Rose Gold Hoop Earrings

After a long lull in popularity, rose gold jewelry is becoming increasingly trendy and mainstream. The warm, rich shade of rose gold looks lovely against almost any skin tone, especially with a glimmer of spring and summer tan. Like rose gold, hoop earrings are also experiencing a resurgence in popularity. But despite the fact that the trendiness of hoop earrings waxes and wanes with the fashion scene, we feel that they are a mainstay in the stylish woman’s wardrobe. Hoops are simple enough to mesh seamlessly with most outfits, and can be worn year round, making them a jewelry box staple. Plus, hoop earrings come in a myriad of different sizes and widths, so women can choose the perfect pair to suit their lifestyle.

Since the different sizes of hoop earrings dictate how they should be worn, we’ve created a simple guide below for the best sized hoop earrings to wear for particular occasions. Read on to find out which hoops you should pull out to wear with that party dress and which are perfect for the office.

Office-Ready Rose Gold Hoops

For women who work in a conservative, business casual office environment, hoop earrings up to one inch in diameter are the perfect choice. Apples of Gold offers two lovely choices for rose gold hoops in this size range, the ¾” diameter and the 1” diameter (shown below, right). Despite the small size, the fact that the hoops are rose gold makes them an instant style statement.

Weekend Wear Rose Gold Hoops

Go slightly bigger in hoop size for casual night and weekend wear. 1 1/8” diameter hoops to 1 ½” diameter rose gold hoops are the ideal size for letting your hair down and relaxing in style. Date nights, brunch with the girls and family get-togethers are all perfect occasions to sport hoops up to 1.5”.

Party Perfect Rose Gold Hoops

For big nights out, only the boldest rose gold hoops will do. Make a big statement with a pair of 1.5” to 1.75” in diameter hoop earrings. They will draw attention up to your face, and are simple enough to pair with your best little party dress without competing.

Apples of Gold carries a wide selection of gold hoop earrings. If we haven’t highlighted a pair of hoops you love, check out our main page to browse all the hoops we have in stock. Happy hunting!

Think Pink for Valentine’s Day

Ah, pink; the color of warmth, love, friendship and flirtation. Cheeks turn pink at the sight of a crush, and lips color ruby after a heady kiss. With so many pleasant love-related connotations, it’s no wonder pink is such a popular color for Valentine’s Day. If red has been your go-to Vday gift color in years past, consider a change to red’s flirtier, hip little sister, pink. Even jewelry comes in alluring shades of pink that range from soft pink pearls to super stylish, rock star rose gold. Play up the flirt factor this year by thinking pink – gift your Valentine with a gorgeous piece of jewelry that takes her breath away and brings out the pink in her cheeks.

A Rose By Any Other Name

Rose gold, forgotten for a while, is making a big comeback on the fashion and jewelry scene. The gorgeous pink tone of rose gold comes from the addition of copper, and can range from light pink to a fiery orange-red. White and yellow gold makes great gifts for other occasions, but Valentine’s Day calls for something special and seasonal, something…pink. Even the name is ideal for Valentine’s Day – instead of giving her a dozen roses that are marked up on February 14th, give her a piece of rose gold jewelry that will grow in value – and never wilt.

Two Pieces of Rose Gold jewelry We Love for Valentine’s Day:

1.  Personalized Handwritten Rose Gold Ring (at top)

This ring makes the ultimate personalized Valentine’s Day gift. The solid 14k rose gold ring can be inscribed with your own personal message in your own handwriting. It’s like giving her a permanent love note that she will always carry around with her; the ring is such a unique, romantic gesture.

2. Rose Gold and Diamond Butterfly Ring

The abstract butterfly covered in tiny diamonds will let her know that she makes your heart flutter (hey, you can even write this in a card – we won’t hold the cheese factor against you). The soft pink hue on this gorgeous ring will look beautiful on any skin tone, and the feminine shape makes it a great girly gift. Besides, what girl can resist pink and diamonds?

The Pearl of Your Heart

Traditional ladies will love receiving pearls for Valentine’s Day. Pearls are the oldest precious gem and have been worn throughout the centuries by everyone from Cleopatra to Queen Elizabeth. A beautiful set of pink pearls makes an ideal gift for the queen in your life. They’re classic enough to be worn forever, but have just enough pop to set them apart from white pearls.

