When you’re choosing an engagement ring, you’re choosing a piece of jewelry that will be worn forever as a symbol of your relationship. This means that you want to find a piece of jewelry that’s versatile enough to go with everything and strong enough to endure the test of time. For these reasons, white gold has emerged as the most popular band choice for engagement rings.
White Gold: What You Need to Know
Gold is naturally yellow, but in order to be durable enough to hold up throughout the life of a piece of jewelry, it gets mixed with other metals to create a stronger alloy. When mixed with certain metals, like rhodium and palladium, the gold color fades out to create the beautiful silver known as white gold. White gold became popular for making engagement rings during the first half of the 20th century, as metalworking techniques for this process became more sophisticated. This is why there are so many beautiful white gold vintage engagement rings in our collection.
White gold is loved for its ability to highlight the pure brilliance of diamonds, as well as bring out the color of alternative stones. Like other metals used in engagement rings, it also has a special symbolic meaning: friendship. While it’s easy to stress the romance and passion in the moment when you’re getting engaged, this symbolism is really special, since a good friendship is the core of a strong marriage.
