Tint

Rose gold can have various tints, making it flattering for all skin tones. Those who prefer millennial pink and barely blushed tones can opt for the lighter 14k metal option while those who like rosy shades can opt for the darker and dustier 18k rose gold options.

Stone

Of course, white diamonds are a stunning complement to rose-gold settings, but champagne, gray, and raw diamonds are lovely as ever in rose gold as well as colored gemstones like rubies, amethysts, morganite, and pearls. For an unexpected combination, opt for green emerald gemstones. "They’re complementary colors so they work together perfectly," says Fraser. If your personal style mantra is “Needs more pink!” then look no further than gorgeous gemstones like pink sapphire, pink tourmaline, morganite, and spinel.

Setting

Rose gold looks great in most settings, so you have free range to choose a style that really reflects your personal taste. For a super-romantic rose gold engagement ring, an antique style or setting with filigree or floral design will feel especially feminine and sweet. If your taste skews modern, a sleek solitaire or two-stone ring in rose gold is stunning.To give rose gold a fashion-forward twist, aim for contemporary elements such as an east-west setting. The choice is all yours!
