Remember when jewellery came in two colours: gold or silver?

Well, a round of applause please for rose gold. I know that not all of you enjoy exploring the High Street (be it Kensington or elsewhere) but for those who do, this is a shopportunity if ever I saw one!

Just as beaten copper and mirror-finish brass are the prodigal metals of interior design, so smoky-grey gold and fire-toned rose gold are adding warmth to winter wardrobes.

They can be pretty and feminine, as seen in the Tiffany images above, or more strikingly new and carefree, as seen at Marc Jacobs via ASOS below:

I wouldn’t saddle myself with commitment jewellery in what is a rather trendy finish. So if you’re asking, it’s still platinum for me. But for warming up winter blacks in early 2105, and with a view to some summer dressing-up fun, rose gold could be right on the money.
