White gold engagement rings

White gold engagement rings by Lyppens

The bright, refined appearance of white gold makes it a beautiful choice for a diamond engagement ring. Its light colour complements a white diamond particularly well, creating a timeless look that keeps the focus on the stone. At Lyppens, you can explore white gold engagement rings in a variety of styles, from elegant solitaire rings to designs set withmultiple diamonds. We can also create a bespoke ring in our own workshop.

Bringing the diamond and design together

One of the qualities of white gold is how naturally it complements a white diamond. The setting can blend subtly with the stone, creating a seamless look that allows the diamond’s shape and brilliance to stand out.

This is particularly effective in a solitaire engagement ring, where a single diamond takes centre stage. White gold is equally suited to designs with diamonds set into the band, a halo around the centre stone or a combination of different diamond cuts.

The cut of the diamond can completely change the character of the ring. A round brilliant, for example, creates a very different look from an oval, emerald-cut or pear-shaped diamond. Depending on the stone and setting you choose, a white gold engagement ring can be beautifully understated or distinctly eye-catching.

What makes white gold special?

White gold is an alloy of gold and other metals and, in jewellery, is generally finished with a layer of rhodium. This gives the metal its characteristic bright, white appearance.

The light colour works particularly well with white diamonds. Because there is little contrast between the diamond and its setting, the metal remains subtle and the stone naturally becomes the focal point of the ring.

Creating a personal white gold engagement ring

The choice of gold is only one part of creating an engagement ring. The diamond, setting, width of the band and proportions of the design all influence how the finished ring will look.

In the Lyppens workshop, we can adapt an existing design or create a bespoke white gold engagement ring from scratch. Details such as the diamond shape, carat weight, band width and setting can all be tailored to your preferences.

For bespoke designs, we can create a realistic 3D visualisation before the ring is made. This gives you the opportunity to see the proportions and details of the design before our goldsmiths begin crafting the final piece.

If you already own a diamond that you would like to incorporate into the ring, we will first examine it carefully. We can then advise you on the settings and designs that are most suitable for the stone.

Compare and try on white gold engagement rings

A ring can look very different on the hand than it does in a photograph. The width of the band, the size and shape of the diamond and the type of setting all contribute to its overall appearance.

At our store, you can try on and compare different white gold engagement rings to see which styles and proportions suit you best. We can also measure your ring size and advise you on possible alterations or a bespoke design.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why choose white gold for a diamond engagement ring? White gold complements the bright appearance of a white diamond particularly well. The subtle contrast between the setting and the stone allows the diamond to stand out, while the metal itself remains understated. This can be especially beautiful in a solitaire design.
White gold and platinum are different precious metals. White gold is a gold alloy and is generally finished with a layer of rhodium to give it a bright white appearance. Platinum is naturally greyish-white and differs from white gold in its weight, hardness and the way it wears over time.
The rhodium finish can gradually wear with everyday use, allowing the underlying colour of the white gold to become more visible. How quickly this happens varies depending on how the ring is worn. Whether and when you choose to have it rhodium plated again is largely a matter of personal preference.
In many cases, yes. We first examine the diamond or gemstone, looking at factors such as the type of stone, its shape, dimensions and condition. We can then advise you on a suitable setting and a design that showcases the stone beautifully.
Yes. Our goldsmiths can create a white gold engagement ring specifically for you in the Lyppens workshop. From the diamond and setting to the width of the band and finer details, the design can be tailored to your preferences. A 3D visualisation allows you to see the design before the ring is made.
