5 metals for the perfect wedding/engagement ring

With the number of different metals available today in the market, choosing the perfect metal for an engagement or wedding ring is a harder decision to make. You don’t only consider the gemstone it will hold, but also the comfort of wearing it for the rest of your married life.

Here, we listed down the different metals that can help you decide what’s best for you and your significant other.

Platinum

Platinum is infamously chosen for jewellery especially for engagement and women's wedding rings. It’s a naturally white metal, so its colour will not fade or change over time.

It is durable, dense and hypoallergenic. So, it’s the best option for couples with an active lifestyle and a great choice for those with sensitive skin.

However, because of its rarity and because it’s considered one of the most precious when it comes to jewellery metals, it’s more expensive compared to other metals.

White gold

From combining yellow gold with copper, zinc and nickel, you get the silvery white colour of white gold. This material offers a wider range of rings and is a cheaper option than platinum.

It also provides a brilliant backdrop for diamond centre stones; however, this metal gets yellow over time, therefore, it needs re-plating often.

Yellow gold

The traditional option for an engagement and wedding ring. Yellow gold is the classic choice for a ring, considering its beauty, grace and the fact that its colour stays over time.

A mixture of pure gold, copper and silver gives the yellow gold a warm look.

Rose gold

With its popularity, rose gold is now one of the top choices for engagement and wedding rings. Aside from its affordability, rose gold is also more durable compared to yellow or white gold.

Though this material is not considered hypoallergenic and it’s not also as widely available like other metals.

Titanium

Known as the hardest metal in the world, this metal has the properties ideal for jewellery. Not only because it’s one of the strongest metals and doesn’t cost too much, titanium is also a good choice for people with skin sensitivities.

But because of its durability, rings made of titanium can’t be resized easily.
