Watch more How to Buy a Diamond Ring videos: So I wanna talk little bit about different types of gold.  Pretty much in any setting option, there’s gonna be 14 or 18 karat.  18 karat is close to pure gold, it’s 70% pure gold.  14 karat is around 58% pure gold.  Golds are available in three different colors.  As seen here in this bracelet, there’s yellow which is most popular, most common is yellow gold.   There’s rose gold or pink gold which is alloyed with copper to give it a beautiful rosy color.  And white gold which is typical in lot of settings but mostly used in finished jewelry, white gold is allied with silver and nickel to give it a white look and over time, it does tend to get turn a little bit yellow, so it has to be polished and reemployed as it turns yellow with time.  So depending on your stone selection.  If you choose fancy yellow diamond, setting in yellow gold is beautiful.
