So, Why A Gold Engagement Ring?

Nothing matches the beauty of a gold engagement ring, like this one from mondera.com.

In truth, a gold engagement ring has many advantages over other metals. One of the first is that it’s tarnish-proof. Many metals interact with other chemicals which cause them to tarnish. Silver and brass are examples of metals that this happens to. With a gold engagement ring, you won’t ever have to worry about that.

Also, gold is extremely easy to mold and bend in beautifully creative ways. Strands of gold can be entwined for a truly unique band that makes an exquisite setting for an engagement ring. It’s also easily engraved if you want to add a special inscription. You can even have a gold engagement ring tattooed like many of today’s movie stars and musicians are doing.

The possibilities for a gold engagement ring are as limitless as your or your jewelry designer’s imagination. To get an idea of what's available, check out our favorite online jeweler, mondera.com's huge range of gold engagement rings.

Then there’s the way diamonds and other jewels look when they’re set in gold. Gold tends to add a warmth and shimmer to them that is hard to beat with any other metal. That’s one of the chief reasons gold has remained so popular when it comes to engagement rings and wedding bands.

If you’re thinking of purchasing a gold engagement ring, there are a couple of things to watch out for.

Gold is too soft to be used alone, so it’s mixed with other metals (alloys) to make it stronger. The mixtures are rated as 18K gold, 14K gold, 12K gold, and 10K gold. There’s also gold-filled gold and gold-plated gold, neither of which is good for a ring that’s going to be worn daily for years, because the coatings tend to wear away over time.

So when considering gold engagement rings, you want to stay with 18K gold, which is the purest gold, or with 14K gold, which is the next purest gold. Either of these give you a gold engagement ring that will still be beautiful when you’re showing it to your grandchildren in your, excuse the pun, golden years.
