We’ve seen a surge of color when it comes to engagement rings, and rose gold is quickly becoming a favorite for engagement and wedding bands. The warm, rich alloy plays well with other traditional metals and stones, while giving a subtle and sexy pop of color. As with most trends, rose gold is seeping into other elements of wedding day style, including watches which are stylish engagement alternatives for those who aren’t fans of the ring bling.
