When starting out in your search for a engagement ring, a good first decision is whether metal - or metals - matter to you and be loved. At the beginning of the metal selection process, it is important to consider not only the aesthetics of the metal itself but also how it fits with the design of the ring, the center of the ring, and possibly adjacent stones, as well as the wearer's lifestyle.
Many choose the metal for their ring configuration based on existing jewelry preferences. Those interested in cooler tones and more elegant reflective surfaces prefer white gold or platinum, while those interested in warmer tones and softer looks prefer yellow or rose gold. 
Of course, mixing metals is always an option, be it adding the two metals to the shaft or using a touch of white metal around the stone itself to increase its apparent size and sparkle or sparkle effect.
Silver: Silver is a softer metal, which makes it more prone to scratches and other damage. It is also more prone to oxidation than other metals, sometimes causing the silver in the rings to blacken. It should be noted, however, that if it oxidizes, silver can be easily restored with a simple silver jewelry cleaner. For these reasons, however, silver is more suitable for men's and women's fashion rings and other rings that are worn occasionally rather than daily. This limitation means that silver is not a common or wise choice for engagement and wedding rings for men and women. Its affordable price and eye-catching shine even make it an attractive option for other cocktail rings and rings on the right. 
Sterling silver is often rhodium-plated to improve surface reflection and protect against stains that occur when silver reacts with sulfur in the air (sulfur is found in wool, elastic bands, certain colors, latex gloves, etc.). With rhodium plating and proper care, sterling silver jewelry can maintain a polished, shiny appearance for years before it tarnishes.
