The Astella Guide to Choosing Your Perfect Metal
At Astella, we believe every piece of jewellery tells a story, your story. Choosing the right metal and understanding diamond carats are the first steps in creating a meaningful symbol of love, strength, and timeless beauty. Whether you’re searching for the perfect engagement ring, elegant wedding bands, or exquisite fine jewellery, our guide is here to help you make confident, informed choices.
Yellow Gold: Warmth and Tradition
The classic choice, yellow gold’s rich, golden glow has symbolised love and commitment for centuries. Its warm tones suit all skin tones beautifully, making it perfect for engagement rings, bridal jewellery, and anniversary gifts. Available in 14k or 18k, yellow gold balances durability with a timeless romantic appeal.
White Gold: Sleek and Modern
If you love a polished, contemporary look, white gold shines bright with its cool, silvery finish. Often plated with rhodium to enhance sparkle and strength, it pairs beautifully with diamond rings, especially highlighting the brilliance of your chosen diamond shape. White gold is versatile and enduring, ideal for anyone seeking classic yet modern jewellery.
Platinum: Pure Strength and Luxury
The ultimate in luxury, platinum is prized for its natural white sheen, exceptional durability, and hypoallergenic properties. It’s heavier and more resilient than gold, making it the ideal choice for matching wedding rings and diamond engagement rings that last a lifetime. At Astella, our platinum pieces reflect the highest standards of craftsmanship and ethical sourcing.
