It’s happening, Rose gold is actually making a comeback and is set to be huge throughout the whole of 2018. The increase in demand for rose gold according to Zennioptical its partly to do with the re-branding of ‘Salmon’ by Apple to ‘Rose Gold’. It doesn’t stop there! Glamour wrote an article earlier this year stating that dying your hair Rose gold is a ‘surefire way to start the season’ you can read all about it here.
We spoke to one of our latest jewellery brands Chlobo, who are at the forefront of fashion and style when it comes to anything you wear on your wrist or around your neck. They agreed that they are expecting rose gold to make a huge come back this year and as such have introduced a lot of rose gold pendants and bracelet stacks to their 2018 spring summer and autumn releases.
One watch brand that has always had a not so secret passion for rose gold is Citizen Watch UK. Citizen have been adding rose gold watches to their collections for as long as I can remember. When I was growing up even my dad wore rose gold Citizen watches and when he decided to buy a new one, that too was rose gold. Rose gold use to be a very popular metal PVD plating of choice back in the 1920’s and unfortunately as times have changed, the fashion industry also changes leaving rose gold behind for silver, platinum, yellow gold and more. This did not stop Citizen from still manufacturing at least one option for the few dedicated fans out there that have stuck with rose gold though the bad times over recent years.
The time for rose gold seems to have come back around and quite frankly I’m loving it, when we get new watches in it brings back great memories of my own childhood. A wristwatch was originally designed to simply help you keep track of time which is something so simple but for me it it did so much more. It helped me keep memories of my childhood that would otherwise be lost like so many of my memories from being a kid.
Rose gold deserves its time back in the spotlight and if I could have any choice in it I’d keep it there for as long as possible. Citizen watches have so many rose gold watches and I wanted to show you just a few to try and inspire you to get one and to make some memories of your own with them.
