White Gold Mens Engagement Rings: The Definitive Guide
Guaranteed to stand out from your standard silver or gold ring, mens white gold engagement rings are able to achieve a look that is both modern, but also at the same time retaining classic timeless looks that you know aren’t going to date, but what do you need to consider when choosing which one is right for you?
Well the reality is there are a number of factors to consider. The first of which is what are you going to be doing whilst wearing it?
Yes we know that sounds like a silly question, but the reality is it’s important. Are you a guy who does a lot of practical work? If you are then an engagement ring with diamonds set into it isn’t going to a brilliant choice… well that is unless you want to pay for having your ring continually reset and fixed as intricate detailing quickly becomes scratched… or worse dislodged.
For example you might love the White Gold Fifth Carat Diamond ring below from Ernest Jones with it’s link chain design and diamond links, but is it going to really be the ideal solution when you’re spending your time digging, fixing and repairing all day long? Maybe not which leaves with you the decision is it more important to wear your ring all day long or to have a ring with the real bling factor about it!
The second is what are you going to be happy to wear day in day out till your wedding?
Admit it. We’ve all bought items of clothing that have that real WOW, look at me impact about them and thought this is super cool, but then quickly realised it’s not really appropriate or what we want to be seen in every day. Well it’s the same with your engagement ring. You want to choose something that wows, but at the same time isn’t going to be something that you’re going to want to hide away in a drawer within a week.
Our ideal pick? We’re loving the Ernest Jones 9ct White Gold Diamond Ring:
Coming with the inset diamond this ring definitely has the wow factor about it, but does so in a very understated way that ensures those you show it to will be suitably impressed without feeling so embarassed by it you want to wear gloves in the middle of the Summer.
And finally there’s the question of how much do you want to spend?. White gold is a stunning material, and whilst that it can be more affordable than Silver and Gold it’s still not cheap…. so if White Gold is the must have material for you and you’re on something of a budget then we’d recommend going down the simple as over-decorated route. Why? Because firstly simple design is always going to be cheaper, and the likelihood is if you find a ring that’s all blinged up and a snip at only £100 then there’s probably a (not very well made) reason for that which is likely to cost you a whole lot more in the long term!
If you are on a budget then we recommend checking out the H Samuel collection of mens white gold engagement rings. Available from as little as £169.00, these rings are able to offer the perfect balance of value and style – Shop the H Samuel mens engagement ring collection.
