The two lines of beading on the edges, called milgrain, aren't just for show. They create a defined border that makes the high-polish centre really stand out. It’s a traditional detail that catches light differently than the rest of the ring.

This is an 8mm wide band with a classic domed profile. The centre is high-polish yellow gold, smooth and curved to catch light in a single, unbroken line. It's framed on both sides by a raised, beaded edge. The inside of the band is also slightly curved, a comfort fit, so it sits smoothly on the finger.

We make this ring from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength. Pure 24k gold is actually too soft for a ring you'll wear every day. This blend gives you the rich colour of gold, but it's hard enough to resist most dents and scratches. The milgrain detailing is cut directly into the gold, not applied, which means it won't wear off over time. It’s a solid piece, built for a lifetime.

People choose this band when they want something with more presence than a standard 4mm or 6mm ring, but don't want anything too decorative. The 8mm width feels solid and substantial on the hand, and the milgrain edge gives it a finished, classic look without being flashy.
