The Wow Factor of White Gold Engagement Rings

Posted by Zibaandco on January 20th, 2015

To buy an engagement ring can be one of the most exciting, yet challenging chapters leading up to a happy wedding. A platinum diamond ring setting is probably the most popular option, in the diamond engagement ring department, but white gold engagement ring settings are fast making a run for its money as more and more people discover its benefits and practicality. Not only do white gold engagement rings resemble platinum, they are also far more affordable.

Platinum and white gold do resemble each other, but there is more than meets the eye when it comes to these similarly coloured precious metals. While they do have the same silvery-white colour, white gold offers a little more shine, although platinum is admittedly more durable because white gold bears the same softness as yellow gold. Its hardness, however, depends on the purity of gold.

White gold engagement ring settings are among the best settings for brilliantly cut diamond. Besides being the more affordable option, white gold brings out the best in your choice of diamond. They allow the stone to sparkle to its finest brilliance. While white gold engagement rings do make brilliant cut (round, oval, princess, radiant, heart, marquise, and pear) diamonds look their best, they also accentuate the beauty of more antique-cut diamonds such as emerald, asscher, and cushion cuts.

No matter the type and style of diamond cut used in your white gold engagement setting, the resulting jewel will look timeless. People nowadays prefer different looks from the traditional yellow gold engagement rings that grand pops and grand mums used to have. More and more bachelors prefer the more stylish and modern look of white gold engagement rings, which are much easier to wear with most anything.

When shopping for white gold engagement rings, always choose suppliers that offer products from trusted local suppliers and reputable international brands. Find a shop that provides you with detailed descriptions of each product that they sell and offer the right certifications to make sure all products are sourced humanely and without conflict. Shopping online for precious jewellery and diamonds need not be too worrisome if you know which companies to trust. Find a supplier that is well recommended by other consumers and has a sound return policy so you can easily send back products that do not meet your expectations or do not offer what the retailer promised.
