18k Gold Ring

18k gold ring, solitaire and engagement: a piece to pass down

The 18k gold ring is the ring of commitments: engagement, wedding, family heirloom. This selection of 50 designs offers a gold ring for women as well as a gold ring for men, set with moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond. Every ring is made to order, in the metal and finger size you choose.

Why choose an 18k gold ring?

• A 750 gold ring contains 750 parts per thousand of pure gold, or 75%: the richest colour of our three purities.
• Solid gold, gold all the way through: it can be repolished and does not oxidise as silver does.
• Solitaires and engagement rings: surrounded solitaire, pavé halo, pavé princess, 1 carat.
• Stones in Round, Oval, Radiant, Heart and Flower.
• Finger sizes from 47 to 57 depending on the design.

Solitaire, halo or princess: choosing your design

The engagement ring

A gold engagement ring is chosen for the long term. The surrounded solitaire and the pavé halo give the stone more presence, while the pavé princess has a more graphic line.

The solitaire alone

For a gold solitaire ring, the height of the setting changes everything: the higher it is, the more the stone catches the light, but the more exposed it is to knocks. For a gold wedding ring, a lower solitaire is often the right compromise.

Yellow, white or rose: the colour of gold

White gold and diamond

The white gold ring is alloyed with pale metals for a silvery shade. Its neutral background shows off the white gold diamond ring as well as the gold diamond ring. On engagement rings, the finish is chosen on the product page.

Yellow gold and rose gold

The yellow gold ring keeps the warm shade of gold. Rose contains more copper, hence its soft nuance. The colour comes from the alloy, not from paint.

18k, 14k or 10k gold

The prestige of 18k

At 750 parts per thousand, gold has the richest colour and the reputation of fine jewellery. It is slightly more prone to scratches than a more heavily alloyed gold. The 18k gold ring for women like the 18k gold ring for men can be kept and passed down.

What sets the cost

The cost of an 18k gold ring depends on the weight of gold, the width of the mount, the stone and the purity. For the same design, 18k is more expensive than 14k, which is itself more expensive than 10k. Our article 18k gold, cost and value explains these gaps, and the guide to the cost of an engagement ring helps you set a budget.

For more everyday use, the 14k gold ring is harder, and the 10k gold ring more accessible.

Which stone should you choose?

Moissanite, created in a laboratory, measures about 9.25 on the Mohs scale and shines with a very lively sparkle. In VVS1, its inclusions are tiny. It passes the classic diamond tester, but it is not a diamond. Lab-grown diamond jewellery is made of real diamonds, with a hardness of 10. Natural diamond jewellery is formed in the earth: it is the rarest stone. A gold ring with diamonds is chosen according to how you feel about this origin. The guide moissanite or diamond details the comparison.

Finding your finger size

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

Caring for your ring

Take it off for sport, housework and swimming, and put on perfume and cream before slipping it on. Clean it in lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, dry it with a soft cloth, store it on its own. It pairs with an 18k gold bracelet or 18k gold earrings.

Frequently asked questions

Can an 18k gold engagement ring be returned?

Yes, within 30 days instead of 14 for engagement rings, except personalised or made-to-measure pieces.

Is 18k gold too fragile for every day?

It scratches a little more easily than a more heavily alloyed gold. A thick mount and careful storage help it age well.

What does 18K mean on a ring?

It is the purity: 18 parts of pure gold in 24, or 750 parts per thousand. An 18k gold ring and an 18 carat gold ring therefore mean the same thing.
