White Gold Engagement Rings

The choice between 18k white gold and platinum for your engagement ring depends on several factors:

White gold with diamond offers an elegant style and luminous finish at a more accessible price. Its silvery tone beautifully enhances diamonds and white gemstones. 18k white gold is also lighter, making it comfortable for everyday wear.

Platinum, rarer and denser, provides exceptional durability and a naturally white color that requires no rhodium plating. It is ideal for sensitive skin and maintains its lustre over time. However, it represents a greater investment.

At Mayuri Paris, we offer both precious metals for our creations, allowing each woman to find the perfect piece suited to her preferences and budget.

Our white gold engagement rings can be set with various exceptional gemstones:

• Diamond: the classic and timeless choice, available in round, princess, square, cushion or emerald cut
• Sapphire: symbol of loyalty, in shades from deep blue to pink
• Emerald: for a sophisticated and refined touch of green color
• Ruby: representing passion, for a bold style

All our gemstones are selected according to the highest quality standards (AAA for colored stones, H/G VVS for diamonds). The setting is done by hand by our artisans to guarantee the security and optimal presentation of each stone.

The size of the stones is also customizable, expressed in carat (ct), allowing us to create a unique piece suited to your budget and aesthetic preferences.

The white gold solitaire is the most iconic and timeless style of engagement ring. It features a single gemstone, usually a solitaire diamond, set on an 18k white gold band.

Its popularity stems from:

• Its understated elegance that highlights the purity of the diamond
• Its versatility that suits all styles, from classic to modern
• Its ease of wear for everyday life
• Its timelessness that transcends eras

The solitaire perfectly embodies the Mayuri Paris philosophy: refined luxury through simplicity, where the excellence of the stone and the quality of the setting take precedence over ostentation. It is the preferred choice for women seeking an elegant and meaningful piece to seal their commitment.

Regular care of your white gold engagement ring with diamond will preserve its lustre and brilliance:

Daily cleaning:

• Use warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth
• Avoid harsh chemicals

Usage precautions:

• Remove your piece during manual activities
• Avoid contact with perfumes and creams
• Store it separately in its case to prevent scratches

Professional maintenance: 18k white gold is rhodium-plated to maintain its silvery tone. We recommend re-plating every 1 to 2 years depending on use. Our team can perform this service and check the setting of your gemstones to ensure their security.

Engagement ring ideas evolve while maintaining the timeless elegance of white gold. Here are the current trends:

Popular styles:

• Vintage: Art Deco and Victorian inspirations with engraved details
• Modern: clean lines and minimalist design
• Pavé: multiple small diamonds for a sparkling effect
• Halo: central diamond surrounded by smaller stones

Trending stones:

• Diamonds in princess or square cut for a contemporary look
• Sapphires and emeralds for a touch of color
• Cushion or oval diamonds for a romantic style

At Mayuri Paris, we invite you to discover these different styles while emphasizing customization to create personalized pieces that reflect each woman's individuality.

The main difference between 18k white gold (750) and 9k white gold lies in their purity:

18k white gold (750):

• Contains 75% pure gold
• More precious and more resistant to oxidation
• More intense and durable white tone
• Ideal for high-value gemstones
• Recommended for a superior quality commitment piece

9k white gold:

• Contains 37.5% pure gold
• More financially accessible
• Slightly harder but less noble
• Accessible option for more modest budgets

For a white gold engagement ring meant to be worn for a lifetime, we recommend 18k gold for its exceptional quality and durability. It is the preferred metal for setting our exceptional diamonds and gemstones.

Choosing the carat (ct) weight of your white diamond depends on several factors:

Budget: The carat weight directly influences the price. A 0.50 ct diamond offers excellent value, while 1 ct or more represents a significant investment.

Finger size: On slender fingers, a solitaire diamond of 0.30 to 0.70 ct already appears substantial. For wider fingers, one carat or more creates harmonious visual impact.

Lifestyle: For active daily wear, a 0.50 to 0.80 ct diamond is practical and elegant.

Quality vs quantity: At Mayuri Paris, we prioritize exceptional quality (H/G VVS) over size. A smaller diamond of superior quality will sparkle more than a larger stone of lesser quality.

Our team can guide you to find the perfect balance between size, carat weight and your budget to create the ideal white gold engagement ring for women.
