Statement ring, cocktail ring, dinner ring, right-hand ring, cluster ring, dress ring; is exactly what it sounds like, a ring that often enters a room before you do. 

It’s bold. It’s intentional. Energetic. And leads admirers to look a little closer. It’s often unlike anything else in your jewellery collection. A statement ring might feature an unusually cut sapphire in an unexpected hue, or a sculptural band that plays with negative space. It could be oversized, asymmetrical, intricately detailed, or quietly striking in its simplicity. What matters most is that it says something about your style, your story, your mood, or even your moment in time. 

Whether you’re drawn to one-of-a-kind pieces with rare gemstones, or bespoke designs that don’t follow tradition, these rings are designed to stand out and be worn with confidence. 

Great question, because the best gold ring to buy depends on you. 

At Black Finch, we craft our rings in both 9ct and 18ct gold, each with its own strengths. If you’re after a ring that can handle a little more from day to day, say, frequent handwashing or hands-on work, 9ct gold is wonderfully durable. It’s made with a higher mix of alloy metals, giving it extra strength and resilience, making it a smart choice for everyday wear or active lifestyles. 

18ct gold, on the other hand, has a higher gold content, so it's richer in tone and slightly softer in composition. It’s perfect for those who want a luxurious, classic feel and are a little gentler with their jewellery day to day. It’s also the most traditional choice for engagement rings and fine heirloom pieces. 

So, whether you want a statement ring to wear daily or a bespoke engagement ring to treasure forever, the best gold ring is one that aligns with how you live and what you love.

There’s tradition, and then there’s intuition. While some cultures believe wearing a gold ring on the ring finger of the right- or left-hand invites prosperity or balances energy, at Black Finch we take a more personal approach. The “lucky” finger is the one that feels right to you.

Your hands tell your story. Maybe it’s a pinkie signet that feels like quiet power. A statement sapphire on your middle finger. Or a gold band stacked on your index as a daily ritual. There are no strict rules here, only the beauty of choosing with intention. 

Each Black Finch ring is a talisman of self-expression. Where you wear it? That’s up to you, and that’s where the magic happens. 

Yes, it's best to take your ring off when you shower. 

Soap, shampoo, and conditioner can leave a residue that dulls the sparkle of gemstones ad diamonds in rings and creates buildup around settings. Over time, this can make your ring look less radiant and be harder to clean. Water alone won’t usually damage gold, most sapphires or diamonds, but slippery fingers and hard surfaces make the shower a risky place for your treasured piece. 

At Black Finch, we craft our rings to be lived in, but we also believe in caring for what you love. Removing your ring before showering is a small habit that helps preserve its beauty and brilliance, so it keeps shining for years to come.
