For me, gold is always in style. I'll never tire of my gold jewelry. I love wearing it in my bracelets, earrings, necklaces... and... my gold rings, which is what I want to talk to you about in today's post.
Although there are many models, and gold is always elegant in your hands, I would like to suggest that you review what you have in your jewelry box and check if you are getting the most out of it. possible combinations that give your gold rings a touch of color.
To help you, I have some suggestions for you.
5 ideas for gold rings with set stones
Personally, I love them. the simple gold rings. If they have a good design, I think that The pure lines provide elegance and simplicity.
Can I give you an example? Gold Plug, one of my favorites if we talk about minimalist jewelry, is an example of what I want to tell you.
But what I want to tell you today goes in another direction. I would like you to pay attention to gold rings that have a touch of color, that is, set stones or precious minerals.
If they've been fascinating us for centuries, there must be a reason, don't you think?
Take a look at these gems and then tell me what you think.
1. Opal
Opal is a precious stone highly prized in jewelry. There are so many types of opals, with such a wide variety of colors that one can almost say that each opal is unique because it is impossible to find two identical ones.
Think that there are red, green, black, yellow, violet... Also blue, like the five opals inserted in the gold ring Karis Gold.
2. Malachite
It is a mineral of a very intense green, generally with bands of different shades which are appreciated according to the cut of the mineral.
As a curiosity, it has a high copper composition and was formerly used crushed as pigment for artistic works, such as paintings and murals, or even as a cosmetic (it is said that the Egyptians used malachite powder to paint their eyes).
If that deep green hue mesmerizes you as much as it does me, you can have it in a gold ring like the Nidhi Malachite Gold, with three stones set, a larger central one and two lateral ones.
3. Zirconia
Also called zirconite or cubic zirconia. It is a synthetic gem created from zirconium oxide. The result is a very durable stone, with a shine and properties that make it the most economical competitor to diamonds.
The most common zirconia is colorless, but it can be found in other shades like these seven black Zirconia of the Valentina Black Gold; in pink, like the Valentina Pink Gold; or blue, like the Valentina Blue Gold, three rings that you can wear together.
4. Sapphire
If you have a gold ring with sapphires, you have a treasure, because sapphire is one of the most valued gemstones in jewelry.
It is true that it can be found in different colors, but the truth is that when we think of a sapphire, what comes to mind is a spectacular blue stone. That is the classic sapphire, a stone that traditionally used in engagement rings. like the one worn by Lady Di, for example, which Kate Middleton later wore.
Although you don't necessarily have to hear wedding bells to allow yourself some sapphires like those of the Saphire Blue Gold.
5. Lapis lazuli
I continue with the intense and hypnotizing blues and I come to this gold ring with lapis lazuli, a semiprecious stone composed of various minerals: Nidhi Lapis Gold.
Isn't it fascinating? It was also a favorite stone of the Egyptians, who used it as an ornament on their figures. That's why Lapis lazuli has been found in the tombs of the pharaohs, for example, and which was used to decorate funeral masks.
It later had many other uses, especially as a pigment. If you're an art lover, you'll know that it had its heyday during the Renaissance.The Medici were fascinated by the blue of lapis lazuli, and It was a color widely used by Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
At one time it was a stone more expensive than gold!
All these rings have a Sterling Silver base and are plated in 18 kt gold.
To plate gold is a technique that has been used for hundreds of years. It involves placing a thin sheet of gold covering the other metal.
Since pure gold has a very high price, it is a way to be able to enjoy the jewelry in a more affordable way and with a perfect Finishing.
And now, tell me, has what I've told you inspired you to put a touch of color on your hands?
