Today, for couples who are about to choose their bridal rings, we would like to introduce the materials available for YUKA HOJO rings.
Of course, we hope that this information will also be useful for those looking for an important gift for themselves as they reach a turning point in their lives.
YUKA HOJO rings come in three types or designs.
You can choose from four different materials.
<Materials available for all rings>
◇Pt950 (Platinum 950, Hard Platinum)
◇K18YG (18k yellow gold)
◇K18PG (18k gold, pink gold)
<Materials to choose from depending on the design>
◇K18WG (18k white gold)
Light inside you M width (Pt950), S width and engagement (K18YG)
Even rings with the same design can look different depending on the material they are made of.
We will introduce the characteristics of the four materials and their respective appeals.
------Pt950 (Platinum 950, Hard Platinum)-------
A material with 95% platinum purity is called Pt950.
Platinum is a shining platinum-colored metal that is generally resistant to tarnishing and deterioration, and is said to be mined in smaller quantities than gold.
In addition to its durability and rarity, its beautiful white shine makes it a particularly popular material for bridal rings in Japan.
Platinum itself is actually a soft metal, but by mixing 5% of it with other metals called alloys, it becomes a strong material called Pt950.
At YUKA HOJO, we use hard platinum, which maintains the beautiful shine of platinum while incorporating alloys to increase its hardness so that you can wear it with confidence every day.
Now, we would like to introduce you to a ring with a design that brings out the moist, smooth texture and clear, dignified shine that are unique to platinum.

----------K18 (18-karat gold)----------
A material with 75% gold purity is called K18.
Like platinum, gold is a soft metal on its own, but by mixing it with alloys such as silver or copper to make up 25% of the total, it is made strong enough to be worn safely on a daily basis.
K18, which has a high purity of gold, is said to be resistant to discoloration.
Another attractive feature of K18 is that it can be made into a variety of colors by mixing alloys.
Even if the color has the same name, the exact alloy composition varies depending on the brand.
Now, we would like to introduce you to our yellow gold, pink gold, and white gold rings, which are made in colors that perfectly match YUKA HOJO.
[K18YG Yellow Gold]
The warm yellow gold with a slight orange tint is unique to YUKA HOJO.
It features a warm color that makes you feel as if you are wrapped in sunshine.
Yellow gold has a bright and happy air about it, making it a very popular choice for many designs.

[K18PG pink gold]
YUKA HOJO's pink gold is a subtle pale pink color.
It gives a calm and gentle impression without being too cute.
It features soft colors that blend smoothly into the skin.

[K18WG white gold]
YUKA HOJO's white gold is characterized by its tasteful, slightly brownish color.
Generally, white gold often has a coating (plating) applied to the surface.
At YUKA HOJO, we do not apply any coatings, so you can enjoy the tasteful, natural look of 18K white gold itself.

I hope you find the perfect ring for you two.
