I am not sure with white gold. I know with yellow gold 14K and 18K can appear to be different shades. Does the ring you like in 18K look like it will match??

I don't think it would matter since it is white gold- the carats though it means the higher the carats of the gold the softer the gold is (the more pure gold it has in the band).

With yellow gold the color of the gold is slightly diffrent in the carats- usually the higher the carat the more yellow the gold is.


Hope this made sense.

Nope...there shouldn't be a noticeable difference. My e-ring is platinum and my w-band is 14k, and you really can't notice any diffrence at all.
