Why Choose a White Gold Engagement Ring from Joshua James?
Our collection of white gold lab grown diamond rings offers a variety of styles, including solitaire, halo, and diamond-set bands, ensuring there is something to suit every taste. Each ring is hallmarked and guaranteed for quality and craftsmanship. Our lab grown diamonds are IGI certified and come with an official IGI certificate, providing assurance of their exceptional quality and authenticity.What is 18ct White Gold?
All 18ct gold alloys consist of 75% pure gold mixed with other metals to enhance durability and/or alter its properties and workability. Our white gold is an alloy containing palladium, silver, and copper (See our metals guide). While this alloy retains a slight yellowish hue, it is plated with rhodium - a precious metal that enhances its bright white appearance. The rhodium plating, typically 0.75 to 1 micron thick, adds an extra layer of durability, as rhodium is harder than both gold and silver. However, over time, this plating may require maintenance to retain its bright white finish.Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real Diamonds?
Absolutely! Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds, not imitations. They possess the same chemical structure and optical properties as natural/mined diamonds, with the only difference being their formation process. Lab grown diamonds are assessed and certified using the same rigorous standards as natural diamonds, ensuring their authenticity.What Should I Consider When Buying a White Gold Engagement Ring with a Lab Grown Diamond?
One factor to consider is that over time, the rhodium plating on white gold will naturally fade, revealing a slight yellow undertone. While some people appreciate this change as a reflection of their journey together, others may prefer to maintain the bright white appearance with periodic replating. Alternatively, platinum offers a naturally white colour that does not fade, developing a soft, unique patina over time instead.When selecting your lab grown diamond, always consider the 4Cs—cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. The advantage of lab grown diamonds is that higher-grade options are much more accessible, allowing you to select a larger, high-quality diamond at a fraction of the cost of a mined diamond. However, proportion is key. A halo setting can create the illusion of a larger stone, so if you choose a bigger diamond, consider whether the overall proportions of the ring will still suit your style. Additionally, some settings are designed to sit higher to accommodate a wedding band (wed-fit), so think about how high a larger stone will feel and whether a high-set stone aligns with your preferences.
Ultimately, choosing the perfect engagement ring is a personal journey, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. At Joshua James, we ensure that you find a white gold lab grown diamond ring that is built to last a lifetime and brings you joy for years to come.
