The jewellery guide
Rose Gold – From royal salons to the modern world
For centuries, rose gold has captivated with its subtle glow, where warmth and elegance meet. From the halls of royalty to contemporary jewellery creations, rose gold remains an eternal symbol of love, delicacy, and timeless style. Its origins reveal a story filled with passion, craftsmanship, and the relentless pursuit of perfection, from different eras of history to the modern La Marqueuse creations.
The secret of its hue
Discover the mystery behind an eternal symbol of love. To truly appreciate what makes rose gold so exceptional, one must understand its origin. Rose gold is achieved by blending pure gold with copper. The standard ratio is 75% gold to 25% copper, though in practice, these proportions vary. Depending on the desired depth of color, each maison follows its own signature, often closely guarded, formula.
The Victorian Era and the Royal Sapphire
The first stop of our journey following the history of rose gold is the Victorian era (1830–1901). Rose gold reached the pinnacle of popularity during this period, becoming a well-known symbol of romance. During this particular era, pairing rose gold with sapphires became extremely popular.
A road to revival
The 1920s brought the Art Deco movement, dominated by icy silver tones, especially platinum. However, the outbreak of World War II had a strong impact on the circumstances: in 1942, the United States designated platinum a strategic material, halting its use in jewellery.
The golden thirties and retro era
With platinum gradually becoming restricted worldwide due to the war, jewelers started looking for alternatives, sparking a renaissance of rose gold. This period, roughly 1930-1950, is also known as the Retro era, a time of remarkable cultural and aesthetic flourishing across the United States and Western Europe, known globally as the “golden thirties”.
