fine so we'' re normally discussing diamonds gemstones moistnites but what'' s holding them today we ' re mosting likely to go over every little thing you require to find out about rare-earth elements [Songs] so today we'' re diving right into metals 101 we'' re going to cover all the different steel choices that are readily available to you we are going to review all the different colors that you can select from carrot with a k that'' s one that we obtain at all times and also simply we'' re going to kind of dive into that what does that indicate just how does that play right into the different shade gold colors as well as last but not least we'' re mosting likely to cover the one that we get at all times white gold versus platinum and also we'' ll type of do a directly kind of pro con contrast so what are the most typical rare-earth elements that people think about so you obtained clearly gold it comes in yellow rose like a pink gold or white those are one of the most common colors you'' ve got platinum there ' s additionally palladium and after that there'' s silver um simply a'couple we ' re mosting likely to rip off at once silver you do not desire to utilize for an involvement ring uh top uh it'' s a steel that is white however it tarnishes so it as everything gets subjected to air it usually turns grey or black the bigger issue though is it is way also soft as well as pliable like flexible all right so uh it'' s like you we would certainly be able to essentially tear the prongs off of rock simply with our finger nails so it'' s not secure so you wear'' t wish to make use of that palladium is a metal we utilized to use as well as we stopped utilizing it it is a platinum family members steel all it implies is that it'' s a naturally white metal nonetheless over the program of wear allowed'' s state a couple of years five years or even more we found that the majority of our customers were not satisfied about the manner in which it wore it had it often tends to plain down extremely promptly and takes like like a very gray dark gray tone and so consequently we quit utilizing it as well as so those 2 we are simply not going to cover in this video clip alright so goal pureness it is constantly distributed at 24 components so if you have a buddy with a 24 karat gold chain it merely means 24 out of 24 is gold it is pure 18 karat simply means 18 out of 24 is gold the remainder is an additional steel or out of various other alloys you understand tank below 10 out of 24 is gold and the remainder are other metals so why do we blend gold with other metals primarily for hardness and also shade you could never ever make an interaction ring out of 24 carat weights because it would just be means too soft we can make 10 carat weight 14 karat 18 karat the other reason we mix gold is for color so if you'' re going to intend to make a white gold engagement ring we ' re usually going to make use of nickel to provide it that white color if you'' re going to intend to make a rose gold ring we ' re mosting likely to often make use of copper that'' s what provides it its glowing color so carrot with a k truly does impact shade however it would probably affect yellow gold one of the most you'' re visiting such a distinction in shade between 10 carat 14 karat and 18 carat weight as you go up with a higher concentration of gold the ring is really going to obtain even more yellow currently if you'' re someone that'' s not truly color sensitive you ' re probably not going to have the ability to see that difference yet if you are somebody that'' s shade sensitive when you contrast them 10k 14k 18k all lined up you'' re gon na in fact see for instance 14 carat weights even more of a buttery yellow it'' s quite smooth and afterwards as we increase the concentration of gold to 18 karat you'' re gon na see even more of a focused strike yellow yellow gold is the likewise the other one where carrot'' s gon na affect what i'' m going to hold like the the softness of the metal one of the most okay so as a result of the different alloys that are used to make it yellow the 18 karat is a fair bit softer compared to 14 as well as that'' s something that'we ' ll typically not talk with our clients regarding depending upon the design you understand due to the fact that it'' s something that ' s strange you can get 18 karat white gold variation yellow gold yet the yellow gold simply way a lot more adaptable bendable than the white as well as so that'' s something that'we ' ll typically wish to take into consideration depending on the design so even when it concerns climb gold you'' ll have the ability to see a distinction in shade in between 14 carat rose and 18 carat weight climbed we do discover that 14 carat rose has even more of a possibly maybe an orangey tone to it whereas 18 karat has more of a glowing climbed so you'' re mosting likely to want to recognize if you want even more of an orange hue or more of a pinky climbed hue out of all the steel shades white gold is possibly the one where carrot is going to have the least influence on the aesthetic look of the shade and the easy reason is initially of all all like think of it like paint you have half white paint half yellow paint you swirl it around it'' s a light yellow so practically talking in the raw mix you usually do see 18 18k will look a bit more of a have a slightly extra yellow-colored tinge contrasted to the 14 compared to the 10 however the factor i claim it has a least impact is what'' s basically like conventional method is that with white gold white gold rings are generally layered with rhodium which is a platinum steel think about plating it type of like paint it so due to the fact that of that 10 14 18 they all look exactly the very same new since all you are seeing is that white plating externally functionally of course 10 karat is more powerful than the 14 stronger than the 18.
