Why Choose A Gold Ring

When choosing the metal type for a ring, there is a lot to think about as it has an impact on the longevity and ultimately the way the ring looks. Gold rings can be found in a few different colours, yellow gold rings is what we expect when thinking about gold. But there is also white gold rings which resemble the colour of silver, and rose gold rings which offers a pinker hue.

There is a lot of benefits to choosing yellow gold rings, it’s a popular eye-catching colour which has been popular for centuries. Offering a stunning timeless style, these rings enrapture the vintage aesthetic, so it’s perfectly suited for those who seek traditionalism or adding to that classic touch. From minimalists to maximalists, gold rings ooze glamour and also makes it the perfect ring to pass through generations.

A beautiful metal, yellow gold is made by mixing pure gold with other metals such as silver, copper, nickel, zinc and palladium. The copper gives yellow gold rings their distinct golden colour, and it also makes it highly durable and long-lasting. Also, yellow gold rings are easy to maintain, but if you do damage it or the ring needs resizing don’t worry. As these rings are softer and is much easier to repair and resize than other gold rings.

Yellow gold rings also pair well with coloured gemstones such as rubies and emeralds as well as diamonds, the warm and bright finish really enhances the bright stone colours. The rich tone of this gold ring also complements warm skin tones, but ultimately what colour gold ring you choose is a personal preference.
