What is a Two Tone
Can't decide between gold and silver for your wedding or engagement ring? Don't worry! There are several solutions, and a great option is a two-tone ring from TwoBirch! The wonderful thing about two-tone ring wraps and guards is that they are a wonderful way to bring both timeless colors into your daily jewelry wear.
A two-tone ring refers to an item that is made of two colors of metal. There are two ways to achieve this look, a two-tone model or plating.
The best way to achieve the two-tone look is by assembling two pieces. A great example of how to do this is to take a great yellow gold ring wrap guard and pair it up with a white gold solitaire engagement ring, achieving a stunning two-tone look.
Looking for something more subtle? Opt for using a two-tone ring wedding ring snuggie! Not like the blanket, though. Simply add a little bit of color, but not an overwhelming amount. The sample photos below show jacket rings made in two tone by casting two pieces and soldering them together.
The two-tone look for wedding ring guards and wraps can also be achieved by using the plating technique. In plating, the piece is cast in all one-color metal and there is white, yellow or rose gold applied to the areas of the ring that you chose to change the color of. While this method is inexpensive, it also does not last as long depending on daily wear.
If the shank is plated to a different color, it will wear quicker than the non-plated portions of the ring. For more on this, read our article on the differences between gold metals.
Creating a ring in two-tone means casting two pieces and the labor of assembling. While this is an added cost, we have seen hundreds of couples realize they made the right decision!
At TwoBirch, our two-tone items sold in gold are cast in two pieces and assembled giving them the true two-tone. Our silver line is plated due to the difficulty found in soldering silver, and the complex-quality issues that can be caused by using heated soldering techniques. At TwoBirch, we offer Rose, Yellow and White combinations. Since we make everything made-to-order, simply request your color combination and you're set!
