Can you wear a gold ring all the time?
Gold is a durable material that can be worn during most activities. However, the karat weight impacts its overall strength. Higher karat gold, such as 18 or 24, is generally softer and might be more easily scratched or bent.
How do I wear stacked rings?
Stacking rings together is an easy way to add personality to your outfits. You might choose to wear several fine rings spread across your hands or use statement pieces to define your look.
Embrace mixed metals or coloured gemstones across different fingers to prevent harder metals from damaging or scratching softer pieces.
