Rings

At Michael Hill, our Gold Standard means that our jewellery is crafted with quality, precious metals including sterling silver and gold. Our gold jewellery is always 10ct gold or higher. Gold rings are durable and the most popular choice for jewellery meant to last a lifetime, such as engagement rings and wedding rings. White gold rings are often plated with rhodium - a naturally shiny, silver-white and corrosion-resistant metal - to enhance their white colour, and over the years re-plating may be required to keep your ring shining as beautifully as the day you bought it. For men, we also offer tungsten and titanium rings, both of which are extremely hard and durable metals, and perfect for everyday wear if you work with your hands. We recommend you bring your precious jewellery to Michael Hill for regular complimentary cleaning, to keep it shining.

Yes, you can definitely mix and match ring metals! This approach to jewellery has become increasingly popular as it allows for greater personal expression and creativity in accessorizing. Mixing metals can add depth, contrast, and interest to your look, making it uniquely yours.

When mixing metals in ring stacks, do so with intention. Layering different metals can add texture and visual interest. Consider varying the thickness and style of the rings for added dimension. Mixing chunky and delicate pieces can create an eye-catching display.

If you're hesitant about mixing metals, start with pieces that already combine different metals. Many rings and other pieces of jewellery are designed with two or more metal types, offering a cohesive way to introduce mixed metals into your look like wearing a white and rose gold ring.

Ultimately, the most important factor is your personal preference and style. Mixing metals should reflect your personality and how you like to express yourself through jewellery.

Mixing and matching ring metals is a fun and fashionable way to showcase your individual style and to make a statement with your jewellery. There are no strict rules, so feel free to experiment with different combinations to find what looks and feels best to you.

When selecting your sterling silver or gold ring, remember that sizes vary between fingers and hands. With this in mind, it’s important to consider which finger you’re buying your ring for when purchasing.
