View AllNow that you have learned the styles and types of engagement rings let's understand the different metals you can get your engagement ring in! Engagement rings are often bought with the same color for both partners. In case you are planning a surprise proposal, you can consider getting a metal and color that best fits with the color palette of your partner's wardrobe!
Don't confuse yellow gold with natural gold! Yellow gold is naturally colored gold, a noble metal with no color wear off over time and no visible tear. Yellow gold and its sturdiness depend on the alloy constituents. Gold, being a relatively softer metal, makes it easier to bear intricate details and designs. If you are going for vintage engagement rings, yellow gold is a great choice that amplifies the overall beauty of the ring.
Introduced as a platinum alternative, white gold has become highly popular among jewelry enthusiasts and buyers due to its captivating luster. White gold is created by mixing yellow gold with nickel or silver. After being polished with rhodium, it is as shiny and sparky as platinum. However, Make sure to recur the rhodium polishing as its whiteness wears off with time.
A prime example of the beauty of a rose gold ring is Blake Lively's (wife to Ryan Reynolds) rose gold diamond ring. The jaw-dropping pinkish tone of gold is achieved by alloying gold with copper and minimal silver. The rose gold color tone gives the ring a retro look, making it most favorable for three-stone set rings.
Sterling Silver is different from natural silver as it is an alloy comprising 925 parts of silver and 75 parts of copper. Sterling Silver engagement rings are cost-effective, durable, and have a white-grayish gleam. However, compared to gold, silver is less durable and likely prone to scratches. Silver must be polished from time to time, as it can tarnish.
Silver is a great choice for those looking to be budget-conscious. However, it is not a recommended option for the long run to use for wedding and engagement rings!
The shine, timeless appeal, and durability of platinum as a metal in engagement rings make the ring look like it came out of a fairy tale movie. This highly rare metal is an ideal choice for its gemstone guarding capacity, handling wear and tear, and scratches!
Platinum's shimmering beauty is its natural color, which doesn’t require re-plating or coating. However, a polish is necessary every few (5-7) years. Despite its relatively high price, Platinum is a great option for individuals who lead busy lives, have busy schedules, or have sensitive skin.
Palladium is surely among the top preferred metals for engagement rings due to its chemical and physical resemblance to Platinum. It is also highly resistant to scratches and durable. The advantage of palladium over platinum is that it is lightweight but is more priced than gold and silver rings!
Choosing the perfect engagement ring for your partner can be treated as a process. The steps in this process that BOLD recommends will surely give you positive results in your romantic quest for the perfect ring!
