Rings white gold

White gold is created by combining yellow gold with white metals (such as palladium, silver or nickel) to achieve its bright, luminous colour.

It is typically coated with a thin layer of rhodium to enhance its brilliance and durability.

18K white gold contains 75% pure gold and 25% metal alloys, offering a perfect balance of strength and luxury.

By comparison:

• 14K white gold contains 58.5% pure gold and 41.5% alloys, making it more affordable but less precious and slightly more susceptible to oxidation
• 9K white gold contains just 37.5% pure gold and 62.5% alloys, making it more accessible, but also more prone to wear and tarnishing

18K white gold remains the preferred choice for engagement rings and fine jewellery, thanks to its exceptional brilliance and lasting durability.

Yellow gold is natural gold combined with silver and copper, retaining its iconic warm tone.

White gold, by contrast, is alloyed with white metals and coated with rhodium, giving it a more neutral, contemporary colour.

White gold and diamonds form a timeless pairing for truly elegant jewellery.

Consider the following:

• The quality of the diamond (cut, clarity, colour, carat)
• An 18K white gold alloy for optimal durability
• The setting style (claw, pavé, halo), which greatly influences the brilliance of the piece
• The ring size, for a perfect, comfortable fit

Platinum is a naturally white metal, denser and rarer than white gold. It requires no rhodium plating, but is more costly and heavier to wear.

An 18K white gold ring is a more accessible alternative in fine jewellery, with a comparable brilliance.

Price varies according to the weight of the metal, the quality of the diamond and the design.

As a guide, pieces range from a few hundred to several thousand pounds, depending on the size and purity of the stone.
