General Information on Mixing Precious Metals Together
As each of our engagement rings is a unique design, individually created for each customer and we promise to never repeat our designs, we find that combining different metals together can be a great way to create a unique looking engagement ring.
Probably the most common way to mix metals together is to use one (or all!) of the three colours of gold in the same design. We have done commissions with all the combinations possible and they all seem to work well, adding areas of contrasting colours to the shank in a lovely way.
It is not always possible or practical to combine all precious metals together. For example palladium and platinum look pretty much the same so there's little point and there's also a practical problem which is that different precious metals have different melting points making them impossible to combine - for example Sterling silver with platinum or palladium doesn't work but would work with 9ct gold.
If you are thinking of combing precious metals together in your engagement ring then the best route would be to book a consultation with one of our designers to discuss your ideas, please contact us if you have any questions or would like to arrange a design consultation.
