White Gold Engagement Rings

18kt White Gold Content Declaration

At 1791 Diamonds quality is very important and we only use the best materials suited to making diamond engagement rings that look beautiful and wear well.

Our 18kt Gold is made with at least 75% pure gold with other metals added to make it stronger and to give it a lovely white look. To enhance this shiny white look and to add strength to the surface of your ring, we plate our 18kt white gold rings with a layer of rhodium, a metal which is a member of the platinum family. This also aids against the tarnish and discolouration of your ring.

The 18kt White gold that we use at 1791 Diamonds is a high quality precious material. Our 18kt white gold is alloyed with palladium so it still retains its "whiteness" after the rhodium plating has worn away and therefore delays the need for re-plating your engagement ring. Some cheaper 18kt white gold rings are alloyed with metals such as nickel. This can leave a yellow tinge to the base metal after the rhodium plating has worn away and therefore re-plating has to be done more frequently.

If our customers prefer, we also have the option of ordering our rings in Platinum; it is 95% pure and hypoallergenic.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
