choosing your size & gold

ring size

Sizing for a ring can be tricky as fingers can change size a bit depending on the time of day, or even with the weather! Your ring should fit snugly over the knuckle and comfortably on the finger, and shouldn’t slip off too easily. Before ordering your ring, ensure you know your size - if local to Dundee, please contact Holly who will be happy to arrange an appointment to measure you. If you’re ordering from further away, any local jewellers should be happy to check this for you.

gold carat and colour

Holly’s work is available in 9ct or 18ct, yellow or white recycled gold. White gold jewellery is often rhodium plated - this gives the piece a bright white, platinum like look - and this requires re-plating every few years, as it wears. The soft colour of white gold is beautiful in its natural state, so jewellery pieces ordered from the online shop are proudly unplated (unless otherwise requested).

18ct yellow gold is a rich and bright yellow, whereas 9ct yellow gold is a paler yellow. 9ct white gold has a silvery look with a beautiful warm tint to it, and 18ct white gold has a deeper grey tone with a luxurious warmth.

The image on this page shows (from top to bottom) a ring in 18ct white gold, 9ct yellow gold, and 18ct yellow gold. Please note different monitors may show colours slightly differently - what you see on screen may not be representative of the gold colour in real life.
