Engagement Ring Metals: The Perfect Finish

Choosing Metal That Stands the Test of Time

There are many questions to ask yourself when choosing your engagement ring metal. Do you have a personal preference for a particular color such as yellow gold or white gold? Will the metal you choose need to be durable to fit an active lifestyle? Will the metal you pick spotlight your diamond and your setting? Do you have a sensitivity to certain types of metal? Would you prefer sleek and minimalist designs or something more elegant and ornate?

When you’re considering which metal you’d prefer for your engagement ring, we’ve found it’s helpful to gather as much information as possible before making your choice.

Yellow Gold

Warm and traditional, yellow gold provides a high-contrast backdrop to a sparkling lab-grown diamond that makes the gemstone look especially bright. Available in 14k or 18k, it’s durable and ideal for everyday wear. For couples who love an elegant look, yellow gold is the perfect choice.

White Gold

With a mirror-like finish, white gold creates a modern-looking engagement ring. Because it’s an alloy of gold and white metals, it’s slightly harder and more scratch-resistant than yellow gold. Choose between 14k or 18k for a sophisticated aesthetic that complements any outfit.

Rose Gold

Couples looking for a romantic aesthetic often find rose gold to be an ideal choice. Its distinctive blush pink hues make it attractive for those who appreciate vintage-inspired designs. 14k or 18K rose gold complements every skin tone, resulting in an engagement ring that truly stands out.

Platinum

For those with an active lifestyle or sensitive skin, platinum is a stellar choice. Because of its density, it’s extremely durable and is ideal for keeping precious gemstones secure. Best of all, its luxurious silvery-white color won’t yellow over time and provides a brilliant setting for a dazzling lab-grown diamond.

Two Tone

Two-tone engagement rings combine two metals. White gold is often used for the prongs that secure the center stone to showcase the brilliance of the diamond without picking up tints from the setting. Two-tone engagement rings are ideal for those who like to wear a variety of silver, yellow-gold, or white-gold jewelry.
