Simple gold engagement rings – a timeless evergreen

Simple gold engagement rings are popular with wearers of gold jewellery. That's because they combine well and so integrate easily into your own look. At the same time they look classically elegant and are perfect if you don't want to follow every trend, but have already found your style.

Cost of a simple gold engagement ring

The price depends on the fine gold content, i.e. the alloy. Just as important is the stone setting, since not all solitaires are equal. Specifically, prices for simple gold engagement rings start in the lower three-figure range. There's virtually no upper limit.
Tip: think about what matters to you and set yourself a budget. In a personal consultation we can then discuss together how to combine both.

What to look for when buying a gold solitaire

With simple classics, paying attention to quality is especially important. For an intense gold colour and a certain durability, you should choose at least 585 yellow gold. It's also worth getting familiar with diamonds.

When comparing engagement rings, always look closely at the following points:

  • stone size (carat or ct.)
  • clarity (e.g. TW, SI or VVS/IF)
  • colour (indicated by letters)
  • natural diamond vs. lab grown diamond

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about simple gold engagement rings

Which gold alloy is best for a simple engagement ring (585 or 750)?

The number indicates the fine gold content in a piece of jewellery. This affects durability, colour and price. With a low value, a large part of the material isn't gold, so it's considered less valuable. The middle ground, 585 gold, is often a good fit. With it you get a beautiful gold colour at a fair price in the long run. In the end, though, your personal taste and standards are decisive.

How do I care for a gold engagement ring so it stays beautiful for a long time?

As a rule: to protect your simple engagement ring and avoid damage, it's best to take it off for sleeping, cleaning or sport. If small deposits appear over time, you can make it shine again in three simple steps:

  1. Soak the ring for a few minutes in lukewarm water with a mild detergent
  2. Clean the prongs with a soft toothbrush
  3. Dry the engagement ring with a lint-free cloth

If scratches or other imperfections are still visible, you can have your gold engagement ring polished by a jeweller.

Is a gold solitaire suitable for everyday wear, or is it more delicate?

Thanks to its understated design, a simple engagement ring with a small stone tends to be suitable for everyday wear. That said, it also depends on your own daily routine.
