Black gold is an overlay process called rhodium. The rhodium is applied to your ring to give it a black look. As black gold looks beautiful and makes your white diamonds sparkle quite well, there are certain methods of care that you will need to take. You don’t want to excessively wash your hands, and it should not be exposed to any acids or chemical “household cleaners,” etc. If you take good care of the ring, it should always look great, just as new as the day it came out of the box. However, if you’re the kind of person that doesn’t like taking their ring off when washing their hands, then black gold might not be the best option for you. Any of our black gold rings can be made in any color gold at no extra charge. If you see a black gold ring on our site but don’t feel black gold would work for you, simply ask us to remove the black gold and we’ll bring it back to a white gold ring for you at no extra charge!
