Men's Rose Gold Wedding Rings

The colour in rose gold comes from copper alloyed through the gold, and that copper runs right through the metal rather than sitting on the surface. There is no coating to wear through, which is why the colour cannot fade or rub off with wear.

The copper does something else useful. It makes rose gold harder than yellow gold of the same karat, which matters if you work with your hands or knock your ring without thinking about it. The difference is small but real, and is the opposite of what most people assume about a metal that looks soft.

Karat works against expectation too. Lower karat means less gold and proportionally more copper, so 9kt rose gold is the deepest and reddest. 18kt holds more gold, which pulls the colour back towards a warm blush, and 14kt sits between them. Want the rose obvious? Go 9kt. Want the band to read as gold first and pink second? Go 18kt.

Rose gold also sits comfortably beside warm and cool metals, so a rose gold band still works if your partner's ring is white gold or platinum. We make the same designs in white gold and yellow gold, and in platinum too, with Platinum 600 on selected men's designs.

Most of the rose gold range is brushed rather than polished, and the detail sits in the edges and the centre lines. Max is the plainest of them, a flat profile with bevelled edges. Charlie runs polished grooves through a brushed band. Domed profiles and hand-carved line detail are in the range too.

Widths are quoted rather than fixed. Each design is pictured and priced at one width, 7mm in Max's case, and the same design can be cut narrower or wider.

If rose gold on its own reads too soft, contrast is the usual fix. Xander sets rose gold against black zirconium. Hudson runs a polished rose gold stripe over a dark grey brushed band, and there are black carbon pairings too. Diamond-set rose gold bands are available with a single stone, and there is more of it in our diamond-set wedding bands.

If nothing in the grid is quite it, we make custom wedding rings from scratch. The wider men's wedding rings range covers the other metals.

Our studio is at 148 King William Road, Hyde Park, and your band is cut there once you order it. Custom pieces take 4 to 6 weeks, and how our custom design process works sets out what happens during that process. Ready-to-ship designs from the Shop take 2 to 4 weeks.

Sizing is worth settling before we cut metal. Come in for a sizing consultation, or ask us to post you a complimentary ring sizer. If you would rather not do either, our guide on how to find your ring size covers measuring at home. Engraving is complimentary, laser cut inside the band up to 20 characters.

Every engagement and wedding ring carries a limited lifetime warranty from the date of completion, with complimentary servicing covering inspection, cleaning, polishing and stone tightening.

The studio is by appointment only, so book before you visit our Hyde Park studio. Virtual appointments are available if you cannot get to Adelaide. Interstate orders ship tracked across Australia, including to PO boxes, and arrive 3 to 5 business days after dispatch. Returns for a full refund or exchange are open for 30 days in original condition, with a pre-paid return envelope supplied.

Four things determine the final price of a rose gold band. Karat comes first, since 18kt holds twice the gold of 9kt. Width is next, because a wider band simply takes more metal. Diamond setting is third, whether that is a single pressure-set stone or a fully set band like our eternity rings. Two-tone and inlay work is fourth, driven by labour rather than material.

Rose gold and yellow gold price much the same at the same karat and width. Karat sets the gold content, and the colour of the alloy does not change what that gold costs.

If you're adding a diamond, lab-grown diamond wedding rings run up to around 30% below the mined equivalent, IGI or GIA graded either way. Afterpay is available on purchases up to $2,000, which covers some bands here and not the more involved ones.

A studio or virtual appointment lets you compare different widths and karats before you decide. If you already know what you want, order from the grid above and we will ship it tracked anywhere in Australia.
