Most of the diamond eternity band come in gold or platinum, and both of them can be polished and brushed. Brushed metals give a modern, muted look, while polished metals look classier. It is also possible to mix and match various colors of gold, or you can also try different metals altogether.
Various colors of gold are available for diamond eternity bands such as white gold, rose gold and yellow gold. For those with darker skin tones, yellow gold looks better. White platinum and gold rings harmonize with fairer skin tones. In its pure form, gold is very soft. Jewelers mix (alloy) gold with other metals such as nickel, zinc and copper to make it more durable and strong.
Coming back into fashion are platinum diamond eternity bands, as more individuals are going for this highly durable and dense precious metal. Generally platinum is higher in cost, but is more resistant to damage and abrasion. It also retains its luster longer when compared to gold. Platinum is not only a choice for newlyweds, many people also like to choose a platinum diamond anniversary band with its highly durable properties. It is very important to choose the right fit and design, so that it is appealing as well as practical.
