Some people still prefer 18k gold because it is near pure gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a ring that has a beautiful silver color, we recommend 18k white gold over platinum for the best value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, our <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/locke-solitaire-ring-r1267-e\/\"><u>Locke Solitaire Ring<\/u><\/a> will cost $830.00 in 14k white gold, $1,045.00 in 18k white gold, and $1,620.00 in platinum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each metal choice has pros and cons, and they all have different prices. It is also important to factor in the cost of diamonds in your jewelry when choosing different alloyed metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/about-lab-created-diamonds\/\"><u>lab grown diamond<\/u><\/a>, you\u2019ll save an additional 20-40% on the diamond, allowing you to allocate that money toward a more <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/unique-engagement-rings\/\"><u>elaborate setting<\/u><\/a> or a better quality diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every precious metal has its disadvantages.
