Every wedding ring will have a full UK hallmark which will either have a London or Birmingham hallmark.
As we have so many different parameters on our wedding rings, and with precious metal prices changing twice a day it is not possible to advertise prices online.

White Gold & Rhodium Plating
Gold is naturally yellow, and to make it into white gold then then gold must be alloyed with other white metals in order to enhance the colour and try to create white gold that you have become accustom to. To further enhance the ring, it is then coated with a platinum metal called rhodium.
Rhodium is an electroplated plating which does eventually wear off. At this stage you will see the natural colour of your white gold which can be anything from yellow to a very white colour. This colouring depends entirely on the quality of the white gold used in manufacture.
Different white alloys are used in white gold to produce the colouring, and it is this which creates the problem. The cheaper alloys are not as successful in colouring the white gold, and as a result the rhodium will wear off sooner and show the natural yellowing of the ring. This is generally the alloyed gold that you will find more common on the High Street and will certainly purchase if you are purchasing based upon price.
The best quality white gold is alloyed using palladium, a very white metal from the platinum family that gives a very nice white colour to white gold, we refer to it as palladium rich. With no yellowing when the rhodium has worn off, typically, rhodium plating will last much longer on white gold alloyed with palladium. Mostly because you will not see the contrasting yellow colour on the ring.
The downside of palladium rich white gold is the cost. Currently the price of palladium is 150% higher than platinum, traditionally the most expensive precious metal, and is the costliest alloy that can be added to the gold, with it being more expensive than the gold itself. The price of the palladium rich white gold does mean that our white gold id definitely a premium product, and unfortunately is likely to cost more than those on the High Street, that said, you will have the best white gold available.
We only use palladium rich white gold in our 18ct white gold wedding rings so if you purchase an 18ct white gold wedding ring from us, you are guaranteed to have the best white gold colour available.
Unfortunately, we do not use the palladium rich white gold in our 9ct white gold wedding rings as they would be far more sensitive to pricing. Although we do use a very good white alloy that doesn't have the yellow tinge, it still isn't as white as our 18ct white gold wedding rings. Adding palladium to our 9ct wedding rings doesn't.
Rhodium plating is considered a consumable, something which you will need to do through the life of the ring so unfortunately is not covered by the 2-year guarantee.
Our jewellers in Maidstone is however able to rhodium plate any white gold jewellery which can be viewed here Rhodium Plating White Gold
