When it comes to \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/wedding-rings/womens-wedding-rings\">choosing a wedding band\u003C/a>, there are many factors you need to consider, from the perfect diamond to the right metal. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">At Friendly Diamonds, you have the option of choosing between yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold in either 14kt or 18kt. You can also go for platinum metal for your wedding band.

Pure gold in its rich glory is a sight to behold and we know that you’ve also wondered at some point in your life why 24kt pure gold cannot be used while making jewelry.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">This is because 24kt gold in its pure form is very soft and can get easily scratched. Jewelry made from 14kt and 18kt gold is far more durable and affordable. Go for 14kt gold when you’re looking for a more durable metal band and 18kt gold when you don’t want any compromise with the shine of your contemporary wedding band.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2>Yellow Gold Metal Band\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://uploadmediastorage.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/friendlydiamonds/blogstaticimg/usa/know-contemporary-wedding-bands/image_1.jpg\" alt=\"yellow gold band\" width=\"1152\" height=\"746\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" title=\"WEDDING BANDS\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/wedding-rings/womens-wedding-rings?Metal=14KtYellowGold\">SHOP \u003Cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\">yellow gold Wedding Bands\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>Yellow gold is one of the most popular metals used for contemporary wedding bands. The shine it exudes is unlike any other metal. Yellow gold is not only enticing in its luster, but its also a great investment. You can buy a wedding band in either 14kt or 18kt yellow gold for a glow that symbolizes your love for your partner.  Our stunning 14kt Yellow Gold Blakely \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/wedding-rings/anniversary-rings\">anniversary band\u003C/a> will be a testament to your enduring love.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2>White Gold Metal Band\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp>White gold is an alloy of gold with other precious metals that gives it the pristine white shine it is famously known for. Reportedly, when platinum had to be stopped being made into jewelry owing to its rarity and need in the war, white gold metal was created as its replacement. It is certainly a more affordable option than platinum.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://uploadmediastorage.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/friendlydiamonds/blogstaticimg/usa/know-contemporary-wedding-bands/image_2.jpg\" alt=\"white gold band\" width=\"1152\" height=\"760\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" title=\"WHITE GOLD WEDDING BANDS\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/wedding-rings/womens-wedding-rings?Metal=14KtWhiteGold\">SHOP \u003Cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"> White Gold Wedding Band\u003C/span>S\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>Some amount of metal other than gold must be added to it so that its colour can be changed from yellow to white.  If you’re looking for a wedding band that shines silvery white, but is actually gold, go for our white gold Luisa \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/toi-et-moi-engagement-rings\">two stone Toi et Moi ring\u003C/a>.