Two Pink Pearl Gifts We Love for Valentine’s Day:

1. Natural Freshwater Pink Pearl Stud Earrings

Even the most sensible woman will love a pair of pearl stud earrings. They are unfussy enough to be worn daily, go with everything from jeans to a ball gown, and match everything in a wardrobe. Plus, they are practically a steal at under $100. Gifting doesn’t get easier than these beauties.

2. Diamond, Natural Freshwater Pink Pearl and White Gold Dangle Earrings

Make no mistake – these earrings are serious jewelry. Two large pale pink pearl earrings dangle from 14k white gold fishhook posts for an elegant twist on the pearl earring. The pink pearls are placed in a white gold setting covered in tiny diamonds that sparkle as the earrings move. Simply gorgeous.

If your Valentine hates pink, relax! Apples of Gold has a plethora of beautiful Valentine’s Day options, including rare chocolate pearls (ladies love chocolate;  even the inedible kind)  and pretty gemstone earrings. Whatever you buy her she will love, just because it’s something special that came from you. And if she doesn’t, well, there’s plenty of other fish in the sea… we kid, we kid!

Rose Gold Bangle Bracelet

Apples of Gold’s 14K Solid Rose Gold Bangle Bracelets are individually handmade for a superior and finer quality finish in comparison to standard every-day machine-made bangles. Each bangle’s weight is substantial and is ideal for every-day use.

Apples of Gold Jewelry individually crafts each rose gold bangle about 30% heavier than the standard machine-made gold bangle. This makes them perfectly suited for daily wear and life-time ownership.

Each bangle is available from 6mm to 25mm in width (1/4″ to 1″ wide).

Apples of Gold can also customize your bangle in a domed, rather than flat profile (shown above), or make it as heavy or as thick as you like. Also available in 18k rose gold by request, or as handmade white gold bangles or yellow gold bangles.

Apples of Gold originally developed this bangle for a customer who was tired of having to replace her bangles from too much wear and tear. She requested that we custom make her a 1″ bangle that was thick and heavy enough to wear every day of her life without it getting damaged. She specifically informed us that she is very rough on her jewelry and wanted to make sure we made her something she could pass down to her children.

She ended up with an 80.0 gram, 1″ bangle and we developed a new line of rose gold bangles based on her custom bangle, starting with a 1/4″ bangle all the way up to her custom-made wide 1″ statement bracelet.

Is Rose Gold the New White Gold?

Is Rose Gold the New White?

For the past decade, white gold has reigned supreme in the jewelry world. It served as the gold of choice for trendsetters and was especially popular in engagement and wedding rings. However, the past two seasons have ushered in a new hue vying for top spot in the world of jewelry: rose gold. The fashion industry in particular has seen a strong resurgence in jewelry crafted from this lovely metal; from high-end men’s watches to delicate bangles and rose gold rings, rose gold is enjoying a new Renaissance.

One reason for its growing popularity is its rich, romantic hue that looks wonderful on most skin tones, especially those with warm undertones. Plus, for people who enjoy wearing bronze and copper jewelry (a recent fashion must), rose gold offers a luxury alternative with a similar look. You might put aside your copper bangles after one season of wear, but rose gold bangles can be worn for life.

Also, unlike white gold, rose gold has a wide range of hues – from a sweet light pink to fiery amber, a simple change in the composition can create brilliantly unique looks. This gives rose gold a versatile quality. Deeper tones will perfectly compliment the rich, warm colors of a Fall wardrobe while the lighter pink colored rose gold looks lovely against a pastel Spring palette. The latest look is a pairing of rose gold and yellow or white gold on a trilogy of rings, or even on the same band, bangle or earrings.

Though rose gold’s rebirth started with trendy jewelry lines, it is quickly becoming a jewelry box staple. The rising popularity of rose gold engagement and wedding rings is evidence that the look is here to stay. More and more couples are choosing the rich tones of rose gold to play against a diamond’s cool sparkle for a unique look to last a lifetime. Buying fashion-forward jewelry in rose gold is one thing; buying rose gold for rings a couple will wear for life is much deeper commitment to the beautiful metal.

So although white gold will always be here to stay, suffice to say that rose gold is the new gun in town. It has made its way from trendy runways to use in top quality pieces destined to become treasured family heirlooms. Though the price may be higher, its an investment in quality and uniqueness that will be enjoyed for decades to come.
