You've already made a more affordable choice by choosing platinum's less expensive relative but there are a few things you need to know when shopping for a white gold diamond engagement ring.

White gold is an alloy of gold which means it's a mixture of gold and other white metals to give it its platinum like appearance. It used to be that nickel was one of the metals added to the gold but that has changed since many people have reactions to nickel. Make sure to ask whoever you buy from, if your white gold engagement ring contains nickel, and if it does, move on to another ring or retailer.

Like regular gold, white gold can be any number of karats but the standards of 18kt, 14kt, and 9kt are still the most common.

Finally, you need to know that a lot (if not all) expensive and cheap white gold engagement rings are plated in rhodium to give it a more 'white' appearance and to make it look just like platinum. Even though the rhodium is a hard white metal, it will wear away eventually. You can easily have your ring re-plated with rhodium when this happens as many people do. We just thought you should know about it.

At the end of the day, who you buy from doesn't matter, what does matter is what you're buying and that online you'll find the largest selection of rings at the absolute best prices. So if you're looking for cheap white gold engagement rings, or any type of engagement ring for that matter, you really should start online.
