In today’s eclectic design and styles when it comes to jewellery who ever first thought of dolphin engagement rings white gold must be truly a genius. Definitely not for the strict traditionalist or those who prefer the classic solitaire diamond rings, but for those who love the sea and the environment this is a must have.
Ever since the dolphin TV show “Flipper” thrilled audiences back in the 60’s, people have been enthralled and in love with dolphins. Then as further research of these majestic creatures come to fold and showed proof of their intelligence, friendliness, and loyalty dolphins have engrained and endeared themselves more to people to an almost mythical level. The dolphin has unwittingly become the ambassador and symbol of what is beautiful, valuable, and noble of Earth’s oceans.
A
metal alloy of gold and either nickel, palladium or platinum, white gold is no less as valuable as its yellow counterpart. In fact in some cases because it takes a master goldsmith to produce high quality white gold, these albino versions of the precious metal are more valuable than their blonde counterpart. For those made from gold – nickel alloy which is what is mostly used for rings white gold are harder, more durable than yellow gold. Also measured in karats, the highest quality of white gold is usually only 18 karats and made of gold – palladium – platinum alloy.
Taking the symbolisms embodied by the dolphin and the strength and the high value of white gold topped by a precious diamond solitaire is truly a keepsake. A worthy gift to give your wife to be as an expression of your undying love, or even as a heartfelt everyday gift that tells someone how special they are.
