Simple Gold Wedding Bands
Wedding rings can sometimes be an after thought during wedding planning. Amidst the floral arrangements and seating charts, choosing a wedding band doesn't feel so immediately pressing. However, you do wear your wedding ring every, single day, so even if it doesn't feel pressing, it should be well-considered.
In this blog post, we'll explore the allure of simple gold wedding bands, guide you in selecting the perfect one, and highlight the importance of ethical jewelry.
Why We Only Make Simple Gold Bands
Siggy has made thousands of rings over the last 20 years, she's an expert and loves the meditative quality of making the perfect version of a simple ring over and over again:
-
A simple gold band never goes out of style. Its understated beauty means it suits any engagement ring and can be passed down from generation to generation.
-
It can be worn alone or stacked with other rings, offering flexibility as your style evolves.
-
Gold is a durable metal that can withstand daily wear, making it a lasting symbol of your commitment.
Choosing Your Perfect Simple Gold Wedding Band
-
Consider the Gold Karat:
-
24K (pure gold): Soft, not ideal for daily wear.
- 22K The closest colour to pure gold, but durable enough for every day wear
-
18K Rich color, more durable.
-
14K More affordable, very durable, a cooler tone than the other metals.
-
9K Durable but can scratch, the alloying metals make up a higher percentage of the composition of the ring than pure gold.
2. Select the Band Width:
Thin bands (2-3mm) are delicate and stackable. Medium bands (4-6mm) are a classic choice. Wider bands (7mm+) make a bold statement.
3. Choose Your Profile:
-
Rounded: Rounded interior and exterior for comfort.
-
Flat: Modern, angular look, we put our custom curve on the inside of the band for comfort.
4. Finish:
-
Polished: Shiny and reflective.
-
Matte/Brushed: Subtle, modern texture.
