Gold Ring Price

How much should I pay for a gold ring? What is a good price for a gold ring? These are common queries that are received by the Kaisilver support team - every single day. The price of gold would obviously be one indicator of how much you end up paying for a gold ring but, there are many other features of the ring that will influence the price. If you plan to buy a gold ring and are wondering how much to pay for it, try understanding your requirements and then browse through various options. Mass produced gold rings would use mechanized modes of production, this would obviously lower the cost. These will be rings that lack the finesse of rings finely handcrafted by Kaisilver. If you are looking for a gold ring that looks good and is crafted to be long lasting, a custom jewel is your best option. High end ring would involve craftsmen fees, this because they do not rely on mass production methods. Each gold ring is handcrafted by extremely talented and skilled artisans and gem cutters. You pay for the premium quality and this is one component of the price tag of the ring.

The other components  that would decide how much you pay for a gold ring, would depend on the gold alloy 'k' value, the gold weight of the ring. Most gold rings are designed to accommodate gemstones and/or diamonds  - these embellishments will also add  up on the price. We will continue this discussion on the lower part of this web page. 

Gold Price And Ring Weight: Gold is a precious metal, it is rare and expensive. The price of a 10k, 14k or 18k gold ring would obviously be influenced by the gold content in the jewel. While it is true that there is an optimal ring weight required, this to ensure durability of the jewel - this optimum weight would depend on the ring design (dimension) and ring size. This is one of the first reasons why, estimating the price of a gold ring would require additional information. Even with the design and gem information of a gold ring being specified, it is possible to two gold rings with externally similar looks to have significantly different gold weights. As a classic example Kaisilver experts have consistently maintained that, our rings generally weigh around 40% to 50% more than, what other jewelers provide. This is to ensure long term durability, we custom make each jewel specifically for our clients and have no need save gold content and please a mass market. Besides the weight of the gold, the 'karat' value of the gold would also relate to the price of the metal in a gold ring. 18k gold is much more expensive, as compared to 14k gold and 10k gold is priced lower than 14k gold. 

Gemstone / Diamond Cost: The cost element of diamonds and or gemstones, in a gold ring would depend on the gems selected, the size and weight and quite obviously the grade (quality) of the gems. Gemstone prices can vary widely even when, shape, size and weight of the gems are identical. For example a blue topaz gem could be priced at around $ 40 per carat in retail and on the other hand, blue sapphire could cost upwards of $500 and right up to $3,000 per carat. The same thing is true of diamonds though, the price logistics in this case are even more severe. Diamond prices for pieces of the same size, shape, color, clarity and weight could vary by as much as 500 fold. Few jewelers are willing to actually work with clients and make them understand pricing structures. The fact is that, you can get a gold ring that delivers the same visual impact at a moderated price. This by understanding gemstones and opening up to options. When it comes to diamond gold rings, it is important to have diamonds that are natural and look glittering and good to the naked eye. Higher quality diamonds that can be differentiated, only by using specialized magnifying devices are probably not required in most cases. These are issues that you can always discuss with the team of Kaisilver experts even if, you plan to buy nothing from us. We are always happy to guide you in making a well informed buying decision. 

Workmanship: To understand how craftsmanship can influence the price of a gold ring, we need to differentiate between mass production of finely handcrafted single piece jewels. Mass produced jewels are manufactured using machines, workers are trained to handle production equipment. The idea is on getting economies of scale by mass producing jewels. Kaisilver on the other hand, uses the services of some of the industry's finest jewelry artisans and gem cutters. Each piece is given meticulous attention, with no compromise made on even the smallest detail. This production process is cost centric but, there really is no other way to craft a quality gold ring. So the price of a gold ring would depend on the type of production that is used to craft the piece. 

What Is 10k, 14k, 18k Gold: You would have surely heard of terms like 10k gold ring, 14k ring, 18k gold ring etc - you might also come across jewelers who tell you that an 18k gold ring is the best option. Let's take of the mystery that surrounds this gold 'k' talk. We need to talk about this because the 'k' value that you choose, would play a part in defining the price of your gold ring. Pure gold just as it is refined from the ore cannot be used to draft durable gold rings. When it comes to crafting a gold ring or any other gold jewel, pure gold that is mixed with a few other metals is used. The metals added to pure gold, can also impart a color to the metal - we will come to that in the next paragraph. So when you add metals to pure gold to form an alloy, you would need a standard to define just how much of pure gold is retained in the alloy. It is this percentage of gold that affects the price of a gold ring, the proportion of the other metals influence the hardness (durability) of the metal. A very simple rule to remember, the higher the 'k' number of the gold alloy, the higher the price. But the lower the gold content in the alloy, the harder the metal and the lower the price. A quick summary of gold content in the 3 gold alloy numbers. A 10k gold ring would have around 42% of gold, the same ring if crafted as a 14k gold ring would have 58% gold and finally an 18k gold ring would have 75% gold content. It will now be clear why an 18k gold ring would be more expensive, than a similar ring crafted in 14k or 10k gold. So what is the best option for Gold 'k' when you order a gold ring. We would say that 14k gold rings carry the best equation between, metal hardness and gold content. The choice is yours and our team of experts, would be glad to guide you on that or any other issue.  

What Is Yellow, White, Pink Gold: We will run through this issue fairly quickly mainly because, the color of the gold chosen for a gold ring should not influence the price of the ring. Read this in conjunction with the above paragraph - the price of a yellow, white or rose (pink) gold ring, would depend on the gold 'k' value and not on the color of the gold alloy. This means that within 10k gold the cost would remain the same across,  different gold colors. The same rule would apply when it comes to the price  of 18k or 14k gold rings. 

Customizing Price: One very important advantage of going for a custom made gold ring is that, it could be possible to customize the price of the ring based on your budget. This is why there is no simple explanation to the question about - what is the price of a gold ring. If you like the design of a specific gold ring but, found it to be beyond your budget - we encourage you to discuss your requirements with our team of experts. It could be possible to alter the dimensions of the ring or even, change the gemstone to a more affordable option a similar thing could be done with the diamonds (if any) in the ring. We did mention earlier that even a change of the gold alloy from 18k to 14k or even 10k, would bring down the price of a gold ring. Let us spend a few moments saying something about gems and color. As an example let us talk about a blue gemstone gold ring with diamonds. Many jewelry buyers presume that, blue sapphire is the only natural blue gem. While blue sapphire happens to generally be the most expensive blue gem, there are a range of gems that are found in various shades of blue. You have 3 gorgeous shades of blue in topaz - the deep london blue topaz looks far more expensive than its price would suggest. You also have iolite and tanzanite and the latter can often match the color tone of the most expensive blue sapphires. The same logic applies to other gem colors like green, pink and red. So remember that, the price of a gold ring can be customized by picking the right gem for your budget. The fact that we at Kaisilver,  place no restriction on design, dimensions or gemstones and metal (gold or 925 silver) - means that we offer the best option for you to get your dream ring at a price, that is as close as possible to the budget allocated by you.
