Now pure gold is too weak to give a style and design to it. So you have to mix up some impurities with it in order to make it harder enough to give it a perfect shape. For jewelry purposes it is always alloyed with at least one additional metal to ensure strength and durability. 24 karats gold is the purest form of gold but most of the rings made from gold are either 14 karats gold or 18 karats gold. When you will see a ring is marked as 14 karats gold then you understand that it is approximately 58.3 percent gold, whereas an 18 karat ring is 75 percent pure gold. An 18 karats gold ring is more susceptible as there is more gold in it and therefore it is weaker and not durable comparing to 14 karats gold. More gold you choose for your ring is the weaker ring you choose.

  In the option of gold there are also many variations as white gold and yellow gold. If you want a ring that will have a white touch or better to say a silver lining then white gold is the answer. It will add a silver tone to the ring. White gold is simply yellow gold that has been treated to look white (or silver).
