While rose gold has seen an increase in popularity, rose gold and accessories are anything but new.
The now popular blush-colored metal has been around since the mid to late 19th century.
Is it real gold?
The answer is: absolutely! Rose gold is made with real gold, even it if isn’t 100% gold. The higher the karat amount in the piece of jewelry will indicate the purity of gold in the piece. For example, 18 karat gold is 75% gold, while 14 karat gold would have 58% gold.
But while the initial use of the beautiful rose gold might have been for jewelry, its popularity gave designers a great canvas for new products with gold rose color, and that now means you can find anything from house wear to computers, phones, and many other products featuring the unique rose gold color.
The beauty of it all
The beauty of it is in the way that this tone of gold complements most skin tones and looks amazing by itself or layered with yellow or white gold!
Rose gold has become the metal of choice for spring and summer jewelry but the truth is that it can be used year-round.
My personal favorites
I have a few different rose gold jewelry pieces which I love, but two of my favorite items in this color are certainly my Cora Polaris wood watch and my Holly sunglasses from Jord.
The combination of the Koa wood is a species native to Hawaii which is considered to be the most beautiful of the native hardwoods.
Depending on the harvest season, Koa wood will produce tones that range from medium gold to reddish-brown, similar to Mahogany….Simply stunning!
The Hand-set Swarovski crystal constellation represents the Little Dipper. The North Star is accentuated at 12 o’clock and the result is a magnificent timepiece!
Taking it a step or two forward
Great things happen when you are able to accessorize and that is exactly the case when you combine the Cora Polaris wood watch and the Holly sunglasses.
Holly who?
Modern and feminine aviator-style sunglasses featuring reinforced titanium frames in rose gold titanium tones, accented with Padauk and Italian cellulose acetate. The Holly is both elegant and playful and a great addition to your everyday wear, especially when combined with the Cora watch!

I love the Conway Kosso and Midnight Blue Watch. I would give it to my husband. He has been working very hard lately and he deserves something special.
I would get the exact same set you have with the rose gold Cora Polaris watch and Holly sunglasses ! I really like how feminine the rose gold is, and the constellation crystals are a nice touch. I would give this to my mom as her watch recently stopped working, and she’s been looking for a new watch – this would be a great surprise!
Frankie 38, Purple Heart! So pretty.. I would probably keep it, i don’t have a nice watch for myself. I have a Garmin and a phone and that’s it. My favorite color is purple.
I LOVE Jord watches, I’ve wanted one for a while now! I really like the Harper (womens) but really I like them all. the Cora Polaris is also super cute…too many choices!
Thanks for the chance, Jeniffer! I’d get the Blue Conway and Archer (Kosso and Midnight blue set for men. I’d gift to my brother. Om top of everything else we’ve lost this year, he lost his Jord watch with a blue face somewhere on the subway. So eager for 2020 to be GONE
I love the Purpleheart & Lavender. Purple is my favorite color and this watch combines that with complete classyness. I think I would for sure chose to keep it, Hope I win!
I love all Jord watches but the Turquoise Cora Polaris watch is absolutely?y favorite I woud keep it for myself to wear daily! Thank you so much for the chance
Thank you so much for the chance ive always loved rose gold everything i own is rose gold!! This would be one of the only good things about 2020 to win!! Praying!
There are so many excellent choices. It’s hard to choose but if I win I will have fun choosing. I would gift the watch to my son who does not have a fancy watch like these. He has a Walmart watch which may last a year or two.
I absolutely LOVE the CORA POLARIS in maple & vintage bronze. Colors, tones and design just screams me! So, that being said I would most definitely keep it for myself. I deserve a little something every once and awhile.
It is very hard too choose. On the one hand I would like Polaris and Holly set for myself. Then I think how excited my husband would be if I got him this for his birthday coming up.
I want to select FRANKIE II
Zebrawood & Champagne, this one is clear to see the time,
There are so many wonderful choices… how to pick one? Ok, if I have to pick, I think I will go with the Cora Polaris, Koa & Rose Gold — why? It just looks “right” for me!
I really like their “CORA POLARIS Koa & Rose Gold”. So pretty! I think I’d keep it for myself, as I usually try to win a watch for my sweet hubby, I could use one too. Thanks and God bless!
I like the HYDE kosso and gray
I like the Hyde Kosso and gray model. The HYDE option comes in a few colors and I also really like the blue one too. I do wish there were digital options
Would like to get the Cora Polaris – Zebrawood & Turquoise.
Sorry didn’t do the three sentences. So here they are. They have great watches with lots of great colour combinations.
I would pick the Cora Polaris & Holly set.
The watch I eould choose is the Cora Polaris, in maple and vintage bronze. There certainly is a good selection. I like purpleheart, but wasn’t as keen on the design.
I love rose gold. It seems so feminine to me. I would keep this watch and use it daily.
I would choose the Conway & Archer Zebrawood and Graphite watch. I would give to my husband for our 31st anniversary in May
I would keep this for myself. It’s so pretty and It’s been a crazy year. I had to give up my job to stay home with my kids and home school them and my nieces and nephews. A little treat for mama would be nice 🙂
Jord has some beautiful items. I love their watches! My favorite is the Frankie (koa & almond). I would keep this gift set!
If I won this giveaway, I would choose the blue Tiger Eye and ebony watch set with the Walnut and Ebony sunglasses. I would most likely gift this to my son for his upcoming birthday. He has been needing a new watch. So, winning this would be awesome.
I would chose the Conway- Kosso & Midnight Blue if I won. It is really nice and looks very classy. The midnight blue colour really stands out on this watch.
I would choose the Cora Polaris Koa & Rose Gold watch. I’ve been coveting Jord watches for years! But I wouldn’t keep this one for myself – I’d gift it to our daughter who graduated last year, and didn’t have a very nice grad – no prom! She’d really love it 😉
I got one of these for my dad a few years ago. He still gets comments on it. I like the Meridian for me. I just love that blue face
I love the Cora Polaris Koa & Rose Gold love everything about it!
Maybe the frankie with the green dial not sure, would have to look a
lot more if I were lucky enough to win. I miss wearing a watch.
I like the Meridian .
I like the DOVER II 42MM SKELETON AUTOMATIC. It is classy and stylish. I think it would make a great watch for me.
