Gold Diamond Ring Tutorial
When you find this article, I guess you are in a quest to find the ultimately best gold diamond ring… I think I’m too excessive (I’ve just watched Indiana jones :p) Well, just read this article and you might find something useful before you buy gold diamond ring.
In this guide, I will divide gold diamond ring into two different things, gold ring itself and diamond itself.
Gold ring
Gold Contain. Gold is quite soft material and divided into several category based on gold contain in the ring. Pure gold is 24K gold, and it’s too soft for wedding ring or engagement ring that you will wear it in daily activities. To make gold ring harder, it mixed with other materials which create 9K, 14K, and 18K gold ring. Bigger number means bigger gold contain but softer. 9k gold ring actually not categorized as gold, because the percentage of other materials is bigger than gold itself.

Gold Color. The final color of gold ring determine by the material that alloyed with gold. The color of pure gold is yellow. 14K or 18K yellow gold is a mixture of gold with copper and silver. Gold alloyed with copper will create rose gold ring. While white gold is the alloy of gold with silver, nickel or palladium. Nickel can cause irritation for some people. If you have sensitive skin, it’s better if you buy white gold ring that does not contain nickel (e.g. gold alloyed with palladium). White gold oftenly plated with rhodium to enhance its white color.
Diamond
4 C’s of diamond. Before you choose the diamond for your ring, I suggest you to learn about the 4 C (Cut, Clarity, Color and Cut). This can save you from embarrassment. For example, if you buy the diamond because at a glance it looks good (you see it with naked eye), then you show it to your friends, and they tell you that the diamond is not well cut, much flaws, etc and for worst, it is fake!
Certified Diamond. If you want to buy good quality and expensive diamonds, buying a certified diamond is a must. You can be sure that the price is appropriate with the quality, and of course it’s a sign that you are buying a real diamond, not a fake one. But if you want cheaper price, diamond appraisal is enough.
Diamond ring settings. There are many diamond ring settings out there (prongs, bezel, channel, ballerina, flush etc). You can choose the one that you like, but you have to consider the construction of the diamond ring settings. There advantages and disadvantage of each diamond ring settings. Generally, lesser the part of the ring that hold the diamond, means more light will enter the diamond, but on the other hand, it will lower the strength to hold the diamond.
Conclusion
Learn these basic steps, and I hope you will get the gold diamond ring that suits your style, your passion and of course suits your budget. Happy hunting and have a nice day

Gold Diamond Ring
Do women have two wedding rings – one gold and one silver?
I have a wedding band and engagement ring that is platinum (silver looking) and want to wear gold jewelry sometimes. For two years, I have not worn any gold jewelry because I think it looks mismatched with my wedding band. I was thinking that I could go out and buy a cheap gold wedding band and wear that when I want to wear gold jewelry. Do people do that? Is that the right thing to do?
The old rule of “don’t mix gold and silver” is obsolete and out of date. It comes from a time when the rules stated that one must wear a hat and little white gloves every time one when out, even shopping! Lots of those fashion rules are out of date and no longer followed. Many top jewellery makers and designers mix gold and silver tone (either white gold or platinum) metals in the same piece so it doesn’t matter if you wear your silver-toned wedding rings with a pair of gold earrings or a gold bracelet. Plenty of fashion and style setters wear gold and silver together and it looks quite nice. It’s not mismatched! Don’t worry about it! No one will say anything or even notice. Often I tell clients to ignore the wedding and engagement rings when planning the accessories for an outfit since they are worn at all times. They are both very small and subtle and almost not noticed. I think it’s kind of tacky replace a piece of jewelry with so much meaning with a cheap coloured band with no meaning just so you can wear gold. Wear your platinum wedding ring and wear whatever gold jewelry that you wish, it’s not an issue.
