Gold Rings
Gold rings are amazingly exquisite pieces of jewelry, whether they are adorned with a dazzling gemstone or just as a simple, elegant band. A gold ring has traditionally been a symbol of love, devotion, and beauty. For thousands of years, people have given a band of gold to show their affection for each other, whether as friends, lovers, or spouses. Many different alloys of gold are used for this purpose, meaning that it’s always possible to find a gold ring that’s suitable for your tastes and your budget.

Gold Ring Fundamentals
The most fundamental aspect of any gold ring is the purity and alloy of gold it is made of. This is crucial since it will strongly influence the value of the jewelry. Gold rings can typically be found in three colors: yellow, white, and rose. Each has its own distinct look, and each can be found in several different purities.
Yellow gold rings are the ultimate in classic beauty and elegance. These time honored pieces are amazing with any gemstone and with any design. White gold rings tend to be a bit more expensive, but this is because their silver like hue and tone is always in high demand. A white gold ring looks amazing on its own or with a vivacious and deeply colored gemstone. Rose gold rings are known for their pinkish color. A rose gold ring is made by adding extra copper to the alloy to bring out the reddish color.

Each of the above colored alloys also comes in a variety of purities. This is easily identified by looking at the carat number. 24k gold is 100% pure, but this is typically not used for jewelry because it’s too soft. Adding other metallic elements to the alloy strengthens the gold, but decreases the overall value of the ring. 14k gold rings are the standard for this kind of jewelry. They tend to deliver a great deal of value without costing too much. 10k gold rings are inexpensive, but this is due to the fact that nearly half of the alloy is something other than gold. 18k gold rings are often reserved for holding the most expensive and beautiful gemstones, such as diamonds, emeralds, or rubies. Each of these purities will provide a beautiful gold ring.
