GUIDE TO ENGAGEMENT RING METALS
GUIDE TO ENGAGEMENT RING METALS
Choosing an engagement ring is a momentous occasion, symbolizing love meant to last a lifetime. Therefore, it’s essential that the ring is not only a cherished icon of your soon-to-be life together, but also crafted from materials that are eternally dependable and durable. To help our customers make an informed decision, our expert staff here at Morgan Jewelers have created a comprehensive guide on the various metals available for engagement rings. From classic gold to contemporary platinum, this guide ensures that every couple can find the perfect metal to match their style and enduring commitment.
YELLOW GOLD
Radiating a warm, rich glow, yellow gold is a timeless and endlessly stunning choice for engagement rings. Its classic appeal complements many different skin tones, and as history shows, never goes out of style. Yellow gold is also a highly malleable metal, making it perfect for intricate designs as well as more minimalist adornments. Additionally, it's durable and easy to maintain— however, it is softer than other metals, which may lead to scratches over time. With proper care though, the glamor of yellow gold can be beautifully preserved for future generations.
WHITE GOLD
Versatile and elegant, white gold is a superb option for engagement rings. Its sleek, modern appearance enhances and compliments the natural brilliance of diamonds, making them appear even more dazzling and vibrant. The neutral tone of white gold also complements various colored gemstones and visual styles, ensuring timeless appeal with any combination of aesthetics or center stones. Additionally, white gold is durable and resistant to tarnishing, allowing it to maintain its luster with minimal upkeep. Although it may require occasional replating to maintain its glistening rhodium finish, white gold remains a beautiful and practical choice for lifelong wear.
ROSE GOLD
With its distinctive warm-toned hues and alluring glimmer, rose gold offers a unique and romantic option for engagement rings. Its delicate blush tones flatters all skin tones while adding a touch of vintage charm as well as contemporary elegance. Thanks to its copper alloy, rose gold is also highly durable, making it suitable for everyday wear. While it may require regular polishing to maintain its brilliant shine, the enchanting color and timeless appeal of rose gold make it an increasingly popular choice for couples seeking something special within their engagement ring.
PLATINUM
Known for its dependability, durability, rarity, and even its hypoallergenic properties, platinum is an exceptional choice for engagement rings. This precious metal’s natural white luster beautifully highlights the brilliance of diamonds and gemstones of all colors. While platinum comes at a higher price point than gold, its strength and resistance to wear and tear justify the greater investment. Unlike other metals, it also doesn’t need frequent replating, allowing it to effortlessly maintain its natural beauty over time. Its hypoallergenic properties also make it ideal for those with sensitive skin, ensuring comfort and longevity for years to come.
