Learn About Gold Rings
Gold has been used as a jewellery metal for thousands of years. Its warm brilliance as well as its high malleability and resistance to tarnish make it an ideal metal for fine jewellery. The gold ring is one of the oldest jewellery items, first mentioned in Rome in 432 AD. A standard and classic jewellery item, the gold ring has been a symbol of engagement, marriage, betrothal, and general prosperity.
Gold as a Jewellery Metal
All gold used in jewellery is alloyed with a combination of other metals to improve the item’s durability. The purity of gold is expressed in karats (k or kt), 24 karats being the highest gold purity available on the market. 24 karat gold is equal to approximately 99% pure gold and 1% alloy. Most fine jewellery ranges between 14k (~59% gold) to 18k gold (~75% gold) in order to maintain strength and durability while keeping the warm gold colour and brilliance.
Gold Ring Colors
Yellow Gold Rings
traditional rings on the market. Yellow gold evokes the beauty of Roman and Greek aesthetics, Celtic folk culture, and the romance of 17th Century Europe. Today, the flaxen colour of gold has come to represent innocence, purity and honour which make it a popular metal for gold wedding bands, gold engagement rings and gold anniversary rings
White Gold Rings
have skyrocketed in popularity within the past decade. White gold rings are alloyed with platinum, palladium, silver or other very white, lustrous metals to create the white gold colour. White gold rings are then plated with rhodium, another durable, silvery-white metal from the platinum family. Rhodium plating enhances the white colour and reinforces the entire ring. The cool lustre of white gold along with its affordability have made it an extremely popular metal used in diamond engagement rings, fashion rings and diamond set right hand rings.
Two and Three Tone Gold Rings
combine various colors of gold in a single ring to create a subtle but attractive design or pattern. Two tone gold rings are especially popular as men’s wedding rings and women’s right hand rings. Many times two and three tone gold rings incorporate rose gold, green gold, purple gold or even chocolate gold.
Gold Ring Sizing
Gold, being such a malleable metal, is the easiest of all precious metals to resize. However, it is always best for you to choose the correct size before you order the ring. Read up on how to accurately or discreetly take her ring size in our Ring Size Guide.
