White Gold Rings For Men

It is a well known fact that, interest in men's white gold rings has been on the rise in the past 4 to 5 years. This report focuses on the topic of 10k, 14k and 18k white gold rings for men. Jewelers tend to push 18k men's rings while the technical guys will tell you that, 14k white gold men's rings are generally the preferred choice. You would also come across 10k rings for men. We have added a few handpicked rings to the report, as mere examples. The report itself is void of sales talk, as we prefer to leave that for the regular Kaisilver websites. Just remember that you can always contact our support team at sales@kaisilver.com if you have any questions related to gems and jewelry. We will be glad to help even if you do not plan to make a purchase from us. 

What Is 10k, 14k, 18k Gold: We will clarify the concept of the 'k' number in gold jewelry before, getting specifically into white gold. Men's white gold rings are marked as 14k, 18k or 10k - while the importance of these numbers is often downplayed, it is essential to understand just what they mean. At the basic level - the 'k' number of the gold specification does not relate to a particular gold color - it remains the same for white, yellow or pink gold, pink gold is sometimes referred to as rose gold. Pure gold is soft and is not considered to be durable enough to craft long lasting jewelry. The metal is mixed with other metals to increase its hardness,  the resulting allow is more suitable for jewelry crafting. 

What this all means is that, the gold alloy used to make men's white gold ring consists of pure gold + 'other' metals. Of all the metals mixed in the alloy, gold would quite obviously be the most expensive. This is what makes it important to know the gold content in each of the gold 'k' alloys. A 10k white gold men's ring, would contain 42% gold and 58% of other metals. In the case of 14k rings for men, the gold content would be 58% and the other metals, would make up the balance 42%. We then come to 18k men's gold ring where you would have a 75% gold content and just 25% of other metals. Just keep in mind that these 'k' numbers and gold content numbers, would be the same for white,  yellow or pink gold. Now let us assess the degree of hardness and price, of 10k, 14k and 18k gold men's rings. 10k gold is harder than 14k gold which in turn is harder than 18k gold. So the gold alloy hardness drops as you move from  10k to 18k. And given the gold content in each of the gold options, the price of the metal drops as you move from 18k to 10k gold. The Kaisilver team has summarized data for close to a data, the findings clearly show that 14k men's rings including 14k white gold rings for men, are the most popular. Placed between 10k and 18k, the 14k gold alloy strikes the right balance between hardness and gold content. Having said that, Kaisilver men's gold rings can be ordered in 10k,  14k or 18k gold - you can specify yellow,  white or pink gold.

What Is White, Yellow And Pink Gold: Gold as it is mined and cleaned is yellow in color, this is obviously what gave us the term 'golden yellow'. If you wish to understand the concept of 18k, 10k or 14k men's white gold rings, refer to the above paragraph - we have already mentioned that the gold 'k' standards, apply to all 3 gold colors. We did mention that other metals, are alloyed with pure gold to get a gold alloy that is hard enough to craft durable jewels. These 'other' metals can be picked in such a way that, they influence the gold of the gold alloy. A men's white gold ring, would have a gold alloy that includes more of white metals like silver or palladium. So the net result is that, the dominantly yellow color of gold pales out. The degree of paling would be higher for 10k white gold where, the other metals are present in a higher percentage (58%). The same paling would be less if we talk about 18k white gold as, the gold content (75%) would dominate the final color of the alloy. Once the men's white gold ring is crafted 10k, 14k or 18k, the surface of the metal is treated (generally) with white rhodium, this gives the jewel a bright white color. 

 White Gold And Gems: White gold men's ring with gemstones, can be tremendous. The neutral color contrast of the white metal against various colored gems, delivers a fascinating impact. Men's gemstone rings with lighter gem colors like pale citrine and yellow sapphire, aquamarine and even morganite - do a  tremendous job of showcasing those colors. There are certain gem colors like red garnet, peridot, lighter shades of blue sapphire, tanzanite, ruby, moderately saturated green tourmaline etc that pair well in both yellow and white gold rings for men. Now let us talk about more saturated colors of green toumaline, iolite,  blue sapphire etc - these darker gems can appear a shade darker, when set in men's white gold rings. This is basically because  of the stark contrast between the bright color of white gold and the deeper colored gemstones. Irrespective of all the observations that we have made in this paragraph, your choice should be based on what makes you feel comfortable and confident. 

White Gold And Diamonds: When we talk about diamonds, the general reference is to white diamonds. These glittering precious stones, look awesome in any metal color. Men's diamond rings in white gold, extend the brightness of the ring beyond the diamonds. To put it simply, diamond rings for men in white gold appear much more lavish and valuable - than in other gold colors. We should not ignore the fact that, a fairly large group of men, do not like their jewelry to be flashy and showy - this is why the demand for yellow gold diamond rings for men, happens to be equally high. Let us also clarify that, there is no reason why men's white gold rings with diamonds, should be reserved for special occasion wear. You could wear your ring everyday to work - it really is all up to you. 

White Gold Rings Durability: Just how sturdy a men's gold ring would be, does surely not depend on the gold color. We did mention in the above paragraph that, the hardness of the metal depends on its 10k, 14k or 18k rating. Just how durable a men's white gold ring would be, depends on a number of factors. Kaisilver ring designs are researched to ensure that, they combine good appearance with durability. The design for men's gold rings, should be scaled based on the gold weight that is available. And if the budget for the ring is broad enough, the gold weight should be optimized for the dimensions of the ring. A white gold men's ring crafted with insufficient gold weight, would bend or deform easily. Remember that there are design dimensions for a ring and also the issue of ring  (finger) size. Rings for men are generally high on both numbers something that, calls for a fairly significant gold weight. If your men's white gold ring is being crafted on a restricted budgeted, pick a design that requires a gold weight that can be handled within your budget. The hardness of the gemstone in a men's ring would also define the durability of the ring. In general, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, topaz, tourmaline, aquamarine, iolite, amethyst, green jade, black onyx - should have no durability issues. Men's white gold rings with tanzanite, emerald, kyanite and to a certain extent blue lapis, will need a certain degree of care. The good news is that the right design, sufficient gold weight and good workmanship, can substantially add to the durability of a men's ring - irrespective of the gemstone set in the ring.
