- Is 18K white gold good for a diamond bracelet?
- Yes. 18K gold is 75% pure gold, which is harder and more scratch-resistant than 24K, so it holds diamond settings well. White gold is plated with rhodium for its bright color and needs re-plating every few years with regular wear.
- What should I check before buying a diamond bracelet?
- Look at total diamond carat weight, cut, color and clarity, plus the gold weight in grams. These four figures drive value more than the brand name. Ask for the bracelet's length and the clasp type so it fits and stays on.
- Can I wear it every day?
- 18K white gold is durable enough for daily wear, but diamonds and settings can catch on clothing and knock against hard surfaces. Take it off for gym sessions, cleaning and swimming to protect the setting and the rhodium finish.
- How does it compare with a platinum diamond bracelet?
- Platinum is denser and naturally white, so it never needs re-plating, but it is heavier and usually more expensive. White gold is lighter and brighter in tone but needs rhodium upkeep. Both hold diamonds securely.
- How do I care for a white gold diamond bracelet?
- Clean it with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then dry it with a lint-free cloth. Store it separately to avoid scratches. Have a jeweler check the settings and prongs once a year.
