White gold Wedding Rings

The cool brilliance of white gold is modern, elegant and sophisticated which makes it an ideal choice for a wedding ring. Unlike yellow gold which can have a tendency to look a bit on the dressy side, white gold can easily be dressed up or down and will always perfectly match whatever outfit you are wearing. The pale silver color goes equally as well with jeans and a t-shirt as it does with an elegant evening gown.

Another benefit of using white rather than yellow gold in a wedding ring is that it tends to showcase the diamond better. The yellow tone of the gold can sometimes affect the look of the diamond. White gold on the other hand, allows the cut and clarity of the stone to shine through making it the ideal setting for a beautiful stone. As long as you are paying a lot of money for a diamond you may as well show it off to its best advantage.

Aside from the appearance, white gold wedding rings also have practical benefits over their yellow counterparts. First off they tend to be more durable than rings made from yellow gold. That means they will stand up to everyday wear and tear better and will be more scratch resistant. Since an engagement ring is worn every single day that is an important consideration. Choosing a more durable ring means less upkeep and care will be needed over the life of the ring.

Cost is something else you should think about when shopping for a ring. For the most part, white gold rings tend to cost less than yellow gold or platinum rings. By saving money on the metal of the ring you may be able to either afford a larger diamond or use that money to help pay for your wedding or honeymoon. You still get a beautiful, classy ring that will last a lifetime, but for a fraction of the price of some of the other options.
