Understanding Metal Durability in Jewelry
Some metals are more durably resistant to wear, scratches, and tarnishing. Pairing the right metal with your diamond ensures that your piece sustains its beauty and aesthetics for decades. This is especially true when investing in larger or more expensive stones like the Rare Carat 1.7 Carat Cushion Cut Lab Diamond Prices and Value | Rare Carat®. This stunning piece is adored for its timeless cushion cut and brilliance, but needs a sturdy setting to match its durability.
Platinum: The Best Of The Best Jewel Metal Adaptability
Platinum is one of the toughest and most pure metals used in jewelry. Known for its density and resistance to wear, it is perfect for everyday rings because diamonds and other gemstones can be safely set in them. The natural white color of platinum is sought after and it does not require a lot of upkeep or cleaning as it does not tarnish. It matches beautifully with high quality diamonds like Rare Carat 1.62 Carat Round Cut Diamond Prices and Value | Rare Carat® without losing any prestige or making the owner stressed.
White Gold: The Most Exquisite Stunning And Affordable Option
Being an alloy of stronger metals, white gold is coated with rhodium making it bright and strong. It is less durable than platinum but still offers a shiny finish that makes diamonds look more appealing. White gold acts as a perfect match for diamonds like the Rare Carat 1.7 Carat Cushion Cut Lab Diamond Prices and Value | Rare Carat®, contradictory to traditional notions where white gold was associated with cheap designs due to its affordability, it offers beauty and elegance on everyday wear.
Yellow Gold: Timeless Appeal with Classic Elegance
If you prefer a more traditional look, yellow gold makes for an excellent choice as it provides a warm, rich tone that never goes out of fashion. Although softer than white gold or platinum, yellow gold is still a strong option for well-protected settings. The contrast of yellow gold against a high color grade diamond, especially round or cushion cut diamonds available on Rare Carat, has a stunning visual effect.
Rose Gold: Romantic Yet Durable
Due to its romantic, vintage-inspired appearance, rose gold has surged in popularity over the past few years. The addition of copper into its alloy not only creates its distinctive blush color but also adds to its strength. This metal is an especially lovely choice for diamond cuts and styles with soft and elegant designs as it pairs beautifully with high clarity stones available at RareCarat.com.
Palladium: Resilient and Lightweight
Palladium is a member of the platinum metal group and shares many of platinum’s features such as being hypoallergenic, corrosion resistant, and not needing rhodium plating, but is lighter in weight. While it is a rarer choice, this modern minimalist metal offers excellent diamond protection.
Titanium: A New Metal For Modern Jewelry Designs
Titanium is a highly versatile metal that is extremely light but also very strong. This metal, unlike common beliefs, does not rust or corrode and is not tarnished. With time, it is being preferred as men’s wedding bands as well as modern engagement rings. The gunmetal gray color with its sleek silhouette complements diamonds perfectly.
Cobalt: Strong And Cheap
Cobalt chrome is known for its shiny white color, similar to platinum. The metal is scratch resistant and durable, but its price makes it very appealing to customers looking for jewelry. It is very hard to resize cobalt rings, but if one is looking for durable and long lasting shine, this is the ring for them.
Tungsten Carbide: Heavy and Extremely Durable
Most jewelry lovers will agree that tungsten carbide is one of the most scratch resistant metals there is. Because of this, it is very difficult to scratch. This extreme hardness also limits its bending capabilities. Due to these reasons, it is more suitable as casual fashion rings than wedding bands.
