Gold and Platinum Engagement Rings

One of the key decisions that must be made when selecting an engagement ring is the type of precious metal that will be used for the ring. While gold rings are one of the most popular choices, they involve a number of considerations. Shoppers have to consider the purity and classification of the engagement ring, and their preference in terms of white or yellow gold. Engagement gold rings are an excellent base for diamonds and will make any special lady ecstatic.

When selecting your engagement ring part of the decision is the type of metal you want. Gold is the most common type of metal for jewellery. The purity of gold is measured in Karats (24 karat gold is pure gold). There is a wide range of purity levels for shoppers to consider. Most individuals select gold rings that are between 10 and 18 karat. Naturally, as the karats increases, so does the price.  The higher the karat number, the higher the percentage of gold in your gold jewelry.

24K gold is pure gold.
18K gold contains 75% gold.
14K gold contains 58.3% gold.
10K gold contains 41.7% gold and is the minimum karat that can be called "gold" in the Canada.

White gold is known for being more stylish than traditional yellow gold. White gold is created by mixing pure gold with other white metals such as nickel, or palladium. When yellow gold is alloyed with nickel, the resulting white gold acquires the properties of nickel which is strong and hard. The characteristics of white gold depend on the proportions of the metals used and their properties. When consider the type of metal for an engagement ring, many shoppers are torn between white gold and platinum. White gold is a wonderful alternative to platinum because it is more cost effective but to make it really white, it must be rhodium plated, unlike platinum which is already a white metal.

Yellow gold is a more traditional style of wedding band. The allure of yellow gold is that it is simple and has a timeless appeal. It is very versatile and almost guaranteed to be available in any design.
