How do I choose a gold ring?

In the world of jewellery, styles, sizes and types constantly get updated according to the reigning trends of the season. With infinite choices available, the basic principle in ring choice is to simply go for the ring design you love, in a material that is

♦ Valuable
♦ Long lasting
♦ Matches your budget

Gold rings resonate with all of the above. That said, here are a few additional things to consider when it comes to choosing a gold ring.

Choose hallmarked gold rings

Certification of gemstones and hallmarking of gold assure you of the quality of your gold ring. Designer solid gold and gold-plated sterling silver rings will always have a hallmark that tells you the purity of the gold or silver used in the piece. It is a stamp often found on the inner curves of the ring that says 22k, 18k or so depending on the karatage.

What is gold karat?

The purity of gold is measured in karat (k). Pure gold or 24k gold is yellow, beautiful and precious, but too soft to be used in jewellery.

To make jewellery, pure gold is mixed with a variety of metals like silver, nickel, zinc and palladium to create alloys of gold that are strong and resistant to damage. Among the most popular and valuable purities in gold rings are 22k (which is 91.6% pure gold) and 18k (75% pure gold). Next in line, 14k gold has a (58.3% purity). There are other variants like 10k and 9k that have a lower content of pure gold.

Choose solid gold rings in 22k, 18k or 14k

Finger jewellery experiences the hardest knocks and therefore rings crafted in solid gold are the best! Because solid gold stays valuable almost forever. Why? It won’t scratch or peel off! The colour does not fade or change either.

Gold rings in 18k /14k / 9k gold will be durable (resistant to surface scratches) and significantly more affordable than a 22 karat solid gold version and more valuable than corresponding gold-plated ones. What needs to be noted is that the higher the karatage, the greater the purity and the more expensive the pricing.

Gold-plated silver rings

On the other hand, gold-plated pieces are affordable and you get more for less! Buying gold vermeil or gold-plated sterling silver rings makes perfect sense when we want to keep up with the latest in ring styles without blowing a hole in the pocket. But the top layer of gold will not last more than 2-3 years. However, the silver base in top-quality designer gold-plated rings is a valuable precious metal too. So the loss of value over time is minimised.

Solid gold rings come in yellow, white, rose hues

Yellow is the natural colour of pure solid gold. Ever the traditional favourite, yellow gold is favoured for its recognisable warm colour more than anything else.

White gold rings are made from an alloy of solid gold and metals like zinc and silver that has a silvery tone. This lovely white hue is often enhanced by an additional plating of rhodium a precious metal like platinum. White gold rings are loved for their pristine appeal and easy elegance. White diamonds shine brightes when set in white gold rings.

Rose gold rings are yet another trending style. Rose gold is pure gold mixed with copper and silver to create the characteristic, beautiful, glossy rose-pink colour. The romantic blush of rosegold is favoured for engagement rings and jewellery for bridesmaids.

Black gold rings are solid gold rings that are plated with the precious metal rhodium that is dyed black. Currently trending and favoured by those with an edgy sense of style and yet want their rings in pure luxury materials.
