White Gold Diamond Rings

White gold and diamonds are known to represent such qualities as purity, commitment and eternal love.

Both gemstone and precious metal share similarities in terms of symbolism, representing luxury and success, as well as everlasting love. A men's white gold diamond ring can project vigour and confidence, especially if it has a bold and minimalist design, while a diamond and white gold ring for women can represent classical elegance and sophistication.

A white gold diamond ring can make for a beautiful symbol of a strong and lasting union, with white gold being quite a durable metal and diamonds known to be one of the strongest minerals on Earth. White gold is also thought to symbolise new beginnings and to signify friendship, an important cornerstone in any relationship.

In some Eastern cultures, white gold is a prized symbol of prosperity. Diamonds, of course, have been recognised across the world for their timeless beauty since ancient times, once worn by kings and queens as a sign of strength and power.

When it comes to symbols of love and romance, white gold and diamonds are a perfect match.

Choosing a white gold diamond ring can be as simple as falling in love with the style or design. However, you should also keep in mind a few other factors, including diamond quality, and who you are buying for.

Diamonds are graded according to the Four C's: Cut, Clarity, Colour and Carat Weight. These may be elements that are important to you, and wish to keep in mind.

White gold diamond rings come in many stone shapes, including oval, round, emerald and pear. Choose the one that best reflects your personal style.

The perfect carat weight will come down to personal preference. A well-cut white gold diamond solitaire ring can reflect a considerable amount of light no matter its size, while a larger look can be achieved with a halo or pavé setting, offering sparkle at all angles.

Thanks to their shared beauty, white gold and diamonds can be versatile, pairing beautifully with coloured gemstones. A sapphire and diamond ring in white gold is always classic, while lighter-coloured gemstones like morganite and aquamarine can create a harmonious look.

White gold diamond rings can be styled a number of ways, so it depends on the type of look you’re after.

While traditionally the same precious metals were worn together, breaking this rule can create a more edgy look. White gold pairs well in this case with rose gold and yellow gold, either worn as rings or layered pendants. If choosing rings to create the look, layer them on different fingers, or next to each other if the bands are narrow.

Wearing white gold diamond rings as part of a meaningful set is also a great way to style them, as they act as a reminder of a special part of your life. For example, a white gold diamond eternity ring looks stunning as part of a bridal set, framing your engagement ring which sits alongside your wedding band.

Try a pair of diamond studs in white gold, with a matching white gold necklace, which creates an elevated look for those more formal occasions. When it comes to outfits that suit white gold, go with cool tones like violet, navy, or green to match the cool tones of the metal.
