White Gold Lab Grown Rings

White Gold Lab Grown Diamond Ring

There is something so classic about the cool look of white gold for diamond rings. While it’s true that bridal jewelry is a very personal choice, the clean cool look of white gold next to icy white lab grown diamonds are simply divine. Because lab grown diamonds are created in exquisite highly colorless grades with extraordinary clarity, they look spectacular with white gold.

While white gold is a popular option today for bridal jewelry, it wasn’t always the case. Gold used in jewelry is rarely pure gold, owing to the soft nature of pure gold. So it’s alloyed with different metals to improve its strength and durability. When white gold was developed—for high end jewelry, they used different metals as an alloy than was previously used. For instance, to whiten the gold, an alloy of silver, palladium or even platinum was introduced. This lighted up the metal color considerably. Once this metal came on the market, the public fell in love with it.

Jewelers tell us that white gold should only be used with very colorless diamonds since it could make the stones look even more ‘yellowish’ next to the super white gold. That’s great news for lab grown diamonds, because that is one of its strengths---lab grown diamonds are celebrated for their icy white hues. So if you’re looking for a luxurious looking lab grown diamond engagement ring, consider pairing your lab grown diamond with a cool and sophisticated white gold metal. Lab grown diamonds and white gold seem like a match made in jewelry heaven.
