What are the material options for engagement rings?

There are many choices of materials for engagement rings. Here are some common options:

First, precious metal materials

Gold

Features: Gold is one of the most common and traditional materials for engagement rings. It has good ductility and plasticity, and is easy to process into various styles. At the same time, gold symbolizes wealth and nobility, and has the potential to maintain and appreciate in value.

Purity selection: Gold rings are available in different purities, such as 14K, 18K, 22K and 24K. The higher the purity, the higher the gold content and the yellower the color. Generally speaking, 18K gold is an ideal choice for making engagement rings because it not only maintains the color of gold, but also increases hardness and durability.

Platinum

Features: Platinum is a naturally formed white precious metal with extremely high density and purity. It is not easy to fade, has strong oxidation resistance, and has a soft color, which can well set off the brilliance of diamonds. Platinum rings usually give people a noble and elegant feeling.

Purity mark: Only jewelry with a content of 85 parts per thousand or more can be called platinum jewelry, and the purity is usually as high as 90%-95%, marked as PT900 or PT950.

Platinum

Features: Platinum is similar to platinum and is also a white precious metal. It has good hardness and ductility, and can be well inlaid and protected by diamonds. The color of platinum rings is similar to platinum, but the price is relatively more affordable.

Note the difference: When purchasing, you need to pay attention to distinguish between platinum and platinum to avoid confusion.

Second, alloy material

18K gold

Features: 18K gold is an alloy made of 75% gold and 25% other metals (such as silver, copper, etc.). It has the luster and texture of gold, and increases hardness and durability. 18K gold rings are diverse in style and rich in color (such as white, yellow, rose gold, etc.), and are deeply loved by consumers.

Advantages: Due to the high hardness of 18K gold, it can be inlaid with larger gems, and it is not easy for gems to fall off.

Other K gold

Types: In addition to 18K gold, there are also K golds of different purities such as 22K gold and 14K gold to choose from. These K gold rings also have good hardness and durability, but the price and color may vary depending on the purity.

Third, other materials

Palladium

Features: Palladium is a silvery-white metal with low density, good ductility, and stable chemical properties. It is not easily oxidized and discolored, nor is it easily corroded by certain acidic substances, so it is also an ideal material for engagement rings.

Titanium

Features: Titanium is a lightweight, high-strength metal with excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Titanium rings are relatively low in price, and at the same time have good durability and modern feel, suitable for people who are sensitive to metals.

Other heterogeneous materials

Types: In addition to the above-mentioned metal materials, there are also some heterogeneous materials for engagement rings to choose from, such as clay, plastic, leather, and wood. These materials usually have a unique texture and appearance, but durability and maintenance may require attention.

In summary, there are many choices of materials for engagement rings, and consumers can choose the right material based on their preferences, budget, and wearing needs. When choosing, it is recommended to consider factors such as the durability, aesthetics, and matching degree of the ring with personal style.
