The white gold engagement rings Australia is talking about
Where to find the finest white gold engagement rings in Australia
An amazing engagement ring goes to a new level when it’s a white gold engagement ring.
The very best rings go beyond being a simple band of gold.
An engagement ring is a statement to the outside world that this is the person you love and hope to be with till the end of time.
One way of making that pledge of the heart more inspiring is to choose an added element of sophistication.
Franco Jewellers has a range of exquisite engagement rings Melbourne couples adore and all of Australia would love. The stunning selection caters for almost any taste and all backed by true customer service excellence.
The white gold difference
The part that gold plays in the beauty of a ring is clear. It has become a universal essential when it comes to an engagement or wedding ring.
There are many considerations to ponder when you are choosing an engagement ring.
- What is your budget? (This is something you should always keep in mind)
- What stone will you love most?
- What design will suit you and your taste best?
- Which colour of gold will work with your choice of ring?
- Is there an expert you can turn to for advice?
The key to making an engagement ring one that you will love for all the years to come is to choose wisely and have that experienced expert by your side whenever you need them.
It’s easy to be overwhelmed or get stuck on an idea that won’t bring you the results you want.
An engagement ring with the magic of white gold
There is a reason why so many couples choose the special touch that comes with it
You get the added advantages of;
- A wonderful look (which is close to platinum but without the huge price tag)
- A stronger and longer-lasting gold than yellow
- Less likely to be dented, damaged or scratched than other golds
- Looks delightful on a wide range of skin tones
While it does need to be properly maintained, it is an inexpensive exercise and one that is often offered without charge.
Talking through your options with your jeweller is essential to seeing an immaculate engagement ring on your finger. You don’t have to be shopping around forever all on your own.
Where white gold wins out
There’s an added bonus to choosing a white gold engagement ring.
The lightness and brightness can do wonders for the look of your diamond. Rather than distracting from the stone, it showcases the entire setting.
There’s also the issue that some styles and trends in gold can be outdated. The beauty of it is that it has always been a strong way to add a timeless look to your ring.
If that isn’t enough, you also have an engagement ring that both men and women adore the fact that it goes with everything you wear.
It’s not a plain and dull element to your jewellery, it’s a way to enhance the overall piece.
There’s no reason to be asking ‘Is it good for an engagement ring?’ when the answer is ‘it’s great!’.
The question is, where can you find the very best in white gold engagement rings?

What are cocktail rings and how to find the best in Melbourne
The cocktail rings that get all the attention
There’s something special about stunning cocktail rings.
They dazzle and delight. They grab the heartstrings. They get all the attention for all the right reasons.
These are the rings that show you have a special sense of taste and sophistication.
There are some who are left astounded. Some are left entranced. Some people don’t even know what type of ring it is, but they soon know that they want one.
What is a cocktail ring? How are they different from other rings? Where do you find one?
The story behind the ring
The story goes back a hundred years or so.
It was during the Prohibition years that drinking alcohol took off. Possibly a classic case of making something more desirable because it is not allowed, it is thought that alcohol consumption actually rocketed to an all-time high during these years.
Illegal drinking brought one social change which was the holding of cocktail parties. This was where women, in particular, were seen in secret gatherings showing their newly acquired sense of self. Cocktail drinks were invented to cover the strong taste and poor quality of the liquor.
The clothes worn at these parties were bold and ostentatious and so was the fashion of the jewellery. This led to the trend of displaying an outward show of worth with large precious stones set amongst diamonds.
This was the birth of the cocktail ring and it is one that has never died out.
Rather than just a lavish, gauche or even gaudy ring, these days a cocktail ring is a sign of sophistication and good taste.
The style of cocktail rings
Gone is the illegal drinking of Prohibition times but the cocktail ring lives on.
These days, there are almost endless possibilities for what you can create as a cocktail ring.
Even though there is no longer an abundant supply of the larger gemstones, there are a number of alternatives in;
- citrine,
- quartz,
- peridot,
- moonstone,
- blue topaz and more.
Any ring that is designed to ‘make a statement’ is usually referred to as a cocktail ring. It all comes down to the mix of stones and what the combination is saying about you.
The special occasion ring
Given that a cocktail ring is striking and eye-catching, they are not usually an everyday piece to wear. The idea is to keep them ready for a special occasion, where the event itself brings the opportunity to be a little outlandish and lavish with what can be worn.
