a small percentage of copper into the compound, it increases its durability. This means it doesn’t require an extra layer of plating, unlike some other types of gold rings. What are some of the other benefits of rose gold?

Benefits of Rose Gold Rings

We’ve touched on their unique look, but there are many other benefits to wearing a rose gold masterpiece. Here’s a summary of the benefits:

• Unique looking
• Stunning colour shade
• Has a greater resistance to scratching and dents
• Blends in with your skin tone
• Never goes out of style
• Brings the best out of the stones and gems

Possibly the biggest advantage is that, like your spouse, rose gold just gets better with time.

Which Diamonds Are Best For Rose Gold?

As all fine Italian master jewellers will tell you, the skies the limit when it comes to the type of rose gold ring you can own, but there are a few secrets you need to know about choosing the right stones. Some stone lovers avoid step cut diamonds as these draw their light from the base of the diamond, and can draw the rose gold colour through the diamond as well. It depends on your taste.

3 of the most popular diamond cuts for rose gold include:

• Round
• Radiant
• Cushion

These have extraordinary reflective facets that sparkle and shine, offering the most beautiful contrast when set in rose gold.

What Diamond Colour Grade Works Best With Rose Gold Rings?

Choosing the colour grade is also a fine art that the best Italian master jewellers can help you with. They will generally suggest diamonds with the highest cut and clarity, for the most stunning results. On the colour scale for diamonds, stones that fall within the H and I range are offset beautifully by your rose gold. Even better are the diamonds which fall in the D to G range. These colourless diamonds will take the appearance to a whole new level. Obviously, it’s about what you can afford, and finding a pleasant compromise between cost and colour. The best way to judge the look of the diamond cut against the rose gold is to see it up close.
