Question 1

14K or 18K gold?

Accepted Answer

18K gold has more pure gold, so it shows a richer, deeper color, but it is a little softer. 14K gold has less pure gold, so it is a paler color yet harder and more scratch-resistant for everyday wear. Both are solid gold and both last a lifetime with care.

Question 2

Brushed or polished finish?

Accepted Answer

A polished finish is bright and shiny — the classic wedding-band look that reflects the most light. A brushed (matte) finish is softly textured, more modern, and hides everyday scratches better. The choice is about the look you want; both wear well and can be refreshed later.

Question 3

What width should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Width is measured across the top of the band. A slimmer band of about 2 to 3 mm looks dainty; a wider band of 4 to 6 mm or more feels more substantial, and men's bands are usually wider. Choose by comfort and style.

Question 4

Comfort fit or standard fit?

Accepted Answer

A comfort-fit band is gently domed on the inside, so it slides over the knuckle easily and sits softly on the finger — a good choice for daily wear. A standard-fit band is flat inside. Comfort fit usually feels a touch looser, so size it carefully.

Question 5

Can a plain band be resized?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A plain gold band is the easiest of all rings to resize, up or down, because it is solid metal with no stones to work around. If your finger changes size over the years, a jeweler can adjust the band without affecting its look. Eligible rings include one free resize within 30 days of delivery.

Question 6

How much is a plain gold wedding band?

Accepted Answer

The price of a plain gold band depends on the karat, the width and how much gold it uses, so an 18K or a wider band costs more than a slim 14K one. There are no diamonds to add to the price. Prices change with the gold market, so we show today's live prices below.

Question 7

Which gold color can I choose?

Accepted Answer

You can choose yellow, white or rose gold, each in 14K or 18K. Yellow gold is the warm, traditional wedding metal. White gold is bright and modern and pairs with white diamonds. Rose gold has a soft pink tone. All three are solid gold and wear the same in daily life.
