While gold and platinum are the two most popular options for engagement rings, there are many metal options out there which suit a healthcare setting.
As a nurse or doctor, you’ll spend a considerable amount of time during the day washing your hands so a material that won’t tarnish over time is advantageous. A biocompatible metal is another important consideration when looking at engagement rings for nurses and doctors, especially if your role at work involves anything surgical-related.
Gold is the most popular option for engagement and wedding rings but choose a higher karat alloy like 14K or 18K golds for a purer, biocompatible option. Cu toate acestea, gold isn’t as durable as platinum or titanium. White gold will require frequent rhodium plating while yellow gold tends to dent and scratch. Rose gold holds up better due to the copper content that makes the alloy more durable.
