| Video Discription | Today we’re looking at the 4 metals options we see most often used in our client’s engagement rings and the pros and cons of each one. Visit http://www.wovemade.com to schedule a meeting with one of our designers to create your own custom engagement ring with the band metal of your choice: 1. *WHITE GOLD* - Beautiful, silvery-coloured metal suited to engagement rings - An affordable alternative to platinum - Requires some maintenance over the years - In order for white gold to appear white in colour, gold must be mixed (AKA alloyed) with a white metal like nickel, palladium or silver which makes white gold a light grey colour. - To give white gold its sought after sheen, it is then rhodium plated. With time, rhodium plating will wear away revealing a yellow-ish tinge, and the ring will need replating every 12-18 months to maintain its lustre and radiance. While white gold is initially more affordable, there is a maintenance cost involved every 18 months or so. 2. *YELLOW GOLD* - Yellow gold is the traditional choice - Yellow gold lost favor to white gold for a while but has recently regained popularity - Any gold is generally less expensive than platinum - Because gold is less dense than platinum, gold rings are lighter than platinum ones. Many find the lightness of a gold ring to be more comfortable. - Great metal choice if choosing more color in your diamond. Since the band color is already very yellow, it will make your diamond look less yellow than it really is. Pairing a diamond with more color with a platinum band is not always great since the cool tones of the band might further bring out the yellow in the diamond. - The higher the karat is not necessarily better when it comes to the longevity of your ring’s band. 24K gold is so soft and pliable that it can easily be scratched or bent. - In order to make a ring that is stronger, anything under 24K is always an alloy with other metals. - Yellow gold is a relatively low-maintenance metal and can be easily cleaned with warm water and soap. However, it is important to avoid exposing yellow gold to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or damage the metal. 3. *ROSE GOLD* - Rose gold is made from yellow gold mixed with copper and sometimes silver. - Since rose gold is solid and not plated or coated with any other metal, it does not chip. However, over time, the copper contained in rose gold will gradually become a little redder. - Some like this look because it adds a vintage, heirloom feel to your ring. - Rose gold is approximately the same price as yellow gold, but sometimes can be an even more affordable option to yellow gold because of the copper alloy used, as copper is not an expensive metal. - Keep in mind that those with a copper allergy should not choose rose gold - Rose gold is a less traditional choice than yellow gold, white gold, or platinum for your ring 4. *PLATINUM* - Popular choice for engagement rings due to its durability and rarity - Much more rare than gold - Hypoallergenic metal so good for those who have metal allergies - Does not tarnish or lose its luster over time - Most expensive metal option but while it’s one of the most expensive metal choices, its longevity and durability make it worth is since the only maintenance it’ll require is a little polishing once in a while - One of the strongest precious metals - When platinum is scratched, the platinum only gets moved from one place on the ring to another. And, it develops something called a patina finish (the look of an antique ring) - Naturally white, so it enhances the brilliance of diamonds or other gemstones Choosing the right metal type for your engagement ring is an important aspect of your ring that sometimes gets overlooked since most people tend to focus on their diamond. #engagementring #customring #diamondring FwS1-i8W9nI |