It will always relate to your sense of style – and technically there is nothing stopping someone from wearing a one every day, but due to the size of the gemstone and the elaborate style, it is better saved for a special event.
Where do you wear a ring like this? That’s entirely up to you but it’s a good idea to keep in mind that it will get a lot of attention so a more subdued affair is probably not an appropriate outing for it.
How to wear your new favourite ring
As a rule, a cocktail ring is worn on the middle or fourth finger of the right hand.
There are a couple of reasons for this, which are;
- The ring is better seen and the statement you make is clearer
- You are not interfering with any engagement or wedding ring
- Wearing it on your middle finger is a show of power, status and stability.
- It is a small but striking show of style and flamboyance
How you wear it and what you wear it with is another choice left for you and you alone.
The added bonus is that in today’s world of jewellery you can have a ring made especially for you.
From the differences in design, the varieties of gemstones and the important element of sticking to a particular budget, there’s many advantages of choosing your very own custom-made cocktail ring.

Your guide to selecting the perfect diamond
The perfect ring starts with a guide to selecting the perfect diamond
Whether it’s a diamond engagement ring or a diamond wedding ring in Melbourne that you’re after, one jeweller is here with expert advice and a guide to selecting the perfect diamond.
There’s more to finding the right diamond than just the size and the price.
It would be easy to think you have picked the perfect diamond but you need to ask yourself some key questions before you even start the journey to buying a diamond.
You don’t want to have the awful realisation that you have chosen a diamond but it doesn’t suit your needs or the ring that you have your heart set on.
This scenario happens more than you might think and it can be an extremely costly mistake and one you do not want to make.
Some key questions to ask yourself about your diamond
No guide to selecting the perfect diamond would forget to outline the 4 Cs of diamonds.
These are, of course, the classic;
- Cut
- Colour
- Carat
- Clarity
That all seems fairly straight forward and the higher grading on all 4 of these, the higher the value of the diamond.
There is much more you need to know and to consider before you set yourself on purchasing a diamond.
- Which shape do you want for your diamond?
- What is the minimum carat weight you would be happy with?
- What is your budget? (You need to stick to this so be realistic.)
- Which of the 4 Cs are you willing to compromise on?
- What is the setting for the stone?
Believe it or not, one of the most important questions is what setting is the diamond going to call home.
Let’s go through the process one by one to make things as clear as a diamond can be.
Budget is best
The whole point of having a budget is to make sure that you don’t dive into debt too deeply.
The other important thing about having a clear budget is that your trusted jeweller will be able to help you stay as close to it as possible and offer a variety of ideas that work within your amount.
A majority of couples come away from buying a diamond or a fully set diamond ring and are worried that they did not get a good deal.
If you are open and honest with what you want and you feel the same about your jeweller, you will have a smoother and less nerve-wracking journey.
It’s not all about the 4Cs
Knowing and going only by the issues of cut, colour, carat and clarity can actually be wrong.
If you have two diamonds of the same carat and colour, you may be swayed by clarity.
On paper, one of the diamonds may be worth more and cost more, but is it really that simple?
If the imperfections on the second diamond are on its edge, then it would be fairly easy to cover those defects with a prong in the setting.
Now imagine that you have that diamond ring that looks wonderful and is $2,000 or more or less in the price?
The human eye doesn’t lie
Many defects in colour or clarity come down to a rating from a gemmologist but an everyday person would never notice.
Some differences in diamonds are not at all visible to the human eye. You will not be viewing your diamond under a microscope so what are your really paying for?
Any money you save on these minute discrepancies can be better spent on other factors or one completely different things.
Of course there are clear and easily measured differences between a top-rated diamond and one way down the scale. When the differences are miniscule, then you could be wiser to choose to a so-called ‘inferior’ diamond but with a superior result.
Weighing up your diamond options
As with sticking to your budget, it can be important to look at a set carat weight that you will be happy with.
You may be able to sacrifice a small amount of clarity or colour to achieve a higher carat.
It is often a mistake to go below a carat that you will be satisfied with. This disappointment can follow you and you don’t want your diamond to be a reminder of your mistake.
You should never wear regret in any of your rings or jewellery.
To weigh up all your options when it comes to finding the right diamond, talk to a trusted expert who can give you the benefit of their expertise and experience.
