Choose Your Precious Metal.

While others cheapen the inherent value of lab-grown diamonds using lesser metals, DREAMLAB^TM crafts its rings with the same platinum and 14—18K gold used by luxury jewelry houses. And the same respect afforded natural, mined diamonds.

 

YELLOW GOLD

YELLOW GOLD’s warm, lustrous sheen has captivated humans for millennia. And its natural scarcity and never-changing color make it both highly valued and a classic choice for jewelry settings. 18K (which is 75% pure gold) and 14K promise durability while staying truer to the metal’s natural warmth.

ROSE GOLD

Popular in the late nineteenth century, ROSE GOLD is appreciated today for its naturally romantic appeal and is especially suited to vintage-inspired styles. Copper is what gives it its pinkish hue. And because it’s nickel-free, it’s a great choice for those who are sensitive to the metal.  Plus, it won’t tarnish.  

 

WHITE GOLD

An alternative to platinum for those who want the look for less, WHITE GOLD currently reigns as the most popular choice for engagement rings. Its yellow gold base has nickel and other metals added to make it whiter—then it's plated in rhodium for a bright white shine. It’s important to have it replated as needed, since the rhodium slowly wears off, revealing a yellowish hue and the nickel underneath (which can cause a reaction).

 

PLATINUM

PLATINUM is denser than white gold, so it's heavier, rarer, and traditionally more expensive. PLATINUM contains no nickel and is not plated—which makes it more susceptible to scratches than white gold. And over time, it can take on a duller silver finish.

 

 

Metal Care: While platinum and 14-18K gold are more durable than 10K and perfectly suited to everyday wear, they are still relatively soft metals. When doing any activity that's hard on your hands, it’s a good idea to have one designated spot in your home where you put your ring.
