White gold ring with diamond

Since its inception, white gold has become highly valued by both jewelers and buyers.

Wedding and engagement ring made of white gold with a diamond has become very fashionable to give recently.

Wearing jewelry made of this metal is preferred by all categories of ages, regardless of gender.

White gold is a very malleable and durable material that holds precious stones better than others. Special strength is achieved by adding platinum to pure gold alloy. Fixing a stone is one of the main steps in creating a piece of jewelry, as it is necessary to give a guarantee to the buyer that the diamond will not be lost unexpectedly. And regardless of the sample, white gold is valued equally highly.

One of the features of white gold jewelry with diamonds is the fact that the noble origin of the metal is greater than that of the stone. Most often, diamonds are set in a setting made of the most expensive and strong metal, which is created by an alloy of platinum and gold. The result is a harmonious decoration, with a beautiful shade of metal and brilliance no worse than that of a diamond.

From the fact that white gold rings are increasingly being bought for weddings or engagements, a second feature of such rings follows. The bride is purity and innocence. Around the celebration only white attributes.

And a ring of delicate white color with a large stone or with a scattering will organically complement the image. It is worth noting that rings made of white precious metal are chosen not only by brides, but also by grooms. Only men most often refuse precious inserts.

If you want to be sure that you are buying a high quality ring, start by searching for the perfect piece of jewelry in the catalogs of world brands.

The best in quality are:

• Cartier.

• Tiffany.

• Van Cleef & Arpels.

• Harry Winston.

• Korloff.

• Bulgari.

• Mikimoto.

• Buccellati.

• Piaget.

• Chopard.

Each of these companies honestly deserved their place on the list. Only the best craftsmen have been working on the creation for many years and using the best materials. Each brand is a separate story, professional designers and jewelers, unique and memorable style.

If we consider jewelry from Tiffany, then they are all as one the embodiment of elegance, luxury and grace. In this regard, Van Cleef & Arpels is not far behind: every detail of the jewelry is made gracefully and elegantly.

The Bulgari brand is focused on the production of wedding jewelry. Rings for young people look especially stylish and sophisticated. Korloff produces exclusively luxury jewelry, including unique watches that absolutely cannot be confused with another brand.

Mikimoto is a brand that has chosen the finest cut as its hallmark. In most of the jewelry, pearls of various shapes and shades are found.

White precious metal is in perfect harmony with the brilliance and beauty of diamonds. Due to its delicate color, the metal emphasizes and complements the play of sun glare in the stones.

In addition, gold firmly holds the insert and becomes a reliable support for the diamond. Such a setting retains the wonderful properties of the stone for many years.

Yellow gold "shares" its color with the stone, thereby dulling their brilliance. For diamonds, such a neighborhood is unacceptable, as they must shine in all their glory.

Another wonderful "neighbor" of precious stones is platinum. In some ways, this metal is even better than white gold, but its price is too high. Units can buy such an ornament, therefore such products are created very rarely or to order.

Currently, you can buy rings that are decorated with one large or a scattering of small stones. Often the ring is decorated with a path of identical small or medium stones. All these variations are possible due to the difference in weight and size of diamonds. The weight of gemstones is determined by carats.

In ancient times, the weight of a stone was equated to the weight of grains. Now it is known for certain that 1 carat is equal to the weight of one grain of acacia. This is probably why, in Greek, carat means acacia.

Since the weight of the seeds was not always the same, the weight of the stones changed from time to time both up and down. In the modern world, a single measure has been established for a carat, which is equal to one fifth of a gram.

With the size of diamonds is much easier, since it is equal to the diameter of the stone. Usually weight and diameter have a certain relationship, although sometimes there are slight deviations due to hand cutting. For clarity: 1 carat is 6.4 millimeters in diameter.

All diamonds are classified into two main categories:

1. The shape of the cut. Gemstones have different cuts. In this case, everything depends on the imagination and experience of the master. A professional can create both a perfect circle and everyone's favorite heart. The play of sunlight and brilliance in a diamond will depend on the shape of the cut. The shaping process itself consists of grinding a diamond with special jewelry tools.
2. Stone shape. The most common forms of stones among jewelers are circle, heart and "princess". Each of these shapes fits perfectly into a gold frame for a variety of jewelry, including wedding rings. It is rare to find diamonds with other shapes. These include oval and pear-shaped stones, as well as radiant and "Marquis". Rings with a square and black stone look very original.

