• The alliance, quite a symbol

The wedding ring is the most symbolic jewel in jewelry. Indeed, in white, yellow, pink or platinum gold, the ring exchanged by the newlyweds on the wedding day has become the most famous jewel in the world. The first traces of wedding rings and engagement rings would have appeared in ancient Egypt. They can be thin or thick and the metal you want. This ring is generally placed on the ring finger of the left hand, finger connected directly with the heart. The circular shape of the ring symbolizes eternity. Since then, the wedding ring has become an emblematic jewel, recognized worldwide for its symbolic value.

• The benefits of white gold

White gold is a metal obtained after undergoing a special treatment called rhodium plating. That is, the base gold has been coated with a thin layer of metal (called rhodium) to give it its white color and shine.

If white gold is an alloy that is increasingly appreciated and used in jewelry, this is explained by the physical and aesthetic characteristics of this metal. Indeed, this alloy has many advantages.

To begin with, white gold is a metal of exceptional quality because 18 carat gold is recognized as being the most resistant metal used in jewellery. In addition, this quality makes it stainless and therefore much more durable over time. This metal is also more accessible than platinum, a metal also used for engagement rings or wedding rings.

The aesthetics of white gold is highly appreciated by a majority of people. Indeed, one of its main advantages is that it goes with all the colors of stones: emerald, ruby, sapphire, tourmaline, spinel or other stones. The goldwhite combines perfectly well with the latter. Diamonds commonly adorn wedding rings and engagement rings, for their brilliance and symbolism. Thus, white gold is an ideal metal for all types of jewelry: necklace, bracelet, earrings, pendant or ring. This metal goes perfectly with everyday jewelry.

You can also combine your diamond wedding ring with a bangle bracelet, also set (or not) with diamonds.

The diamond is the stone of marriage par excellence. In fact, this stone of exceptional brilliance is just as attractive as a paving around a ring as it is set in the heart of a solitaire.

• How to take care of your white gold wedding ring?

Gold, whether white, pink, black or yellow, is a noble and precious metal, sought after for its incomparable brilliance, durability and quality. However, this metal can tarnish over time and requires special care and maintenance. Indeed, daily activities such as household chores, dust and other elements affect the brilliance of the gold and the sparkle of the stones by dirtying them and deteriorating the polishing.

Note that you should never clean gold jewelry with products intended for cleaning silver because it is not the same metal. In addition, it will damage the rhodium plating of the white gold. Other elements are to be avoided such as perfume which contains alcohol which can damage the metal, lacquer or abrasive products such as bleach and detergents.

If your white gold ring is adorned with gemstones, you will need to adapt your cleaning method. Indeed, the emerald and the pearl are fragile stones that do not support hot water. Also, products that leave a greasy film are not recommended for cleaning diamonds. Indeed, they risk tarnishing them. Generally, hot water with dishwashing liquid or Marseille soap are the most used and effective techniques.

• What is the difference between platinum and white gold?

Platinum is often confused with white gold because they have a similar appearance. However, platinum, unlike white gold, is a naturally white metal. However, its price is more expensive and its weight is heavier than that of white gold. In addition, this metal being denser, it is more difficult to work but has a higher quality. Thus, platinum is often preferred for wedding rings while white gold will be used all the more for engagement rings. White gold has a brighter, whiter hue.
