What metal should you choose for your Wedding ring?
The choice of metal for your wedding ring is a crucial element that sets the tone for its overall aesthetic and durability. At The Hamilton Gold Company, we offer a range of exquisite metal options, each with its unique attributes and charm.
Classic Elegance with Gold
A classic and timeless choice, gold wedding rings come in various hues, including traditional yellow gold, elegant white gold, and romantic rose gold. The difference between 9 and 18 carat gold lies in their gold content, with 9ct containing 37.5% pure gold and 18ct containing 75%; the higher the purity the bolder the colour and the more likely the ring is to retain it's gold value, however the durability does reduce slightly.
Timeless Luxury of Platinum
Renowned for its exceptional durability and luxurious appearance, platinum offers a lustrous, silvery-white hue that perfectly showcases the brilliance of diamonds and gemstones. Its hypoallergenic properties make it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin.
Affordable Charm of Silver
For a more budget-friendly yet equally charming option, silver is a popular choice. Its cool, white shine pairs well with various gemstones and styles. Keep in mind that silver may require more maintenance over time.
