Sorry to resurrect such an old poll, but I found it interesting! I prefer "white" gold, I hardly ever wear yellow gold, although it really is pretty against my skin tone.

My honey proposed to me with his great grand-mother's handmade heirloom ring. It is yellow gold with a ruby center stone, offset by two diamonds and finally two more rubies to finish it off. It is absolutely beautiful.

I am so attached to my ring and the meaning behind it now that I couldn't see myself wearing anything else. We are going to have our wedding rings handmade to try and match the heirloom, with my then "husband" having a ruby center stone.

White gold for mine. We had it 'custom' done (they modified a standard ring for us).

I think his is stainless steel.

I still have the ring from my previous wedding as it was an heirloom piece from my family. It's white gold and absolutely beautiful. It's basically going to be my ring for when I'm dressed formally, while the cheaper ring we picked out will be my day-to-day ring.

I've got the "other white metal": palladium. It's related to platinum, but much, much lighter, and as a result is closer in cost to white gold on a "per ring" basis. Because it's white like platinum, it doesn't need to be dipped (the deal-breaker for white gold), and it scuffs/scratches like plat, too. I gave a palladium (PD, if you're all periodic table-y about it) engagement ring, and then we got PD wedding bands. The IO at our interview asked me if it was "fake" (when he asked what metal is was, and I told him it was palladium, he asked why - I explained the above and he said "so is it fake? or are you afraid people will think it's fake?") I didn't want to explain that in the early 20th century, it was pretty common, and actually became more expensive that Pt for a while.

Either way, we love them, and they work for us...

White Gold (because we couldn't afford platinum and the jeweller wouldn't let me design my own engagement ring in tungsten cause it's too hard to work with) for my rings and Titanium for my husband's ring because he works in Engineering and it gets battered alot. Tungsten / Titanium are very strong metals and less likely to scratch. My preference is for cool metals because warm doesn't suit my skin tone. I'm sure that your fiancee will be happy with whatever you bought.

Platinum,of course!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
