  3. Decide what metal type.

    The two major types of metals used for an engagement ring are platinum and gold.
    The price gap between a platinum and a gold moissanite engagement ring is mostly due to the metal's purity level.

    Platinum

    The platinum moissanite engagement ring is commonly $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold moissanite engagement ring since there is more pure platinum in it. Also, it is 66% heavier than 14k gold.

    Gold

    24 Karat gold is 100 % pure gold. It is, however, too soft to be used in most jewelry. As a result, gold is mixed with other alloys to make it more durable and secure for gemstone settings, such as 18 karat gold (75 % pure gold) and 14 karat gold, which is the most commonly used in fine jewelry (58.3 % pure gold).

  4. Pick the color of the metal band.

    The colors for an engagement ring in gold are white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. The most popular choice for an engagement ring is the white gold.
