18k yellow gold
Wedding rings in gold: warm, classic, made to last
Yellow gold is the classic choice for wedding rings, and for good reason. Its warm tone barely changes over decades, suits most skin tones and never looks cold or flashy. At émin your rings are made in 18k gold, custom-fitted to your two hands, not pulled off a shelf.
Whether polished plain, brushed matte or set with a slim diamond line: gold carries every finish well, because the tone itself already feels warm and calm. We talk openly about which profile and width suit your hands and your everyday life before anything goes into work.
Why couples choose gold
Warm and timeless
18k yellow gold barely shifts in tone over the years. It flatters warm and cool skin tones alike and never reads cold or clinical.
Sturdy for daily wear
18-karat gold is hard enough for a ring worn every single day, without needing constant re-polishing to stay presentable.
No refinishing needed
Unlike white gold, yellow gold needs no rhodium layer. The tone you see on the day you receive it stays your tone, even after twenty years.
Profiles and widths
The profile shapes how a ring feels more than the width does. We show you both on your finger before you decide.
| Profile | Description | Typical width | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat | Flat outside, gently rounded inside, a crisp edge | 3 to 5 mm for her, 5 to 7 mm for him | Modern and quiet, edges read sharp |
| Court | Gently rounded on both sides, the most classic shape | 3 to 6 mm for her, 5 to 8 mm for him | Soft on the finger, forgives small changes in shape |
| D-shape | Rounded outside like a D in profile, flat inside | 4 to 7 mm for her, 6 to 8 mm for him | Bold from outside, still sits quietly inside |
Widths are guide values. The right width depends on finger size and shape, we measure that with you in the atelier or by video.
Finishes: polished, matte or hammered
Polished is the classic choice, bright and low-maintenance, small scratches barely show because the shine hides them. Matte reads quieter and more contemporary, shows scratches more honestly, but can always be re-polished later if you change your mind.
Hammered is the most personal finish: every small dent is set by hand, no two rings turn out exactly alike. We show you all three finishes on real samples, so you see in daylight what suits you, not just in a photo.
Engraving: included with wedding rings
For wedding rings, engraving is part of the ring for us, not an extra charge. Names, a date, a short line in English, German, Turkish, Albanian or any other language, hand-set or laser, the choice is yours.
We show you beforehand how the engraving sits inside the band and how much space letters need, so nothing gets cut off or shrinks too small at the end.
18k gold is an alloy of 75 percent fine gold and 25 percent other metals, which makes the ring hard enough for daily wear. Pure 24-karat gold would be too soft for a wedding ring, so nobody works with it for that.

Frequently asked questions
Plan at least six to eight weeks before the wedding, so there's time for advice, adjustments and a relaxed fitting. For a very custom setting or an elaborate engraving, allow a bit more lead time, though short notice is often still possible, just ask us.
Yes, a simple engraving inside the band is part of the wedding ring for us and is already included in the guide price. More elaborate engravings, like a longer line or a small symbol, we discuss together, usually without a large surcharge.
Yes, that is exactly what the fitting appointment after production is for, at the atelier, or we send the rings to you for a fitting if you live further away. If something doesn't sit perfectly, we resize the ring before the big day.
Yes, we do this often. Bring the old ring or piece of jewellery, we check the fineness and credit the material where possible. Your new wedding ring then carries a piece of your family history, even if the shape and size change.
Yes, that's no problem at all and happens more often than people think. One ring in yellow gold and one in white gold: as long as the width and profile relate to each other, the pair still looks intentional, we're happy to advise.
In most cases, yes. Ring size can usually be adjusted up or down, as long as the engraving and band shape allow it. Just stop by, we'll look at your ring and tell you honestly what's possible.
