Budget & Price

Solid gold at every budget — how gold jewellery is priced, and how to choose a piece you'll love without overspending.

How to get the most for your budget

The price of a solid gold piece reflects its carat (how much pure gold it contains), its weight, and any diamonds or gemstones. Two simple levers help your budget: choosing a lower carat (9ct or 14ct) or a slimmer profile. Because everything is made to order, you can often keep the design you love and adjust the carat to suit.
