Engagement Rings: How Precious Metals Can Affect Diamond Colour



If you are planning to say yes to a very special proposal, your thoughts will be turning to the engagement ring, which is perfectly natural. You might be wondering if your choice of precious metal has any influence on the colour of diamonds.


Can Precious Metal Change The Colour Of A Diamond?


Technically speaking, any metal is unable to change the colour of a diamond. However, it can change one’s perception of a coloured diamond, due to light refraction and reflection. Light behaves in strange ways and yellow or rose gold can add a tint of yellow to a colourless diamond, therefore only white gold and platinum are recommended for colourless diamonds.


Custom Made Diamond Engagement Rings


Those who are looking for custom design engagement ring Sydney or couples in any other city in the world recommend are fortunate enough to only do a quick online search to find an award-winning jewellery maker near them. You can consult the expert regarding every aspect of the ring design, ensuring that the diamonds have a high sparkle factor.

The jeweller has access to the wholesale gemstone market and can therefore acquire loose uncut diamonds at trade prices, saving you around 15%. When an experienced jewellery maker looks at a loose uncut gemstone, he or she is able to visualise how the stone will look when cut and polished and with 3D computer graphics, you can actually see how a ring will look.


D To F Colourless Diamonds


White diamonds that are in the D to F class should be paired with either white gold or platinum, which does not impact the diamonds in any way. If you really want a yellow gold diamond engagement ring with clear diamonds, you can ask the custom jeweller to create a white gold or platinum setting, which keeps the stones colourless.


G To J Coloured Diamonds


These diamonds have a yellowish tint, which might be very faint and not noticeable to the untrained eye; you can choose either yellow or rose gold, which adds slightly to the yellowish colour. Whether to go for yellow or white gold is really a personal choice and as every diamond is unique, you have to see the finished piece to know how the metal impacts the diamond colour. A custom jeweller could give you a prediction on how a diamond would be affected by various metals, which might or might not be accurate.


K To Z Coloured Diamonds


Diamonds in these classes are decidedly yellowish in colour and yellow gold can accentuate this, adding a further yellow glow. The jeweller can show you some great examples of yellow gold diamond engagement rings to give you some idea of how the diamond colour is affected. The same could be said for rose gold, which would bring a warm glow to the diamonds. If, on the other hand, you would like to reduce the yellow tint, you could choose white gold or platinum as the base metal.


Bespoke Jewellery


If there was ever a prefect occasion for a bespoke diamond ring, an engagement would be it. For a similar price as buying a ring in the jewellery store, you can design the ring with the help of a custom jeweller. The first thing to do is work out a budget for the ring, then, using Google, find a custom jeweller and make an enquiry. Either you have a design in mind, or you are open to ideas, the jeweller is trained to assist clients in designing a diamond engagement ring that ticks all the boxes.
