White Gold Wedding Ring

Is a White Gold Wedding Ring Right For You?

The wedding ring is a symbol of the unbroken, never ending love and commitment between a married couple. Selecting the wedding rings is even more crucial that choosing a wedding dress or planning your reception. After all, the wedding rings will be gracing the fingers of the bride and groom for years to come, perhaps even lifetimes. Most people wear their wedding rings twenty-four hours a day, and never take them off. That's why it's so important to choose a ring you truly love. Many people like the look of white gold as opposed to yellow gold or platinum. But is a white gold wedding right right for you? That depends on what qualities you're looking for.

White gold is made from a combination of gold and one or more white metals. These metals may include palladium or silver. You may find antique white gold rings that contain nickel, which is rarely used these days because it can cause skin irritation. White gold must be plated with a coating of rhodium to give it a silvery gleam. The plating will eventually wear away and should be replaced every few years by a professional jeweler. The good news is that it's reasonable in cost to have this done.

Like yellow gold, white gold is measured in karats. There is 14 karat gold, 18 karat gold, and 24 karat gold. The higher the karat, the higher the amount of gold as compared with other metals. Pure gold is not recommended for jewelry because it is very soft. Adding other metals to gold gives it the qualities it needs to be crafted into rings and other jewelry items. This is quite different from platinum, which looks a lot like white gold but is more pure, heavier, and more durable. It's also a great deal more expensive.

A white gold wedding ring is ideal for anyone who loves the look of silver but wants something more durable and precious for their wedding jewelry. While platinum is even better, some couples simply cannot afford it. White gold is a beautiful, high quality alternative to platinum for people who want the look without the high price. The white gold engagement ring is also a popular choice for many couples who love the look of dazzling diamonds against shining silvery white. If you're not sure if white gold is right for you, try on some pieces at the jewelry store. Once you see how it looks on your finger, you're better equipped to make a decision.
