Four hundred and two pieces in solid gold, priced from $159 to just over $1,700. This is the widest view of the catalogue — every solid gold ring, necklace, bracelet and earring in one place, with no vermeil mixed in. If you have decided that you want gold that goes all the way through the metal and will still be serviceable in twenty years, this is the page to browse.
It is a large page, so it is worth knowing how it breaks down before you scroll. Rings dominate: wedding bands are the single biggest group, followed by plain and patterned gold rings, then gemstone rings and engagement rings. Necklaces, bracelets and earrings follow. If you already know the category, the narrower pages are quicker — wedding bands, engagement rings, gemstone rings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets and stud earrings. If you want the cheaper alternative in the same designs, see vermeil.
What "solid gold" means on this page, and what it rules out
Solid 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold alloyed with harder metals. The important word is throughout: there is no core of another metal underneath, so nothing can wear through to expose brass or silver at an edge. That single property is what makes a piece repolishable, repairable and, for many designs, resizable for decades rather than months.
Pure 24k gold is not used for jewelry that gets worn, because it is soft enough to deform under ordinary handling. 14k sits at the point where the colour is still visibly rich and the metal is hard enough for daily wear, which is why it became the working standard for fine jewelry in the US market.
Our entry solid-gold tier is hallmarked 9K (37.5% gold) in the UK and Europe and 10K (41.7%) in the US. That is a regional hallmarking convention applied to the same physical product, not two different qualities. It costs less than 14k, and it is also harder and paler — less gold, more alloy. If your priority is scratch resistance over colour saturation, that tier is arguably the better buy.
What this page rules out is anything plated. Gold plating is typically under 0.5 microns, usually over brass, and it wears through. We do not sell gold plated jewelry in any collection. The one alternative we do sell is 14k gold vermeil, a legally defined standard requiring at least 2.5 microns of gold bonded over solid 925 sterling silver — five times the plating minimum, over a precious metal rather than a base one. Background reading: why 14K solid gold and vermeil vs plated.
Where the money goes at each price band
The spread on this page is wide enough that it helps to know what changes as you move up it.
Around $160 to $250 buys plain and lightly textured solid gold — thin stacking bands, small pendants, simple piercings, slim signets. These are light pieces with no stones. The gold is the same purity as anything else on the page; what you are buying less of is metal weight and setting labour.
$250 to $500 is where most of the catalogue sits, and where stone-set designs begin: single lab diamonds, small bezel-set gemstones, pavé bands, chain bracelets, signets with a set stone. This band covers the great majority of everyday purchases.
$500 to $900 brings larger centre stones, eternity and half-eternity settings, heavier chains and multi-stone gemstone rings. Most engagement rings land here.
Above $900 is dominated by weight and stone size — solid bangles, heavy chains, larger diamond and sapphire settings. A hinged gold bangle is expensive for an unglamorous reason: it contains several times the gold of a ring.
Choosing a category when you are not sure
If it is for yourself, daily
The pieces that get worn most are the ones that need no decisions after purchase. A plain or lightly textured band, a small stud, a fine chain. Look at everyday jewelry, which is filtered specifically for this, and at stackable rings if you want something you can add to over time rather than buy in one go.
If it is a gift
Necklaces, bracelets and earrings need no size, which removes the single biggest risk in buying jewelry for someone else. Rings need a size, and guessing is unreliable. See gifts and gifts under $300, and consider personalised pieces if you want it to read as specific rather than generic.
If it marks an occasion
Wedding and engagement covers proposals and ceremonies; anniversary gifts and birthday gifts are filtered for those. Birthstone jewelry attaches a specific month to a piece, which is what usually turns a generic gift into a considered one.
Stones across the solid gold range
Lab-grown diamonds are the most common stone here, appearing in wedding bands, engagement rings, pavé settings and pendants. They are chemically, structurally and optically identical to mined diamonds — the difference is origin, and the price gap is large enough that most buyers end up with a visibly bigger stone for the same budget. More detail in diamond vs lab diamond.
Among coloured stones, sapphire and emerald have the deepest selection, with ruby, pearl, topaz, turquoise and aquamarine appearing in smaller numbers. Hardness varies more than people expect, and it matters for anything worn daily: sapphire is very hard and forgiving of knocks, emerald is more brittle and better suited to a piece that comes off for manual work, and pearl is soft enough that it should not be worn while cleaning or swimming at all.
Sizing across categories
Everything is made to order, so size is fixed at production rather than adjusted afterwards. Rings run US 4 to 8.5 including half sizes on most designs, with a small number of styles running US 3 to 9. Measure over the knuckle as well as the base of the finger and take the larger number — the ring has to clear the knuckle to go on. Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are largest.
Necklaces come in 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 inch lengths, with adjustable sets in S (14-15-16), M (16-17-18) and L (18-19-20). Bracelets are 5.5" (S), 6" (M) and 6.5–7" (L). Full detail in the size guide and how to measure your ring size.
Care and longevity
Solid gold is low maintenance. Keep it away from chlorine and abrasive cleaners; a soft cloth restores the shine. The parts that need attention are not the gold but the settings — prongs on stone-set pieces loosen slowly over years and are worth checking, and clasps on chains are the usual failure point on a necklace or bracelet. See the care guide and how to care for gold jewelry.
Solid gold does not turn skin green. That reaction comes from copper in plated and costume jewelry, and is explained in this article.

Frequently asked questions
Is everything on this page solid gold?
Yes. This collection is filtered to solid gold only — no vermeil and no plating. The gold runs all the way through every piece, which is why these can be repolished and repaired rather than replaced.
What is the price range across this collection?
Roughly $159 at the lightest end to just over $1,700 for the heaviest bangles and largest stone settings. Most of the catalogue sits between $250 and $500.
Why do two similar-looking pieces have very different prices?
Almost always gold weight and stone content. A thin band and a wide band in the same design contain different amounts of metal, and a set stone adds both material and setting labour. Nothing on this page differs in gold purity within the same hallmark tier.
What is the difference between 9K, 10K and 14K here?
14K is 58.3% pure gold. Our entry tier is the same piece hallmarked to regional standards — 9K (37.5%) in the UK and Europe, 10K (41.7%) in the US. The entry tier is cheaper, harder and paler. Both are genuinely solid gold.
Should I buy solid gold or vermeil?
For a piece worn every day and never removed, solid gold is the better long-term purchase because it can be serviced indefinitely. For a piece worn often but not constantly, or for trying a style before committing, vermeil costs roughly a third as much.
Can these pieces be resized or repaired later?
In most cases yes, which is the practical advantage of solid gold. Plain bands are the most straightforward. Full eternity bands and heavily stone-set designs are the most constrained, because stones run the full circumference.
Are the diamonds real?
They are lab-grown diamonds, which are real diamonds — same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical behaviour as mined stones. The difference is how they were formed, and the price.
How long does an order take to arrive?
Production is 4–6 business days because each piece is made after you order, then shipping time on top. US orders dispatch from Connecticut with duties included; UK, EU, Canada and Australia orders dispatch from London.
Will solid gold irritate sensitive skin?
It is far less likely to than plated or costume jewelry, because there is no base metal to react with. Most reactions people attribute to gold come from nickel or copper in low-grade alloys or plating.
Where do I start if I want one piece I will wear every day?
A plain band, a small stud or a fine chain — the pieces that require no decisions after purchase. Everyday jewelry is filtered for exactly that, and best sellers shows what most customers actually choose.
