Gold rings have been a sought-after jewellery accessory for thousands of years, and some of the oldest gold rings ever found were made around 6,500 years ago. To this day, the beauty, elegance, preciousness and durability of solid gold make it a very popular choice of ring.
Of course, gold rings (like all solid gold jewellery) are expensive, so why would people invest in gold rings over cheaper metals?
Read on to explore the benefits of owning and wearing solid gold jewellery, as well as the versatility and timeless style of gold rings, and the different types of gold rings you might consider adding to your ring collection.
Types of gold rings:
1.Personalised Gold Rings – Personalised gold rings are perfect for those who want to add a pop of personality to their jewellery collection. They come in a variety of styles, including rough gold rings, cocktail gold rings and rings with more striking stones. These are made from solid gold and are likely to be high value investment pieces.
2.Classic Yellow Gold Wedding Bands: Wedding bands are traditionally made of gold, usually in the form of a simple ring, symbolising the eternal bond of marriage. They are a classic choice for couples to exchange vows, representing love and commitment.
3.Fine Gold Rings: Delicate and slender fine gold rings present a simple yet modern aesthetic. They can be worn alone for understated elegance or stacked for a more striking, personalised look.
4.Gold Stamp Rings: Stamp rings have a long history of being a symbol of personal identity and tradition. They are often engraved with initials, coats of arms or family crests, linking the wearer to his or her lineage.
5.Gold Stacking Rings – Stacking rings is a great way to add depth and texture to your jewellery collection. Gold stacking rings can be mixed and matched with other rings to create a unique and personalised look.
6.Simple Gold Rings – Classic gold rings are a must-have in any woman’s jewellery collection. Simple yet elegant, they are a versatile accessory for any occasion. Take our simple rose gold rings as an example.
7.Gemstone Gold Rings – A gold ring with gemstones makes a stunning piece of jewellery. You can choose from clear or pastel coloured gemstones or brightly coloured stones to add a splash of colour to your finger. Check out our Birthstone Rings for a variety of gold gemstone rings.
Advantages of solid gold rings:
Pure gold jewellery is known for its durability and strength, making it perfect for everyday wear. Rings can take a bit of a beating, especially if you wear them a lot, so being made from solid gold means they’ll stand up to life’s wear and tear better than softer metals like silver.
Unlike other metals, pure gold of 14 carats (14K) or more will not tarnish or corrode, which means it will always retain its stunning shine and beauty. It can sometimes tarnish from exposure to chemicals such as cosmetics and chlorine. Read our article on how to care for and clean your jewellery for some tips.
