Sterling Silver vs. 10k White Gold?

a 10kt ring is about 40% gold and is a lot more expensive then silver. Most silver rings have a plating on them to keep them from tarnishing which eventually wears off and can't easily be put back on, and if you need to have the ring sized, the plating also wears off. Silver also isn't as strong as gold in holding the stone. It would be better in the long run to go with the gold ring, it's easier to maintain and you can always bring it back to it's original state. However if you're on a budget you can save a lot of money by choosing a silver ring, and you can always get a nicer ring when you can afford to after that one wears out. Happy ring shopping.

Gold Vs Sterling Silver

I really like Sterling silver. I have rings I wear for years they usually seem satisfactory. It will not tarnish if you happen to wear it. I do not intellect the scratches. I consider platinum is unsightly. It is a stupid seem. Platinum is robust IMO however unpleasant. Gold is high-quality, but IMO white gold is a soreness. You ought to rhodium plate it. I like the best way white gold looks without the plating it's a gentle gold colour rather of pure white, when you do not use the rhodium plating. Just be a little bit more careful with sterling don't do heavy cleaning whilst carrying and do not absorb a pool.
