Gold is the first metal to come to everyone’s mind when talking about wedding bands. This is because Gold has been in the market for many decades. Being the most versatile metal, its popularity is totally justified. As a metal, Gold is very soft and malleable. This is the main reason why there is such variety in Gold wedding bands. Jewelers mix Gold with Copper, Silver, Palladium, Platinum, and Nickel to give rise to gold karats and different colors. There are various gold carats, colors, designs and styles in Gold wedding bands.

The different types of Gold wedding bands based on karats are:

1. 18 karat Gold – 75% pure Gold by weight
2. 14 karat Gold – 58.3% pure Gold by weight
3. 10 karat Gold – 4.6% pure Gold by weight

Gold wedding bands can be made in the following colors:

1. White Gold
2. Rose Gold
3. Yellow Gold
