18K Gold-Plated Irregular Open Ring

How to measure

Use one of the methods below to find the best fit for this open, adjustable ring.

1. Measure an existing ring: pick a ring that fits the same finger, place it flat and measure the inside diameter across the widest point (in millimetres).
2. Measure your finger with paper or string: wrap a thin strip of paper or string snugly around the base of the finger, mark the overlap, then measure that length in mm — that is the circumference. Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm. Also measure your knuckle if it is larger than the base of the finger.
3. Compare to the conversion table below. If you are between sizes, consider the band width and whether you want a snug or slightly loose fit. The open design gives a small amount of adjustability (gentle micro-adjustments only).
4. Adjustment caution: bend or squeeze the ring gently and only a little. Repeated strong bending can weaken the metal.

Materials & construction

This piece is described as 18K gold-plated. That means a surface layer of 18‑karat gold has been applied to a core base metal rather than the piece being solid 18K gold.

• Common base metals: brass, copper, stainless steel or sterling silver. The exact base metal used affects weight, durability and reaction for sensitive skin.
• Plating details: fashion gold plating is usually a thin layer (fractions of a micron to a few microns). Terms you may see: "vermeil" (thicker gold plating over sterling silver) and "gold‑filled" (mechanically bonded thicker gold layer) — these are generally more durable than standard plating.
• Skin sensitivity: if you have metal allergies (nickel, etc.), look for a nickel‑free statement or choose sterling silver/gold‑filled options. If unsure, check the product specifications or ask the seller for the exact base metal and plating process.
• Design note: the ring's irregular open shape gives a sculptural profile and allows slight size adjustment for comfort and styling.

Model & fit

The photos are intended for styling and scale. Open rings like this usually allow micro-adjustment (roughly half a size to one size of play). Recommended fit advice:

• If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, measure both and choose the size that will slide over the knuckle yet sit comfortably at the base.
• For narrow bands choose your usual size; for wider bands consider sizing up a half size for comfort.
• A gentle squeeze or slight opening can tune the fit; avoid repeated, forceful bending to prevent metal fatigue.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Remove before showering, swimming (chlorine and salt), exercising heavily, or applying lotions, perfumes and cosmetics — these accelerate plating wear.
• Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and rubbing against other pieces.
• Clean gently with a soft, dry microfiber or jewelry polishing cloth. If needed, use lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild soap, rinse quickly and dry thoroughly.
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning and harsh chemical dips, which can remove plating and damage the base metal.
• When plating shows wear, a professional re-plating service can restore the finish. Limit repeated bending or heavy impact to prolong structural life.

Style tips

• Stack it with thin plain bands or textured rings for an intentionally layered look.
• Mix metals — combine with rose gold or silver pieces for a modern, mixed-metal aesthetic.
• Try it as a midi ring (above the knuckle) for a trendy placement, or as a statement on the index or middle finger for more presence.
• Keep other jewelry delicate (fine chains, small hoops) if you want the irregular shape to be the focal point.
• Pair with neutral knitwear or monochrome outfits for everyday wear; contrast against darker evening looks to make the gold finish stand out.
