I used to work with a woman who had the most gorgeous platinum pieces of jewelry. She looked so classic and expensive without being flashy and ostentatious.

It is incredibly easy to tell the difference. Nobody who actually buys jewelry and is interested in it is confused. Other than you, apparently.

I guess I should have clarified what I mean for people who lack critical thinking skills. A lot of people don't realize that the jewelry they're admiring on *other women* isn't "silver" (or "white gold"), it's platinum. I've had several women ask me about my "white gold" engagement ring setting when it's actually platinum.

Of course any educated buyer would know the difference.

The only good thing about platinum is that it's not rose gold at least.

what's wrong with rose gold?

It’s tacky. It used to be that you only saw it in Black Hills gold. Which is the epitome of tacky.

How old are you?

All sorts of jewelry is made in rose gold. There are modernist Georg Jensen pieces that may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but they are the opposite of tacky.

Rose gold is very dated, and for the basic you-know-whats. And a lot of GJ is terribly uninspiring and straight from a CAD program, much like Cartier and Tiffany.

After all the recent discussions about what basic means, you are calling a material "dated". Rose gold has been around for a very long time, it didn't just appear 15 yrs ago or whenever Tiffany came out with that rubedo stupidity.

I don't think you understand what "dated" means. It means, quite simply, no longer in fashion. Rose gold is very 2010s.
"Basic" refers to basic b****. A rose gold Cartier love bracelet, golden goose parka, longchamp bag, uggs...

Your reading comprehension is poor. Go back, read my pp, and note the phrase "used to be." Then, climb down off your high horse. I said nothing about rose gold being tacky. I responded to the person who was confused with regard to why some people find it so. And some people do, many of them for the reason I cited.

And drop your nasty ageism. (And I'm probably younger than you are.)

My DH buys me incredibly nice jewelry. I don’t ask for it or “need it”. He has good tastes and is a good gift giver. It is the effort and thought as much it is the piece.
