We love the warm glow of rose gold. It dresses up or down with ease, and looks incredible with any skin tone. In terms of popularity, rose gold is definitely having a moment! Famed jewelry designer Cartier put rose gold on the map with the release of the Trinity wedding band  in the late 1920′s. Made of…
