9ct white gold gives you the bright, white look of a classic engagement ring for less than 18ct white gold or platinum. Choose any setting below and we make it to order in 9ct white gold, set with the certified natural or lab grown diamond you pick.
Why Choose 9ct White Gold?
9ct white gold is 37.5% gold, hallmarked 375, with a rhodium-plated finish that makes it bright white and lets a colourless diamond look its whitest. The lower gold content brings the price down, so more of your budget can go into the diamond, and the hard alloy wears well every day.
Looking After 9ct White Gold
Under the rhodium, 9ct white gold is slightly warmer in colour than 18ct. As the plating wears, usually over a year or two, a hint of warmth can show. A quick re-plate brings it back to bright white. If you would rather never re-plate, choose platinum, which stays white all the way through. If you have a known metal allergy, ask us about the alloy before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It is solid gold, hallmarked 375, and the hard alloy wears well every day. It costs less than 18ct white gold or platinum, so more of your budget can go into the diamond.
Platinum stays white all the way through and never needs re-plating, but costs more. 9ct white gold gives the same look for less, with an occasional re-plate. If you have a known metal allergy, choose platinum.
