Gold: 24 carat gold, 18 carat gold, white gold, yellow and bronze gold varieties are available. All 18k gold consists of 75 percent pure gold. The remaining 25% is formed by the combination of different metals.

White gold: Additional processes are applied to change the gold color. It is plated with a white metal to hide the yellowish tones of gold. Since this coating wears out over time, it would be beneficial to renew the coating at least once a year.

Platinum: Platinum is similar in appearance to white gold. Since there is no coating applied under white, it does not lose its color over time. That's why you don't have to do anything all the time. 95% pure platinum and 5% other metals rings are heavier than a ring made of 18 carat gold. Since it preserves its shine more than 18 carat gold, it has been preferred a lot in the selection of wedding rings lately.

Some wedding ring designs include two or more gold colors to create a different style of wedding ring design. Combining different colors can create a striking design feature or pattern.

Alternative Metals: Titanium and zirconium are two other metals that have attracted attention in the wedding ring market in recent years. Titanium is a light but strong metal with a dark gray shade often described as gunmetal gray.

Zirconium is a metal with properties similar to titanium, but exposure to high temperatures produces a blackened surface. The black color of zirconium is caused by an oxidation reaction on the metal surface, so please note that deep scratches can reveal the dark gray metal below the surface.

Although more economical than gold and platinum, titanium and zirconium are not resizable and in most cases cannot be repaired when damaged, so please consider these options carefully.
