    What karat gold is best for engagement rings depends on your preferences. The most commonly used varieties are 14-karat gold, which is 58% pure gold, and 18-karat gold, which is 75% pure gold.

On the other hand, 14-karat white gold wedding bands tend to be durable, making them a good option for people most concerned with keeping their rings scratch-free.
