Engagement Rings White Gold

The choice between 18K white gold and platinum for your engagement ring depends on several factors:

18K white gold with diamond offers an elegant, luminous style at a more accessible price point. Its silver tone beautifully complements diamonds and white precious stones. 18K white gold is also lighter, making it comfortable for everyday wear.

Platinum, rarer and denser, offers exceptional durability and a naturally white colour that requires no rhodium plating. It is ideal for sensitive skin and retains its brilliance over time. It does, however, represent a more significant investment.

At Mayuri Paris, we offer both precious metals across our collections, allowing every woman to find the jewellery piece perfectly suited to her preferences and budget.

Our white gold engagement rings can be set with a variety of exceptional precious stones:

• Diamond: the classic, timeless choice, available in round, princess, square, cushion, or emerald cut
• Sapphire: a symbol of fidelity, in shades ranging from deep blue to pink
• Emerald: for a sophisticated, refined touch of green colour
• Ruby: representing passion, for a bold style

All our precious stones are selected to the highest quality standards (AAA for coloured stones, H/G VVS for diamonds). Each setting is crafted by hand by our artisans to ensure the security and optimal presentation of every stone.

Stone size is also customisable, expressed in carats (ct), allowing you to create a truly unique piece tailored to your budget and aesthetic preferences.

The white gold solitaire is the most iconic and timeless engagement ring style. It features a single precious stone, typically a solitaire diamond, set on an 18K white gold band.

Its popularity comes down to:

• Its discreet elegance, which highlights the purity of the diamond
• Its versatility, which suits every style from classic to contemporary
• Its ease of wear for everyday life
• Its timeless quality, transcending trends and eras

The solitaire perfectly embodies the Mayuri Paris philosophy: refined luxury in simplicity, where the excellence of the stone and the quality of the setting take precedence over ostentation. It is the preferred choice for women seeking an elegant, meaningful piece to mark their commitment.

Regular care for your white gold diamond engagement ring will preserve its brilliance and sparkle:

Daily cleaning:

• Use warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth
• Avoid harsh chemical products

Everyday precautions:

• Remove your ring during manual activities
• Avoid contact with perfumes and creams
• Store it separately in its case to prevent scratches

Professional care: 18K white gold is rhodium-plated to maintain its silver tone. We recommend re-plating every one to two years depending on wear. Our team can carry out this service and inspect the setting of your precious stones to ensure they remain secure.

Engagement ring styles continue to evolve whilst preserving the timeless elegance of white gold. Here are the current trends:

Popular styles:

• Vintage: Art Deco and Victorian-inspired designs with intricate detailing
• Contemporary: clean lines and minimalist design
• Pavé: multiple small diamonds for a sparkling, radiant effect
• Halo: a central diamond surrounded by smaller stones

Trending stones:

• Princess or square cut diamonds for a modern look
• Sapphires and emeralds for a touch of colour
• Cushion or oval cut diamonds for a romantic style

At Mayuri Paris, we invite you to explore these different styles whilst championing personalisation to create personalised jewellery that reflects the individuality of every woman.

The key difference between 18K white gold (750) and 9ct white gold lies in their purity:

18K white gold (750):

• Contains 75% pure gold
• More precious and more resistant to oxidation
• A more intense and lasting white tone
• Ideal for high-value precious stones
• Recommended for a superior-quality engagement ring

9ct white gold:

• Contains 37.5% pure gold
• More affordable
• Slightly harder but less refined
• An accessible option for more modest budgets

For a white gold engagement ring intended to be worn for a lifetime, we recommend 18K gold for its exceptional quality and durability. It is the metal of choice for setting our diamonds and exceptional precious stones.

Choosing the carat (ct) weight of your diamond depends on several factors:

Budget: Carat weight directly influences price. A 0.50ct diamond offers excellent value for money, whilst 1ct or above represents a significant investment.

Finger size: On slender fingers, a solitaire diamond of 0.30 to 0.70ct already creates a striking presence. On wider fingers, one carat or more achieves a harmonious visual impact.

Lifestyle: For an active daily wearer, a diamond of 0.50 to 0.80ct is practical and elegant.

Quality over size: At Mayuri Paris, we prioritise exceptional quality (H/G VVS) over size alone. A smaller diamond of superior quality will always outshine a larger stone of lesser grade.

Our team is here to guide you in finding the perfect balance between cut, carat weight, and your budget to create your ideal white gold engagement ring.
