Elora Diamonds And Designs

What is the different between platinum and 18k white gold?

Platinum and white gold are both precious metals. Platinum is naturally white and will always maintain its color, while white gold is a mix of different alloys and will eventually show a slight yellow tint over time, although it can always be re-plated. Platinum is a denser metal which gives it a weightier feel and contributes to it being more expensive than gold.

Aesthetically, platinum will have a duller appearance, while white gold will appear brighter. However, The hardness of platinum is slightly softer than 18k white gold, which is not suitable for complex settings and is more prone to wear and deformation. If you tend to be more active with your rings, white gold would be a better selection for you.

Do the settings on your website come in other metals too?

Yes, our custom designs can be made with any metal combination you’d like.

What type of quality do you use for your pave diamonds?

Our pave diamonds are generally F-G color/VS clarity, but depending on the center stone, they may be adjusted.

Do you offer engraving on engagement rings?

Yes, we are happy to add engraving to the inside of the band to make your piece extra special.

Does Elora provide certificates for their diamonds?

Yes. Every main diamond is accompanied by a certificate from a third-party grading institute, like IGI and GIA.

How do I know that the main diamond and the certificate match?

Diamond verifications are provided by independent appraisers. You may take your ring and its certificate to one or any jewelry stores offering appraisal services, read your diamond’s laser inscription under a microscope to ensure it matches with the certificate.
