Different Types of Two-Tone Engagement Rings 

The most common combination of two-tone engagement rings is platinum and yellow gold. But, as you can see, numerous other varieties can be equally, if not more, effective. 

Rings can be made of different types of gold. For example, rose and white gold successfully mix for a delicate, sophisticated effect. Plus, this combination looks great with pink, brown, and white diamonds. You’ll often see the silver-and-gold variety in vintage and antique rings. These days, this mix isn’t so common.
