So, you have to know how much you can spend, and then you can start your search. However, the gold engagement ring is an affordable choice for everyone. You can find a gold engagement ring below two hundred dollars.

Read This Before You Buy White Gold Diamond Ring

White Gold Diamond Rings

If you want to buy white gold diamond ring, there are several things you must pay attention.

Why have to be white gold?

Actually is more about personal taste. White looks more fresh, modern and can match with almost any dress or suit. And just for note, men who don’t wear jewelry or ring in his life (but his girl want him to wear engagement or wedding ring, to show other girls that he is not available) usually choose white gold ring because the color is more neutral and so it can still match if he wear t-shirt.

14K or 18K?

Pure gold (24K) is soft material so it has to mix with other materials to make it harder. 14K gold contains 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloys by weight, while 18 K gold contains 18 parts gold and 6 parts alloys by weight. That’s mean 14K gold is slightly harder than 18K gold.

The Diamond

4c: before you buy diamond, it is better if you learn about the 4c (Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat). If you want to buy an expensive diamond, you should buy certified diamond.

The Setting

Besides style and design, You should also consider the construction of the setting, is it strong enough to hold the diamond, is it protect the vulnerable point of the diamond, for example protect the corners of princess cut diamond, whether the ring setting will block the light that makes the diamond is not sparkle as supposed to be and the last one is the material to used for the setting. For the material, I recommend you not to choose the materials that have brittle characteristic. You should choose the material that strong enough but still have ductility characteristic, because if its brittle and your ring got impact, it will break, not bent and you will loose your diamond..whoops. Ask your jeweler for more information.

Diamond Cut

There are many diamonds cut style you may choose. The most common that chosen by people is round brilliant cut and princess cut, it’s because they create more sparkle and shine known as “fire” than other types of cut. You also must pay attention into two aspects of the cut, which is polish and symmetry. If the diamond not well polished, the surface of the diamond may not reflective and the sparkle won’t come out or it will be blurred. If the symmetry is poor, it will cause the light that enter the diamond won’t reflect to the surface of the diamond, but it will exits the diamond.

Some Fact about White Gold Ring

By: Ted Crist

White Gold Rings

White gold ring has been increasing in popularity for wedding or engagement ring because it looks fresher, with an affordable price.

White gold ring can be used for men and women. Some men said that they prefer to wear white gold ring than yellow gold ring because it looks more neutral and not too flashy, so they do not mind to use them in daily activities.

Before you buy white gold ring, it’s good to know some fact about it.

What is white gold ring?

White gold ring is a mixture of  gold with other materials, such as silver, nickel or palladium. The reason why gold have to be mixed with other materials is because “white” is not a natural color of gold, so it must be mixed with other materials to make it white. Besides that, pure gold (24K) is too soft, so it must be mixed with other materials that harder than gold. This means 14K gold ring is slightly harder than 18K gold ring, because 14K gold ring contains more percentage of harder metal than 18K gold ring.

White Gold Ring Quality and Rhodium Plating

Rhodium plating often used to enhance the white color of white gold ring. Anyway, best quality white gold ring does not require rhodium plating to make it white. Nickel can cause allergies in some people, so I suggest you to use white gold ring with a mixture of palladium. However, if you have sensitive skin, you can still use nickel containing white gold ring with a condition that the ring is coated with rhodium, because rhodium is a hypo-allergenic material.

Maintenance

After some period of constant use, the color of white gold ring can be dull, and the color changed to green or yellow in some parts. When this happens, you only need to bring it to the jeweler to replated / recoated with rhodium with a reasonable price. For everyday maintenance, you may use warm water (do not use boiling water), soft brush and mild soap (I recommend that you use detergent free soap) to clean your white gold ring.

whether you use white gold ring as a wedding / engagement ring or just for your jewelry collection, white gold ring is a wise choice, because it combines the beauty, affordable price and eternity (because you can always replated with rhodium )
