Yellow Gold
The classic. Warm, traditional, and timeless — the color most people picture when they think of a wedding ring.
White Gold
Clean and modern. We work with today’s premium nickel white gold alloys — and offer nickel-free palladium white gold for nickel allergies or by request.
Rose Gold
Romantic and distinctive, with a soft blush tone. Beautiful alone or combined with white or yellow in a two-tone design.
Can’t decide? You can combine colors — many couples mix metals across their wedding ring set or pair a white gold setting with a yellow gold band.
14K vs 18K — and Platinum
14K gold (58.5% pure) is harder, more scratch-resistant, and more affordable — a great everyday choice. 18K gold (75% pure) has a richer, deeper color and a more luxurious feel. Prefer the whitest, most durable metal of all? Upgrade to platinum. The materials are procured for you as part of your workshop package — pick your combination before your session, along with your ring width and thickness and texture and finish.
Why Platinum?
Hypoallergenic & Responsibly Sourced
Nickel allergies are the most common cause of jewelry-related skin irritation. The studio works with today’s premium nickel white gold alloys, and nickel-free palladium white gold — hypoallergenic and metallurgically ideal for hand fabrication — is available for sensitive skin or by request for its color. All gold comes from an SCS-Certified, 100% recycled supply, so the rings you make are as responsible as they are meaningful. Make your engagement ring or wedding rings with clean, eco-friendly materials.
