Gold Rings

At Michael Hill, all of our white, yellow and rose gold rings are made from a minimum of 10kt gold. This ensures your gold ring from Michael Hill will remain shiny and lustrous for many years, but it is still important to care for your gold jewellery. Regularly polishing your gold rings with a soft cloth will remove dust, dirt and oils that may build up over time and renew your ring’s shine. Contact with harsh chemicals should be avoided, so take off your gold rings before swimming in the pool or spa. We recommend taking your gold ring off at the end of the day and storing it somewhere safe, such as a jewellery box. You should also bring your gold ring into your nearest Michael Hill store for regular, professional cleaning.

There are endless possibilities when it comes to styling your gold jewellery. Express your own personal style by wearing your gold ring in a way that feels best to you. This may be complimenting your yellow gold ring with other yellow gold jewellery, or contrasting it with white or rose gold rings. Stacking gold rings is a popular choice, with three or more gold rings worn on the same finger. A yellow, white or rose gold engagement ring is usually paired with a complementary wedding band, while men's gold rings can be worn with a men’s gold chain or gold bracelet for a tied-together look.

At Michael Hill, we are dedicated to crafting the highest quality gold jewellery, and all of our gold rings are 10kt and above. While pure gold is 24 karats, this is generally too malleable to be used in everyday jewellery, and is mixed with another metal such as silver, zinc or copper to create a gold alloy. The higher the karat of your gold ring, the more pure gold is present. Hence a 14 or 18kt gold ring will tend to come at a higher price point than a 10kt gold ring, though all are precious. Rings crafted from genuine gold alloys are high quality, and with proper care will retain their shine and colour for a lifetime.
