The Gold Ring - an all-time classic
It can’t get classier than gold when it comes to engagement rings and wedding bands. Gold is a precious material that is loved for its versatility and unique qualities. Browse our wide selection of gold rings and choose your favorite shade of yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold.
Gold is a material that maintains its value. The value of gold is largely determined by the pure gold content. Because pure gold is very delicate as a material it has to be blended with other precious metals for it to endure wearing. The amount of pure gold in your jewelry is indicated in carats. The higher the number of carats the more pure gold has been used in the metal blend of your piece. We recommend choosing a 14-karat or 18-karat gold ring which can be considered as a sweet spot between value and practicality. Your ring will keep its worth but it won’t be too delicate for daily wear.
Another reason for creating gold blends rather than just using pure gold is the opportunities this gives in terms of colors. By blending various precious metals the shade of gold can be adjusted from silver-like white gold to the classy warm hues of yellow gold. The looks of your gold jewelry are to a large extent determined by the color of the blend. We recommend choosing your gold ring based on the color scheme of your other gold jewelry, to ensure they match beautifully. Yellow gold is a classy choice that never grows old. We also offer a wide range of white gold and rose gold rings.
How to take care of your gold ring
It is easy to maintain the glow of your gold ring for years to come as long as you take good care of it. Gold is a fairly carefree jewelry material, however, there are a couple of things that are good to keep in mind just to be safe. Gold is a soft material and therefore it can be scratched easily. Therefore it is smart to take off your gold ring when heading to the gym for example. It is also best to take off your ring when going for a swim in the pool. Chlorine and gold do not combine well! For similar reasons, you should first do your makeup and hair in the morning before wearing your finest gold pieces. The chemicals of your hair products and makeup might react with delicate gold jewelry.
Remember to wash your gold ring now and then. You can do this by soaking your gold ring in mild soap water for a couple of hours. Rinse the ring carefully with water and dry using a soft towel. Your gold ring will look good as new, especially if you polish the ring after washing it. We also offer jewel cleaner to clean your precious gold jewelry.
