White Gold Engagement Rings FAQs
White gold is an alloy made by combining pure gold with white metals such as palladium, silver, and sometimes nickel, to give it a silvery-white appearance. It is often coated with a thin layer of rhodium for added brightness and durability. In contrast, yellow gold is a blend of pure gold with metals like copper and zinc, which retain the gold's natural yellow colour.
Platinum is a naturally white metal and is denser and more durable than gold, but also more expensive. A white gold engagement ring offers a more affordable alternative to platinum while providing a similar look. It is less malleable than yellow gold due to its harder alloy composition, making it more scratch-resistant.
White gold is a popular choice for engagement rings due to its modern, versatile and elegant appearance. It complements the brilliance of diamonds by enhancing their sparkle without overpowering them. Additionally, white gold is more durable and scratch-resistant than yellow gold, making it suitable for everyday wear. It's also more affordable than platinum while offering a similar look, making white gold engagement rings a cost-effective option for those who prefer the look of white metal.
White gold settings can significantly enhance the appearance of a diamond. The silvery-white colour of white gold makes it an excellent backdrop for diamonds, as it amplifies their brilliance and fire. This setting can make the diamond appear larger and more vibrant. White gold's reflective qualities also mean it doesn't cast any colour onto the diamond, ensuring the stone's natural colour and clarity are displayed to their fullest advantage.
Some white gold alloys do contain nickel, which can cause allergic reactions for some wearers. However, not all white gold engagement rings are made with nickel.
For those with sensitivities, there are hypoallergenic options available. Diamonds Factory’s white gold engagement rings are alloyed with palladium to account for skin sensitivities.
A white gold engagement ring can vary slightly in shade depending on the alloys used and the percentage of each metal. The rhodium plating applied to most white gold jewellery gives it a uniformly bright white finish. Over time, the rhodium plating can wear off, revealing the slightly warmer, original colour of the metal, which can be re-plated to restore its bright white finish. In terms of finishes, white gold can be found in polished, matte, brushed or hammered finishes, allowing for a range of stylistic choices to suit individual preferences. These options make white gold a versatile material for crafting a variety of engagement ring designs.
