Create a Unique Engagement Ring

Rings Jewelry Report By Alan King

14k gold diamond engagement ring

The classic engagement ring is a diamond solitaire mounted on a choice of 14K or 18K gold or platinum. Platinum is rarer, therefore more expensive. It is harder to damage, won’t wear away, develops a rich, satin finish, and won’t tarnish. 18K yellow or white gold is an alloy of 75% gold to 25% copper or nickel. For durability, the prong settings should be in platinum rather than gold. There are also engagement rings that come as a set with the wedding band; the two rings complement each other to form a single ring when worn.

The shape of the diamond is what makes an engagement ring unique. The Princess is square or nearly square with pointed corners. If you prefer a more rectangular shape with cut corners, the Emerald cut highlights the clarity of the diamond with a larger table, or top surface. Radiant cut diamonds have curved side cuts that make it versatile and very interesting, especially when set with side stones. The Pear or Teardrop is popular in necklaces as well as rings, and also has a slimming effect if the ratio is 1.75.

A unique shape, the Heart can be either slim or wide depending on the length-to-width ratio. . And finally, the Cushion has been a popular choice for more than a century, with large facets and round corners to enhance the brilliancy of the diamond.

Buy 14k Gold

Rings Jewelry Report By Hee Cheol Kim

Is there a big difference between 14K Gold, 18k Gold and 24k gold? Gold is very precious due to its ability to withstand the change of time and pure gold does not rust, corrode, or become damaged from elemental damage. Pure gold means that it’s 100% gold and is not mixed with any other minerals. However, because pure gold is easily manipulated, it’s not a good choice to use pure gold for jewelry as it tends to bend break.

14 karat gold is more suitable for creating jewelry as this gold is mixed with another alloy such as copper or nickel that makes it harder. If gold is mixed with another alloy such as zinc or nickel, it will become white gold. 14K is a common gold compound that is used for wedding bands, rings, and bracelets.

The drawbacks of 14K gold rings are that they tend to lose their luster faster and one must take great precautions so the gold does not lose its polish. The sweat from your skin can mix with the gold compound and rapidly fade the gold. If you are worried about gold fading, try to purchase a higher karat.
