White Gold Lab Diamond Engagement Ring

18 Carat Quality

All pieces are crafted from 18 carat metal, containing 75% pure gold alloyed with palladium and silver for strength and colour. This creates a pale finish that is then rhodium plated for extra brightness. The 18k standard is preferred by fine jewellers for its balance of beauty and durability. Each piece carries a UK hallmark as your guarantee of purity.

Value For Money

This metal offers excellent value compared to platinum while achieving a similar aesthetic. The difference allows you to either save on your purchase or invest in a larger centre stone. Our sale section includes pieces at reduced amounts throughout the year. We also offer finance options for those who prefer to spread the cost, making it easier to buy what you truly want.

Maintenance and Care

The rhodium plating may wear over time, revealing a slightly warmer tone beneath. This is normal and easily remedied with replating, which most jewellers offer as a simple service. Between replating, clean your piece with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and remove your jewellery during heavy manual work to maintain its appearance for years to come.

Pairing With Bands

This metal pairs naturally with a matching band for a coordinated look. Many couples also mix metals, pairing with yellow or rose for contrast. Consider whether you want your bands to sit flush together when selecting. Our options include shaped bands designed to fit around different centre stone shapes.

FAQs

Is this metal ok for everyday wear?

Absolutely. It is one of the most popular metals for fine jewellery. It offers a bright, modern aesthetic and pairs beautifully with all stone types.

Does it tarnish?

No. However, the rhodium plating may wear over time, revealing a slightly warmer tone. This is easily fixed with replating every few years.

Is it considered cheap?

Not at all. 18k contains 75% pure precious metal. It sits at a mid cost between silver and platinum, offering excellent quality and durability.
