Twenty-five solid gold wedding rings, from $225 to $1,342. Twenty-three are wedding bands proper and two are gemstone designs. Twenty-one of the twenty-five are lab diamond set, which makes this the most stone-heavy wedding collection on the site — pavé, baguette, bezel, channel, eternity and half-eternity settings are all represented.
This page is about the band specifically rather than the proposal. If you are still choosing an engagement ring, start at engagement rings; if you want plain and unisex options alongside these, see wedding bands. Related: wedding and engagement jewelry, stackable rings and anniversary gifts.
The eternity decision
This is the choice that has the longest consequences, and it is worth understanding before anything else.
A full eternity band sets stones around the entire circumference. It is the most striking option and it catches light from every angle. It is also the most constrained ring in jewelry: it cannot be readily resized, because there is no plain metal to cut and rejoin. Over a lifetime most people's ring size changes — through weight change, pregnancy, arthritis, simply ageing — and a full eternity band cannot follow.
A half-eternity band puts stones across the top half only, with plain metal underneath. From above it is indistinguishable from a full eternity band. From the side, and to a jeweller, it is a ring that can still be resized. Four pieces here are half-eternity or bezel half-eternity designs.
For a ring intended to be worn permanently for decades, half-eternity is the more practical choice, and the visual difference in normal wear is close to nil. Full eternity makes sense if you are confident your size is stable or if the ring is not the one you will wear every day.
Settings, and how they wear over decades
Pavé
Five pieces. Many small stones set flush along the band, giving a continuous line of light. It reads as significantly more expensive than it costs. The stones are small, so an individual loss is inexpensive to fix but easy not to notice for weeks — worth a periodic look.
Channel
Stones held between two metal walls. The most protected setting for a band worn daily, because nothing stands proud of the surface and there are no prongs to catch or loosen. If you work with your hands, this is the setting to look for.
Bezel
Each stone wrapped individually in a rim of metal. Similar protection to channel with a more articulated look. Two bezel pieces here, plus bezel half-eternity designs. Sits flush against a neighbouring ring without catching, which matters if the band will be worn against an engagement ring.
Baguette
Five pieces use baguette cuts — a step cut with broad flashes of light rather than fine sparkle, and a cleaner architectural line. Baguettes set in a row read as more geometric and less traditional than round pavé. Being a step cut, clarity shows more, which is one reason lab-grown stones suit them well.
Curved bands, and the gap problem
Three pieces here are curved, and they solve a specific mechanical problem rather than being a style preference.
A straight band placed against a raised engagement ring leaves a visible gap. That gap is not only cosmetic: the two rings rock against each other with every movement of the hand, and over years they wear each other's metal down at the contact point. A curved or chevron band is shaped to nest around the setting so the two sit flush and stay put.
For pointed stone shapes — pear and marquise — a V-shaped band follows the outline where a simple curve will not.
If your engagement ring is bezel-set or low-set, a straight band will sit against it without a gap and none of this applies. The practical advice: order the engagement ring first and choose the band once you can see it on the hand.
Width, and how it changes fit
Width is the most underestimated variable in a wedding band.
A wide band fits more tightly than a narrow one at the same nominal size, because it sits against more of the finger. If you are between sizes and choosing a wide band, size up. If you have previously worn a narrow band comfortably at a given size, do not assume a wide one in the same size will feel the same.
Width also changes how a band reads on the hand. Narrow bands lengthen the visual line of a finger; wide bands shorten it. And a wider band gives any pattern or stone setting room to be legible, where a very narrow band reduces detail to a suggestion.
Sizing for a ring worn permanently
Every ring is made to order, so size is fixed at production. For a wedding band this matters more than for any other piece, because it is intended never to come off.
Most designs run US 4 to 8.5 including half sizes. Measure the base of the finger, then measure over the knuckle, and take the larger of the two — the ring has to clear the knuckle to go on at all, and this is the most common sizing mistake. Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are at their largest; they are noticeably smaller in the morning and in cold weather.
If you are ordering two bands for two people, measure both on the same evening and independently. See the size guide and how to measure your ring size.
Lab-grown diamonds in a wedding band
Twenty-one pieces here are lab diamond set. A lab-grown diamond is a diamond — the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical behaviour as a mined stone, formed under controlled conditions rather than geological ones.
For a wedding band specifically, the practical consequence is that stone-set designs become affordable at a level where they previously were not. A pavé or half-eternity band with lab-grown stones costs a fraction of the mined equivalent, which is why this collection is as stone-heavy as it is. See diamond vs lab diamond.
Why solid gold matters here more than anywhere
All twenty-five pieces are solid gold — 14k at 58.3% purity, with the entry tier hallmarked 9K in the UK and Europe and 10K in the US. The gold runs throughout.
For a ring worn every day for decades, this is not a specification but the entire point. A wedding band will pick up fine surface scratches within months. That is normal wear, not damage. Solid gold can be repolished back to new, repeatedly, over a lifetime. A surface-layer material cannot be restored once it has worn at a friction point, which is why no wedding ring here is vermeil. See why 14K solid gold.
Care and ordering
Have prongs and pavé checked every few years — a lost stone is almost always a setting that had loosened gradually. Keep gold away from chlorine, which attacks the alloy metals. A soft cloth restores shine; a jeweller's repolish restores the finish. See the care guide and how to care for gold jewelry.
Production is 4–6 business days before dispatch, longer for engraved rings. US orders ship from Connecticut with duties included; UK, EU, Canada and Australia orders from London. 365-day warranty. Engraved rings cannot be returned. See shipping and returns.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose full or half eternity?
Half eternity for a ring worn permanently. It looks identical from above and remains resizable, where a full eternity band cannot be resized because there is no plain metal to cut and rejoin. Most people's ring size changes over a lifetime.
What is the price range?
$225 to $1,342, all solid gold. Plain and lightly set bands sit at the lower end; eternity and multi-stone designs at the upper end.
Which setting survives daily wear best?
Channel, then bezel. Both hold stones flush with nothing standing proud and no prongs to catch or loosen. Pavé is more exposed, and prong settings most of all.
Why does my band need to be curved?
Only if your engagement ring has a raised setting. A straight band beside a raised stone leaves a gap, and the two rings rock against each other and wear down over years. A bezel or low-set engagement ring takes a straight band fine.
Does band width affect fit?
Yes, significantly. A wide band sits against more of the finger and fits more tightly at the same nominal size. If you are between sizes on a wide band, size up.
Are lab-grown diamonds real?
Yes — identical composition, structure, hardness and optical behaviour to mined diamonds. They are why stone-set wedding bands are affordable at this level.
Can a wedding band be resized later?
Plain and half-eternity bands are the most straightforward. Full eternity bands are the most constrained. Since everything is made to order, getting the size right up front matters most here.
My band has scratches after a few months. Is that normal?
Yes. A ring worn daily picks up fine surface scratches within months, and this is wear rather than damage. Solid gold can be repolished back to new, repeatedly, over a lifetime.
Can I have the band engraved?
Yes, and inside the band is the usual place. Note that engraved rings are made specifically for you and cannot be returned, so confirm both the wording and the size before ordering.
How far ahead of the wedding should I order?
At least three weeks. Production is 4–6 business days, shipping sits on top, and you want time in hand if a size turns out wrong.
