CHOOSING A METAL

Metal choice can give a completely different feel to your ring. The same style can look like an antique style engagement ring in yellow gold but a modern take on vintage in white gold. But we’re here to help you find the metal that perfectly fits your personal style.

Yellow Gold

Want a color that gives off a vintage look? Opt for 18 karat yellow gold for a rich color that channels past generations of engagement rings or go with 14 karat, which imparts a subtle warm glow to your whole ring. Yellow gold is known to even help make lower color grade diamonds appear whiter, making it a savvy choice for getting your ideal ring on a budget.

White Gold

In need of a versatile metal that can be worn daily? We recommend 14 karat white gold, which we coat with rhodium for an extra protective layer. Opt for 18 karat white gold for more durability and a silvery shine similar to platinum. A great compliment to vivid gemstones or sparkly diamonds.

Rose Gold

Impart a romantic vibe with 14 karat rose gold. For those that want more of a warm gold hue, we recommend 18 karat rose gold. Beautifully paired with contemporary designs and vintage styles, rose gold metal looks best with fancy shaped stones and deeper colored gemstones like ruby.

Platinum

Did you know platinum is more expensive and rare than gold? Famous for its durability and silvery hue, it is wonderful at resisting scratches and abrasion. This precious metal is ideal for wedding bands and rings that will be worn daily. We recommend white gemstones or colored gemstones that have a cooler hue like blue sapphires.
