When selecting the perfect engagement ring, one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the metal. At London Rocks Jewellery, we understand that this choice can be overwhelming, given the variety of options available. Here, we'll explore the most popular metals for engagement rings, highlighting their unique characteristics to help you make an informed decision.
Platinum: The Luxury Choice
Platinum is renowned for its durability and luxurious appearance, making it a top choice for engagement rings. It is naturally white, hypoallergenic, and resistant to scratches and tarnish, ensuring your ring remains secure and vibrant over time. At London Rocks Jewellery, we often pair platinum with lab-grown diamonds or sustainable lab diamonds to create stunning, eco-friendly pieces that exude elegance and sophistication.
Gold: Timeless Elegance
Gold is available in several hues, including yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. Each offers a distinct aesthetic:
-
Yellow Gold: A classic choice, ideal for those who appreciate a warm, vintage look. It's durable, especially in 18ct form, but softer than platinum.
-
White Gold: Offers a modern, sleek appearance similar to platinum but requires rhodium plating to maintain its colour.
-
Rose Gold: Adds a romantic touch with its pinkish hue, perfect for those seeking a unique twist on traditional designs.
Silver: Not Recommended for Engagement Rings
While silver is affordable and has a bright appearance, it is too soft for daily wear and prone to tarnishing, making it less suitable for engagement rings.
