18k Rose Gold Pave Diamond Marrakech Ring

I love rose gold because this alloy imbues the pieces with an antique feeling.  Jewelry made during the Belle Epoque Era (the 'Beautiful Era' in Europe from the late 1900s to before World War I) and Victorian Era often had a slightly pink hue.  Adding a tiny amount of copper to the gold alloy gives rose gold its color.  I think it is fun to incorporate this antique alloy to more modern pieces like my Marrakech Collection.  The pave diamonds also accentuate the outline which forms the ring.  This piece is meant to place an emphasis on the skin and its the beauty.  The body is revealed in the center of the ring rather than a set stone.
