CHOOSE THE METAL |
Yellow Gold
Gold is the most common metal used in engagement ring settings. Our gold has a rich color that best complements darker skin tones.The reflection of yellow gold can accent canary diamonds and make them look even more yellow and vibrant.
Platinum
Platinum is the strongest precious metal used in making jewelry. Platinum is incredibly dense, which makes it almost twice as heavy as gold. Another appealing characteristic of platinum is its durability. Platinum might get scratched over time, however it will not wear away. Also over a period of time platinum can lose its high polish luster and develop a satin look, however the high polish can easily be restored by a jeweler in 5 minutes.
Platinum vs. White Gold
White gold is an excellent alternative to platinum in that they will give you the same look, but gold costs half as much. White gold is lighter and is plated with rhodium, a hard white metal, in order to give it that white look, where platinum is naturally white. To keep a white gold ring looking its best, re-plating may be necessary every 12 to 18 months.
