About the material

At MONAKA, we offer four different colors of base metal: K18YG, K18PG, K18WG, and PT900.

When choosing a wedding ring, the next most important point to consider is the base metal material. Each has completely different characteristics, appearance, and atmosphere, so please refer to the points below to find the color that is perfect for you.

- K18YG -

Yellow gold is a material with a warm color that gives off a classic and elegant impression.
It is said to be the color that suits Japanese skin best, and many people wear it layered with fashion rings.

This color is particularly suitable for those with warm skin tones (yellowish skin, olive skin, skin that tans easily), and the color of the skin and the metal blend in naturally, making it the perfect color for people with warm skin tones.

In addition, while it has a gorgeous and luxurious feel, it also exudes a classic and calm atmosphere. It is especially recommended for those who prefer simple yet elegant fashion, or those who prefer something more gorgeous than silver.

- K18PG -

Pink gold is characterized by a warm color that is not too sweet, and is a color that suits many people depending on their skin tone, hair color, and personal preferences.

It gives a softer impression than other colors, so it is suitable for those who want to give a gentle and feminine impression. It also goes well with simple and sophisticated designs.

It also has a slightly classic and elegant feel among gold colors, making it a great choice for those who like simple yet elegant styles.

Even if you are unsure whether pink gold will match your skin or hair color, it is easier to match than other metals and can subtly enhance the beauty of your skin.

- K18WG -

White gold gives off a somewhat modern and stylish impression, making it a popular color, especially among those who like urban fashion and sophisticated coordination.

Normally, white gold is plated to brighten the color, but MONAKA uses the deep color of the base metal to create the finish. Therefore, there is no need to worry about allergies caused by plating or discoloration.

White gold has a dark, subdued hue and gives off a slightly more subdued impression than other types of gold. Its simplicity and cool tones make it easy to match with other jewelry and fashion, and it blends in with any style, making it popular among people who are not used to wearing jewelry, especially men.

- PT900 -

Platinum rings are characterized by their silver-white shine, giving them a sense of luxury and a sophisticated impression in any situation. It is a material that blends naturally with cool-toned skin and hair colors in particular.

Furthermore, despite its simple design, it has a strong presence, making it an attractive piece to wear for a long time.

Platinum looks especially good on people with cool tones (blue skin). For example, people with pink or blue skin tones will look beautiful with the dignified shine of platinum. It is also a material that looks good on people with fair skin.

In addition, since it gives a calm impression rather than being flashy, it is particularly suitable for those who prefer simple fashion and elegant styles.
