Simple Gold Wedding Bands

Planning your big day? Amidst the floral arrangements and seating charts, choosing the perfect wedding band is a significant step. A simple gold wedding band is a classic choice that transcends trends, symbolizing enduring love and commitment. At Good Gold, we believe that your wedding ring should not only be beautiful but also ethically sourced and sustainably made.

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. Let's dive in!

The Enduring Appeal of Simple Gold Bands


Why choose a simple gold wedding band? The reasons are plentiful:

  • Timeless Elegance: A simple gold band never goes out of style. Its understated beauty complements any engagement ring and personal style.
  • Versatility: It can be worn alone or stacked with other rings, offering flexibility as your style evolves.
  • Durability: Gold is a durable metal that can withstand daily wear, making it a lasting symbol of your commitment.
  • Symbolism: The unbroken circle of a wedding band represents eternal love, and gold signifies purity and devotion.


Choosing Your Perfect Simple Gold Wedding Band



  1. 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, lightest color.

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.


Good Gold: Ethical and Sustainable Wedding Rings



At Good Gold, we're committed to providing you with beautiful, ethically sourced, and sustainable wedding rings. We believe that your love story should be celebrated with a ring that reflects your values.
