White Gold engagement rings

When it comes to bridal jewellery, white gold engagement rings remain one of the most popular choices for a number of reasons. They offer a beauty that is both timeless and elegant, while also providing an affordable alternative to platinum. Their stylish silver colour and mirror like shine presents the perfect backdrop for the dazzling diamonds set within them, perfectly complementing and enhancing the sparkle and shine of the glistening gems.

White gold engagement rings are available in a number of different purity levels, with 9ct and 18ct being two of the most common options. 18ct white gold engagement rings provide a higher gold content, giving them a higher value, while 9ct rings offer a slightly more affordable option with the benefit increased strength. Both choices still offer the full beauty of this elegant precious metal with a preference between the two often being a matter of a number of factors, including budget, personal taste, and expected wear.

White gold is created by adding various metal alloys to traditional yellow gold, not only enhancing its natural strength and durability, but also creating the signature colour of the precious metal. Additional precious metals, such as rhodium and platinum are used as final touch to coat the white gold to create the beautiful silvery finish. Naturally, this finish may wear with time, but white gold engagement rings can easily be recoated to restore them to their original beauty. Overall, however, white gold engagement rings are easy to care for and require nothing more than standard maintenance to keep them looking their best.

White gold engagement rings can be found in a number of different finishes allowing them to cater to your specific preferences. While the classic high gloss finish provides a beautiful mirror like polish that most couples prefer, these stunning rings can also be found in a variety of satin finishes as well, offering a luxurious matte finish that creates a remarkable contrast to the dazzle of the glistening diamonds.