In addition to the shape, the cut hides some of the imperfections of natural stones and increases their brilliance. There are only three types of cut:

• mixed;
• Stepped (this was used in the old days);
• Standard diamond.

Due to the mixed cut, the weight of the original stone is preserved as much as possible. In the process, the play of light in the crystal is best revealed. With the help of this type, diamonds such as radiant and Princess are born.

Step cut is used to create rectangular and square diamonds, as well as to process non-standard stones. While the brilliant cut aims to create round stones.

If we have decided on gold - white looks more advantageous and nobler, then what about the stone?

What you should pay attention to when choosing:

1. Size and weight. These parameters are of great importance. The bigger, the better.
2. The shape of the cut. The brilliance of the stone depends on this.
3. Price. Everything is clear here: the purchase depends on your capabilities. Although it is not worth chasing a carat, because such a purchase is a manifestation of attention, and not a targeted investment. On average, a ring with a small stone can cost an amount equal to two average monthly salaries.
4. Color. Stones of the color category 5, 6 and 7 are suitable for white gold rings. While for yellow gold, colors under the numbers 8-1 and 8-2 are more suitable. Although the differences can be seen in the case of examining the stone on a completely white background in daylight.
5. Purity. Everyone wants to get only a high-quality stone, but it is impossible to see a defect with the naked eye and without professional skills. To check in the cabin, you can ask for a magnifying glass. Clarity groups 6 and 7 are very favorable in terms of price. These stones are distinguished by their large size and low price. While stones with a purity of 5 and below are valued much higher.

The cut group is an important parameter of a gemstone that affects the beauty and value of a diamond.

Even if you bought the highest quality and most expensive ring, it still needs careful care. To prolong the life of jewelry, you need to store them properly: diamond rings should be placed in separate cells. Also, all jewelry should be stored in absolute darkness.

If you wear jewelry every day, then remember a few simple rules:

• Gold and diamonds are not recommended for hot weather;
• In the bath, in the shower and in the sauna, decorations must be removed and cleaned in a dry place. The same goes for swimming in the sea.
• When washing dishes or hands, the ring and bracelets must be removed.
• When applying the cream on the hands should not be a single piece of jewelry.

Water, temperature fluctuations, bright sun, dust, urban smog, cosmetics and perfumery - that's what badly affects the appearance of jewelry.

White gold jewelry is expensive, stylish and beautiful. In order for these three words to constantly accompany the product, you need to be able to care for it. Both home and professional cleaning can handle this.

How to clean gold at home:

• Soft cloth or microfiber cloth. Regularly wipe your product with a dry piece of cloth for 10 minutes, and it will not cease to please you with its brilliance.
• Soap solution. If the product has already darkened a little, then warm water and soap will save you from this scourge. To do this, the decoration must be soaked in the solution for an hour or two. After that, you can rub the dirt spots a little with a brush, rinse and dry gently on a soft cloth.
• Toothpaste or powder. This mouth cleaner is great for removing dirt on jewelry.Just brush the ring for 10 minutes, then rinse off the paste and dry the product.

• Sugar syrup. This method is unusual, but at the same time simple and very effective. For sugar cleaning, it is recommended to dissolve a large spoonful of sugar in 200 grams of warm water. In this solution, jewelry should lie down for about four hours. After the time has passed, the jewelry is washed and dried.
• Ammonium chloride. Ammonia is a cheap and useful remedy. To clean only gold items, you will need a solution with water 50/50. If the product is with inserts of precious metals, then you need to act more carefully: you need to add no more than 10 drops to a glass of warm water. In the finished solution, the decoration should be kept for no more than two hours.

A white gold ring with a diamond is the best choice, as price, quality and beauty are combined proportionally in this piece of jewelry. However, if you are more into beauty, then sapphire is the one for you, as it is considered to be one of the most beautiful stones. And if you prefer obscenely expensive jewelry, then you just need a ruby ​​as a precious insert.
