Yellow Gold: The most traditional of all wedding band metals. A timeless metal owing to its precious nature and rarity.
Palladium: Extremely popular amongst budding grooms, a member of the platinum family but 1/3 of the price.

9 Carat White Gold
White gold is an alloy of pure gold with various additional metals that provide strength, durability and change the colour to a lighter, more silvery appearance. All gold used in jewellery making is in fact an alloy. Pure gold is simply too soft and malleable to be used in making fine jewellery so other metals are always added to form alloys. The amount of pure gold is indicated by the carat rating. 9 carat white gold contains 37.5% pure gold. Nickel is typically used in white gold to change the appearance and introduce hardness and resilience. Then the finished item is plated with Rhodium to give the ring a wonderfully lustrous appearance.
