1 carat white gold diamond earrings
Carat is a unit of measurement for gemstones, including diamonds, and it represents the weight of the stone. If you own a pair of 1-carat diamond earrings, it means each diamond weighs approximately 0.50 carats. A 1-carat diamond is often considered a standard benchmark, as this size provides a noticeable and elegant appearance without being overly extravagant. The actual visual size, however, can vary based on the cut and shape of the diamond. There are four factors to keep in mind when picking the perfect diamond earrings. These are usually referred to the four Cs: Colour, clarity, cut, and carat. Carat weight, as mentioned earlier, refers to the weight of the diamond. The colour is graded on a scale from D colourless to Z light yellow or brown, the clarity refers to the presence of internal or external flaws, and the cut influences its sparkle and brilliance. 1-carat earrings can be set in various styles and settings, including stud earrings and halo earrings. The setting can be made of different metals like white gold, yellow gold, or platinum, so they are suitable for many occasions.

Diamond Earrings White Gold 1 Carat FAQs
White gold is a beautiful and classic choice for your earrings. It's made from a mixture of pure gold and an alloy of palladium, silver, or nickel which makes it stronger and more durable than yellow gold. White gold is also often coated with rhodium, a corrosive-resistant and highly reflective metal that protects the colour of your earrings over time.
First, there's the colour. White gold is gold that has been annealed to remove impurities and maintain its purity. The resulting metal is a pale yellow colour. Yellow gold has a higher percentage of copper as opposed to white gold. Secondly, there's the metal content: while both types of gold are created by the same process (i.e. by heating copper), yellow gold contains more nickel and zinc than white gold does.
The average cost of white gold earrings can range anywhere between £80-£30,000. It all depends on how much pure gold content is in the gold. There are white gold earrings to suit any budget.
