What makes rose gold distinctive?

The colour creates a gentle contrast with a white diamond and pairs naturally with both contemporary and vintage-inspired designs. Rose gold does not depend on rhodium plating, but like every precious metal it will collect fine scratches and signs of wear over time.

Colour can vary slightly between alloy recipes, repairs and manufacturers. Matching metal is therefore important when adding a wedding ring or altering an existing piece.

Choosing a diamond shape

Round and oval diamonds offer flowing curves; pear shapes bring asymmetry and length; emerald cuts create a cleaner geometric contrast; cushions combine softened corners with a square or rectangular outline. No shape is inherently best for rose gold - it should be judged on the hand and in the intended setting.

Natural and laboratory-grown options

Natural and laboratory-grown diamonds can both be used in rose gold. They share essentially the same diamond crystal structure and optical properties but have different origins and pricing. Each stone should be described accurately and supplied with the documentation applicable to that stone.

The custom design process

Begin with a private consultation to explore designs, metals and diamonds. Xennox then develops the agreed design and, where appropriate, a CAD preview for approval before local production. Timing depends on design complexity, diamond availability and workshop capacity, so confirm the current estimate at order.

Rose gold care

Clean gently with mild soapy water and a soft brush. Remove the ring for heavy work, gym equipment and exposure to harsh chemicals. Rose gold may not suit everyone with a known copper or metal sensitivity; a jeweller or health professional can help if you have a history of reactions.
