The colour of the gold from which an engagement ring is made is a feature just as important as its design, or even as the precious stones that adorn it. Of course there can be exceptions, cases where it doesn't matter quite so much, since the message and the promise you're making are what count most in her eyes.
But let's return to that situation where you don't know whether to choose 18 kt white gold or 18 kt yellow gold. Look at the glass as half full. That is, it's good to have options, and the fact that you don't know exactly which to choose means that neither colour displeases you; they stand equal chances in your eyes. Of course, we should also mention rose gold, but to begin with we'll consider only the two options set out above, because they are more commonly encountered. Think about the person who will receive this diamond engagement ring as a gift. Have you noticed her wearing other jewellery? Do you take into account how she matches her clothing with the accessories she already owns? We don't want to dwell on the world of fashion and what's in vogue, whether or not it's a colour of the year; instead, it's wise to think things through with an eye to the future. Don't make a decision you'll later regret, especially since we're talking about unique, dedicated jewellery to enjoy for a whole lifetime. An 18 kt gold engagement ring is no mere whim. Before you reach a firm decision, we'll focus on some information that will make all of this an accessible and transparent process. Of course, it can be found both online, on our website firesc.com, right as you configure your engagement ring, and offline, for the more curious by nature, a visit to one of the FIRESC shops in Bucharest and Constanța being quite enough. What actually is pure 18 kt gold? Yes, you read that right. We use exclusively pure 18 kt gold, in terms everyone can understand, gold at its first alloying from a 24 kt ingot. The engagement ring you give is best not made from worn gold of unknown origin, second-hand, precisely because we're talking about a unique, dedicated piece of jewellery. The alloys used comply with EU regulations, contain no nickel and give 18 kt gold a durability similar to that of gold with a lower carat. Laser technology is used for joining, certainly not cadmium. Likewise, yellow gold is not coated with rhodium to make it look like white gold. The latter goes from the metallic grey of platinum to a brilliant, impressive white with the help of an electrolysis process (through which a layer of rhodium is applied). Setting aside these technical aspects, important as they are, let's also think about the practical ones. For example, later on you'll have to choose the wedding rings. Choose the colour that will go with them. Perhaps the person you love wants to wear them together, as a set. If you're not 100% sure, then rest assured you can bet on a combination of the two, either in equal measure or with one taking the lead. Of course, the subject is a complex one, which is precisely why we don't want to bore you with too many details. As such, opinions are quite divided too. Whether it's family or friends offering their view, they tend rather to put obstacles in your way, which is not advisable. So leave the "folklore" aside, take into account the information you have, listen to your heart, think of her and choose! Do give yourself the time you need, though! Don't forget that no choice is a wrong one, and she will surely appreciate the effort you've made to the full!
