Gold Jewellery

“Bright. Bold. Beautiful. Gold jewellery is precious just like you.”

Gold jewellery is timeless in appeal; warm, lustrous, glorious. Gold is one of the oldest precious metals used in jewellery making. Its charisma lies in its luminous shine, strength, and variety of warm hues. Gold jewellery also stands way above other metals for its durability, visual versatility, and resistance to rust and corrosion. Gold jewellery can be sculptural in form, perfected to a polished finish or textured in unique patterns. What's more, it is an investment. Think gold jewellery and think heirloom jewellery, wealth creation and future generations.

We have a vast treasure trove of gold jewellery collections, expertly curated from some of the best goldsmiths and designers of fine jewellery. Our especially curated collections feature solid gold (straddling both European and American gold standards) jewellery starting from 8k, 9k, 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, and 24k, besides gold-plated designer jewellery in 18k and 22k gold.

Solid gold jewellery

Allow us to introduce you to fine solid gold jewellery. The purity of gold is expressed in terms of ‘karats’ - the higher the gold content, the higher the karatage. 24 karat is the purest form of gold but rarely used in jewellery making because it is too soft and will scratch and dent easily. To make wearable gold stronger and more durable, it’s blended with other metals. Higher the percentage of alloys, the lower the gold karatage and more muted the yellow colour of the gold.

Popular solid gold karatage in jewellery

18 karat gold jewellery

18 karat gold is an alloy of solid gold with 75 percent pure gold and 25 percent copper, silver or other metals. Gold jewellery in 18 karat is the most popular in gold jewellery making, available in a variety of designs along with precious gemstones like diamonds and pearls. The yellow hue is more distinct than in lower karat gold, and jewellery created in 18k is popular for everyday wear. 18 karat gold is as attractive in stark designs as it is when studded with precious and semi-precious gemstones.

14 karat gold jewellery

14 karat gold is the most cost-effective amongst gold jewellery. It is resilient to scratches, stays in shape, and is the ideal everyday-wear gold jewellery. It is a mix of 58.3 percent gold with other metals, making it more durable than jewellery with higher gold content. Whether it’s a statement piece, an eternity band, or a dainty charmer, you will find a diverse variety of 14k designs in our gold jewellery collections. Wedding bands and engagement rings with diamonds are exceptionally popular in 14 karat gold.

Are rose gold and white gold real gold jewellery?

Rose gold and white gold are, indeed, real gold! Our exquisite designs in gold jewellery come in brilliant tones of yellow, rose and white gold. The hue depends on the metals mixed with pure gold to create the alloy.

• Soft and feminine, rose gold is in pinkish-orange tones and created with a blend of gold with red-toned metals such as copper. It’s very sturdy and rarely requires any plating.

• Elegant and stately, white gold is silver-white in colour and created by mixing gold with white metals such as nickel or zinc. To give it a polished finish and protection, a coating of rhodium (a precious metal like platinum) plating is applied on white gold. When rhodium is dyed black, we get darker shades of white gold!

• Yellow gold is purer gold in 18k, 22k, or 24k.

Gold-plated jewellery

• Gold-plated jewellery is not solid gold but is considered great as an affordable luxury option for high-end designer jewellery. Gold-plated jewellery is the perfect solution when you want to dress up in the splendour of warm gold but don’t want to deplete your bank balance.

• Often mistaken for real gold, gold-plated jewellery is firm and enduring, with a copper, brass, or sterling silver base electroplated with a layer of 14k, 18k and 22k gold. The thicker the coating, the more premium the jewellery. A range of 1.5 to 3 micron plating is rated as high-grade gold plating.

• Gold-plated jewellery keeps its shape intact due to the base metal’s strength. What’s more, quality gold-plated jewellery can last for many years if treated with care, and most pieces can be re-plated when the gold wears off.

We have gold-plated jewellery in both contemporary and traditional styles in a range of earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces, with many sparkling away with a splash of pearls, semi-precious and precious gemstones, and beads. If you are searching for fabulous jewellery at equally fabulous prices, gold-plated jewellery is your answer: its affordability allows you to buy new jewellery more often without compromising on style or design.
