18K Gold-Plated Wide Open Ring

Elegant wide band with an open (adjustable) design finished in 18K gold plating. The open style offers a comfortable, modern look and gentle adjustability for a better fit. Below are quick guides for measuring, materials, model details, care, and styling suggestions.

How to measure

There are three reliable ways to determine the right ring fit: measure your finger, measure an existing ring, or measure the product details (band width / opening). Follow the steps below and use the conversion table to find your size.

1. Measure your finger (recommended)
   1. Use a thin strip of paper or non-stretchy string. Wrap it around the base of the finger where you’ll wear the ring (and also try across the knuckle if that is the widest point).
   2. Mark where the paper/string overlaps, then lay it flat and measure the length in millimetres — this is the inside circumference of the ring.
   3. Compare the circumference to the chart below to find your size. Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm. If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size; if the ring is wide, go up half a size for comfort.
2. Measure an existing ring
   1. Place the ring on a flat surface and measure the inside diameter (straight across the center) in millimetres with a ruler or caliper.
   2. Use the diameter-to-size chart below to determine the corresponding ring size.
3. Measure the product (band and opening)

   To check fit and comfort for this open ring, note:

   • Band width: measure the band’s widest point (mm) — wide bands feel tighter than slim bands and can affect sizing.
   • Gap (opening) width: measure the distance between the open ends when ring is at rest — this indicates adjustability. Gently adjust the gap only a little; repeated forceful bending can damage plating or the base metal.

Notes: EU sizes are given as a rough equivalent (EU sizes correspond to the inside circumference in mm). An adjustable open ring can typically be nudged up or down slightly, but avoid forcing it beyond gentle adjustments.

Materials

18K gold-plated indicates a surface layer of 18-karat gold (75% gold content) has been applied over a base metal. Gold plating gives the warm gold appearance without the cost of solid gold, but the thin layer will gradually wear with time and use.

Common base metals used under plating include:

• Brass/copper alloy: affordable and easily plated — may tarnish if plating wears off.
• Stainless steel: durable and less likely to trigger skin reactions; a good base for long-lasting plating.
• Sterling silver (when used as a base / vermeil): vermeiil (thick gold over silver) lasts longer than standard plating and is a higher-quality option.

What this means for you:

• Plating will wear over time; areas that rub frequently (e.g., near knuckles or under the ring) may show wear first.
• People with very sensitive skin should confirm the base metal on the product page or opt for stainless-steel or vermeil pieces.
• Re‑plating by a jeweler can restore finish if needed.

Model details

Key features of the wide open ring model:

• Wide band profile for a bold, modern silhouette.
• Open-ended (gap) design provides modest adjustability and easy on/off.
• Comfort-fit interior and smooth edges for everyday wear.
• Suits both minimal and statement looks; works well on middle or index finger as a focal piece.

Sizing tip for this model: because the band is wide, you may want to select a slightly larger size than you would for a slim band. If you have large knuckles, measure both knuckle and base circumference and choose the size that lets the ring slide over the knuckle comfortably without being loose on the finger.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Keep dry — remove the ring before showering, swimming (chlorine & salt), bathing, or washing dishes.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray and household chemicals — apply products first, then put on jewelry.
• Wipe after wear — use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and sweat; this slows tarnish and wear.
• Cleaning: gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap when needed, rinse quickly and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing pastes on plated surfaces.
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners on plated jewelry — these can remove the plating.
• Storage: keep the ring in a soft pouch or separate compartment to avoid scratches. Low-humidity storage (with silica gel or anti-tarnish strip) helps longevity.
• Adjustment care: adjust the open gap gently and only a small amount. Repeated bending weakens the metal and can crack the plating.
• When plating shows wear: consider professional re-plating (re-gilding) if you want to restore the original finish.

Style Tips

• Wear it solo on the index or middle finger for a strong, minimalist statement.
• Stack with slim bands — pair with two or three thin rings (same gold tone or mixed metals) to balance the wide profile.
• Mix textures — a wide smooth open ring pairs beautifully with hammered or gemstone-accented bands.
• For evening looks, combine with other gold jewelry (necklace, hoop earrings) for a cohesive, polished set.
• Casual styling: pair with denim and layered necklaces for modern everyday wear.
• Nail color: neutral shades, deep burgundy or black provide a chic contrast to warm gold tones.
• Layering advice: if stacking on the same finger, place slimmer bands above and below the wide ring to frame it without overcrowding.
