Can I find rose gold, yellow gold, and white gold options in Guthrie Jewellery's collection?

Yes. Every design we make is available in rose gold, yellow gold and white gold, as well as platinum. Because every ring is made to order, you are never locked into the metal shown in the photograph: pick any design you love, then pick the metal that suits your hand, your style and your budget. Here is how I help customers decide between them at the studio every week.
Rose gold: warm, romantic and quietly practical
Rose gold gets its blush-pink colour from the copper in the alloy, and that copper does more than look pretty. It makes the metal slightly harder wearing, and because the colour runs all the way through, rose gold never needs re-plating. What you see on day one is what you see in ten years. It flatters warm and neutral skin tones, photographs beautifully, and pairs especially well with oval and pear cuts, where the warm band makes a white centre stone look even crisper. Browse our rose gold engagement rings to see the range.

Yellow gold: the enduring classic
Yellow gold is the traditional engagement ring metal for a reason. Its rich colour signals exactly what the ring is, suits vintage and heirloom-inspired designs, and creates strong contrast with a white stone. Against a yellow band, our D-E colour moissanite and DEF lab-grown diamonds read noticeably bright and white. If your partner wears mostly gold jewellery already, this is usually the safe answer. See the yellow gold collection.
White gold: the modern neutral
White gold gives you a cool, silvery finish that lets the centre stone take all the attention, which is why it remains the most popular choice for engagement rings in Australia. White gold is finished with rhodium plating, which gives it that bright mirror-white surface; the plating gradually wears and most people refresh it every few years, an inexpensive service any jeweller can do. If you want the white look with zero plating maintenance, consider platinum, which is naturally white all the way through. Browse white gold engagement rings here.
What about purity? 9K, 14K and 18K explained
All three colours are available in 9K, 14K and 18K solid gold. Our base is 9K, and it is a genuinely good choice rather than a compromise: with less pure gold and more alloy, 9K is the hardest wearing of the three, which matters for a ring worn every day. 14K adds $350 and brings a richer colour with excellent durability, the sweet spot for many customers. 18K adds $700 for the deepest, most luxurious colour, with the trade-off that purer gold is a softer metal. Platinum sits near 14K in price and is dense, naturally white and very durable. There is no wrong answer here, only the right fit for how the ring will be worn.
