10k Gold Ring

10k gold ring, solid gold without fragility

The 10k gold ring is the gateway to solid gold: 417 parts per thousand, a very hard alloy, and the gentlest cost of our three purities. This collection of 50 designs offers a gold ring for women and a gold ring for men, in moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond, made to order.

Why choose a 10k gold ring?

• Solid gold at 417 parts per thousand (41.7% pure gold), and not plated.
• The hardest alloy: the best equipped against scratches and knocks.
• For the same design, the cheapest purity of the three gold purities.
• Solitaires and engagement rings: surrounded solitaire, pavé halo, pavé princess.
• Shapes Round, Oval, Radiant, Heart and Flower.

10k gold or 9 carat gold: a fair comparison

In jewellery, 9 carat gold is a common purity: 375 parts per thousand. 10k contains 417, a little more pure gold, with a similar hardness. A 9 carat gold ring and the 10k ring are therefore cousins: the second simply contains more gold. Our article on hallmarks on gold, plated and silver jewellery explains how to read the purity of a gold jewel.

Scratches and knocks

The lower the purity, the harder the alloy. The 10k ring is the one that fears bumps least in a day of work or sport. The trade-off is a slightly paler shade.

The budget

The cost depends on the weight of gold, the mount and the stone. Between 10k, 14k and 18k, 10k remains the most affordable for the same design. Our comparison of purities and the article 10K or 14K gold help you decide. For a more assertive colour, look first at the 14k gold ring, then the 18k version.

The designs and colours

Solitaire and engagement

A 10k gold solitaire ring keeps its stone firmly in place. For an engagement, as for a gold wedding ring, the choice of purity is also a budget choice: you can invest in the stone rather than in the metal. Engagement rings can be returned within 30 days.

White, yellow or rose

White gold is alloyed with pale metals: the white gold ring gives the stone a neutral background. The yellow gold ring stays warm, the rose gold ring owes its softness to copper. On engagement rings, the finish is chosen on the product page.

Which stone?

Moissanite, created in a laboratory, measures about 9.25 on the Mohs scale, with a very lively sparkle. In VVS1, its inclusions are tiny. It passes the classic diamond tester, but it is not a diamond. The lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, with a hardness of 10, and the natural diamond is the rarest. A gold ring with diamonds gives relief to a paler gold, and the white gold diamond ring adds a light background. The guide moissanite or diamond compares them.

Finger size and care

Measuring your finger

Sizes run from 47 to 57 in French sizing, with the US equivalent on the product page. See the size guide.

Looking after the ring

A hard gold still needs care. Take the ring off for sport, housework and swimming, clean it in lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, dry it and store it on its own. A solid gold jewel does not oxidise as silver does.
