Retro classic jewelry makes a comeback and is now available in many styles

(Modesto, Calif.) February 8, 2010 – Due to a recent trend in couples shopping for Rose Gold wedding bands, Titanium-Jewelry.com, a leading online retailer of titanium and tungsten jewelry, matching wedding bands and mens ring’s, is pleased to introduce the latest in rose gold rings and wedding bands.

Rose gold, also called pink gold or red gold, is characterized by it’s alluring “pinkish” hue. Rose gold wedding bands are typically available in 14K, (.583 pure ), or 18K, (.750 pure). Rose gold is produced by alloying pure gold with varying amounts of copper. To achieve the reddish color, the copper alloy is increased while decreasing the silver colored alloys. The result is a striking reddish tone to the gold.

The term “rose gold” may have been coined from the French word for ‘pink’ which is“rose.” Rose gold, invented centuries ago and often found in vintage and antique jewelry, finds itself once again in vogue as the new fashion color for fine jewelry and wedding bands. Many top bridal jewelry designers, as well as prestigious watch brands such as Patek Philippe and IWC, are now featuring their newer designs in rose gold.

Industry experts expect rose gold to increase in popularity as more jewelers begin to offer it to their customers. Rose gold seems to have finally become a viable option for many retailers, according to Modern Jeweler magazine.
