18ct Yellow Gold Wedding Bands

18ct yellow gold is the classic choice for a wedding band — warm in tone, more resistant to scratching than 9ct gold, and traditionally the colour most associated with marriage in the UK. Every band on this page is bespoke made in our Hatton Garden, London workshops and hallmarked 750, confirming 75% pure gold content.

Profiles and styles

Choose from court and flat court profiles from 2mm up to 8mm wide, with rounded, flat, bevelled, or milgrain edges, plus satin and hammered finishes for a less formal look. Pinched designs like the Ariana add a subtle twist to a plain band, while our diamond-set styles range from a single rubover diamond to full round-brilliant eternity settings. Both men’s and women’s 18ct yellow gold bands are available across the same width and finish range, so couples can order matching or contrasting rings.

Pricing and process

Bands start from £528 for a slim 2mm court design and run up to around £4,000 for wider signature profiles or diamond-set styles. Every ring can be adjusted for width and finish, with complimentary engraving and free lifetime resizing included as standard.

18ct vs 9ct gold

18ct gold contains 75% pure gold against 37.5% in 9ct, giving it a richer colour and better resistance to tarnishing, though it’s softer and roughly double the cost by weight of 9ct for the same design. If your engagement ring is 18ct yellow gold, matching the wedding band keeps the colour consistent across both rings.
