Good question! Picking your ring metal is important, influencing looks, price, maintenance and care. Couples may choose to buy matching or contrasting rings.
Platinum: The rarest of all available precious metals but also the strongest, whitest, and most durable.
White Gold: An alloy of yellow gold, mixed with white metal to deliver a shine comparable to platinum.
Yellow Gold: The most traditional of all wedding band metals. A timeless metal owing to its precious nature and rarity.
Palladium: Extremely popular amongst budding grooms, a member of the platinum family but 1/3 of the price.
Rose Gold: One of the trendiest metals of modern days, formulated using gold mixed with copper alloys and silver to deliver that lovely pink-red hue.
Silver: The most common of all precious metals, easier to source and a lot cheaper to buy.
Eternity rings are a much more personal form of expressing love and compassion. With the original concept created in the 1960’s (only 50 years ago), the eternity ring was designed for wives for husbands to give on occasions such as significant anniversaries. Nowadays many brides expect their eternity ring within one year of marriage, however at Orla James we know it’s never too late.
Our 9 carat yellow gold provides a brassy contrast to white gold wedding sets that many people tend to adopt. This helps distinguish between rings, and makes it stand out, delivering its own shine and creating it’s own attention. This also helps the set diamonds glisten a white shine that separates itself from the yellow band, something that you cannot find in a white gold diamond eternity ring.
The third set also allows for a much more comfortable fit, as many people find with full and even half set diamond rings that the fit is quite heavy or large. Using less diamonds means your ring will not upstage any existing wedding jewellery, and will also create a much lighter weight, ensuring maximum comfort.
