White Gold Engagement Rings

Why White Gold for Engagement Rings?

White Gold is the most popular choice for engagement rings. Its lustrous, silvery metallic surface complements the brilliant white light of your diamond and can make your diamonds appear larger and brighter.

The Properties of White Gold

  • All White Gold Rings at 1791 Diamonds are 75% pure gold (18kt gold)
  • The other 25% is nickel, silver or palladium
  • White gold is rhodium plated to give it a longer lasting shinier surface
  • 18kt White Gold is cheaper than platinum
 

Will White Gold Scratch Easily?

18 karat white gold is harder than 18kt yellow gold. However a ring that is worn every day, will endure some wear and tear. A visit to the jeweller every so often for a polish will keep your ring from becoming too dull from scratches. You can also buy cleaning products from most supermarkets to clean your jewellery.

Can I Design My Own White Gold Engagement Ring?

1791 Diamonds has a Custom Engagement Ring Design Service. You can design your very own, unique ring with the advice and design skills of their Head Jewellery Designer Alice Herald. The process is broken down step by step for you in our guide or you can browse some of our rings in our Designer Collections to get you inspired and then contact us to get started.

Hallmarking Engagement Rings

'Hallmarking' is the process of testing the metal of a product and validating it with a stamp, confirming it is what we say it is. Your engagement ring is sent to the London Assay Office at the prestigious Goldsmiths Hall to be hallmarked. All items described as containing precious metal legally have to be tested, assayed and hallmarked in the United Kingdom.

Inside your ring, you will find 3 stamps. You can see examples of these below.
