Engagement Ring Guide
Choosing your engagement should be one of the most romantic and one of the most enjoyable experiences in your life. At DiamondExchange we have tried to help make it just that.
To choose the perfect diamond engagement ring we suggest you read the guide below and follow these 3 easy steps:
- Choose Your Diamond
- Choose Your Metal
- Choose Your Setting
1.Choose Your Diamond
If you have not already selected your diamond we recommend you review our guide on choosing your diamond.
2.Choose Your Metal
It is likely you will have an idea of the metal and the colour of the metal you prefer, however, for those who are not sure we offer the following tips. At DiamondExchange we can supply any design using 18ct white gold, 18ct yellow gold or platinum.
18ct white gold
18ct white gold is popular because it looks like platinum but is less expensive.
It has the same composition as yellow gold, but with different alloys giving it its “white” colour.
It has a high purity of 75% pure gold makes it non-tarnish.
It is plated with a hard metal called rhodium, which gives it a high polish.
18ct yellow gold
18ct yellow gold is popular because gold naturally forms in this colour.
It has a high purity of 75% pure gold making it resistant to tarnish and rust.
When crafted with a white gold setting the ring enhances the whiteness of a diamond as much as white gold or platinum rings.
Platinum
Platinum is a rare, and valuable, metal, which is “white” in colour.
It is a very strong metal which is damage-resistant requiring little maintenance.
It has a high purity of 95% pure platinum making it a perfect choice for those who may have metal allergies.