something to keep in mind for some people most typical alloy that is used or among the primary steels that are blended with gold to make it white is mosting likely to be nickel now nickel for a few of us it'' s a tiny percentage yet tiny some people will certainly react to nickel it'' s what we call a level of sensitivity allergic reaction and also all it suggests is that let'' s state at 10 karat they'' re simply the percent of nickel is large enough that for some for several of you you might nearly feel like your finger gets itchy or maybe even create a rash that may mean that you may need to go higher in extreme situations you might need to consider a steel like platinum which is hypoallergenic also you'' re mosting likely to desire to take into consideration that the greater you go in the carrot of gold you'' re really going to pay a little a lot more so it could be a couple of hundred buck difference in between each carrot dive actually depending upon the style included as well so concern we obtain regularly white gold versus platinum so we'' re gon na study this as well as just look at whatever primary can you see the distinction straightforward solution is no we just explained white gold is layered in rhodium which is a platinum household metal essentially aesthetically look the same so platinum'' s typically marketed as the most effective metal it ' s not the very best'steel it ' s a metal there ' s benefits and drawbacks to white gold as well as to platinum and we ' ll undergo them currently yeah so allow ' s start with white gold so the professional with white gold is that it has a far superior capacity to hold a gloss that merely suggests it you know the steel section of your ring is going to remain vibrantly shiny for a longer time period the drawback that is related to white gold is the truth that you know the whiteness that you see is a layering you know the the raw color of the gold below is not truly white as we simply explained so what typically occurs is normally all-time low of your ring that you'' re mosting likely to have one of the most call as well as use with but relying on you it could be a pair years it might you understand be a few it truly depends on your level of wear however eventually you understand you may look on all-time low of your ring as well as you'' re going to observe that it looks a little bit extra yellow contrasted to the rest so practically it'' s not altering color it'' s just that the plating is beginning to put on off you understand for us like we normally cover that in a five-year guarantee that we provide so we simply replate it and yeah and allow me tell you this you recognize it'' s frequently checked out as a disadvantage that you need to keep it but great precious jewelry needs to be kept much like your auto simply like your teeth so um you understand having to replate and also re-polish every couple of years is actually mosting likely to make it look its best also so yeah why put on'' t i just talk concerning platinum so top thing so visually you can ' t see a difference yet one thing that should be kept in mind is a price so a lot of individuals will certainly see that platinum sets you back even more cash since'' s something that we constantly like to dive right into since i feel like if you just take a look at 2 points that are two alternatives that are comparable yet one alternative is a lot more expensive we usually assume it'' s the far better alternative which is not necessarily the instance with platinum so first of all platinum is a denser steel than gold what does that mean it is heavier okay literally we can take two rings are similar we evaluate the white gold it'' s like six grams you evaluate the platinum it weighs 11 grams now the factor that matters is precious steels are sold by weight and also therefore uh platinum is constantly gon na be much more costly since there'' s extra it ' s a heavier steel all right weight is just a feature it'' s not a professional or a con i do seem like i'' m pretty i ' m rather confident that if we surveyed most women i'' m quite positive most of them don'' t desire a heavy ring necessarily although some individuals do yet i really feel like that would be greater than minority uh now just moving along pros and also disadvantages professional with platinum the color you see is the shade of platinum it is not mosting likely to alter it is always mosting likely to type of appearance white the cons um it is softer externally all right it scrapes quite conveniently uh fairly surprisingly so so you can take a car secret you lightly glide it along the surface area it is mosting likely to form a scratch and also the other point i type of explained regarding platinum is it is a steel that does not like to be glossy alright as you it type of uses you know the the point that platinum normally always intends to get to resembles this dulled down claim i seem like you constantly hear it called an aging however essentially it has actually like a dulled down nearly like an aged antique very vintage appearance yeah some people like that some individuals like that and also we have a great deal of our customers especially i find for males'' s wedding band they love platinum on their bands due to the fact that it provides it an extremely troubled worn-in appearance and it'' s actually mosting likely to be put on to the wearer yeah however if you'' re looking for that shinier look and also you do have a platinum ring i mean you'' re going to yeah it'' s mosting likely to require upkeep no various than white gold you'' re mosting likely to need to get it re-polished but we do typically caution our customers with platinum you need to obtain made use of to that sort of worn appearance due to the fact that if you'' re expecting it to be bright and also glossy regularly you'' re going to be like you ' re not going to desire to be getting it brightened like every few months or something like that definitely so one thing a whole lot of people will ask is hi is is platinum stronger or white gold stronger and so a bit as well streamlined i'' m mosting likely to type of break it down to two elements alright so um toughness and i'' m mosting likely to call it rigidity alright so platinum is much more sturdy than white gold fine and i'' ll explain what i mean by that so allow'' s state you have two rings the same she puts on both of the one white gold one platinum wears it both every day and we return in two decades and compare them they'' ll both have actually gotten a little bit thinner alright with continuous wear that would have used away intend the platinum ring nevertheless will certainly have preserved more of its initial density compared to the white gold as well as in that feeling it is extra sturdy it'' s since it ' s a denser steel which ' s why nevertheless when it concerns strength it'' s a various tale white gold is extra inflexible than platinum so what that indicates is so platinum is a more malleable bendable metal we'' ve seen some rings with consistent wear where allow'' s state you have a ring that ' s platinum as well as it ' s type of deformed gradually it no longer also is rounded i imply maybe quickly treated whereas with white gold it it is more probable to hold its type much better it'' s better at holding its its uh on the whole shape uh in in both instances there'' s a there ' s no clear victor it ' s just different the last thing i intend to state regarding platinum is that it'' s a completely hypoallergenic metal so for for many of us gold is totally fine however, for a few of us with truly delicate skin or perhaps any allergic reaction problems you'' re going to wish to search for a metal that ' s totally hypoallergenic as well as platinum would certainly be the one for you so as we end this video off we also intend to just kind of placed contextualize what we'' re talking about with the design that you'' re thinking of all right if you are thinking of a design that'' s like a solitaire as an instance that has a whole lot of that ordinary metal visible your steel choice color white gold versus platinum things of that nature are mosting likely to have a much larger impact whereas if you are thinking of something like a ring that has diamonds all down on the side the color of the metal um white gold versus platinum these things are mosting likely to have a much smaller sized effect it'' s mosting likely to be a lot more of a refined decision for you men so it'' s something to consider there is a lot to go over concerning steels and i really hope that we had the ability to bring you into the fold and truly obtain you to recognize the differences between them the distinctions in color but actually as we constantly state you need to see these points personally whether it'' s in our workshop or in our virtual workshops we ' d love to take you with every one of your steel alternatives so we can identify what'' s right for you
