White Gold Men's Rings

White gold was developed in the early 20th century as an alternative to platinum, which was extremely expensive at the time. It quickly became established in men's jewellery for its understated, modern appearance. At Mayuri, our men's white gold rings use an 18k palladium alloy that preserves this timeless elegance without requiring regular rhodium plating, unlike traditional alloys.

Blue sapphire forms a classic, masculine pairing with white gold, offering an elegant, deep contrast. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire stands up perfectly to daily wear. Mayuri sapphires are sourced primarily from Thailand, selected for their intense colour and purity. We can also source sapphires from Ceylon or Australia upon request for bespoke commissions.

A men's white gold ring is best worn on the ring finger or middle finger to express personal style without ostentation. It pairs harmoniously with a steel or white gold cased watch, creating a refined chromatic balance. For a contemporary look, you can stack several slim white gold bands, or opt for a single statement piece set with a precious stone.

A signet ring is a substantial, emblematic ring traditionally worn by men, characterised by a broad plateau allowing for the engraving of coats of arms or initials. In 18k white gold, it takes on a sober, elegant modernity while retaining its heritage character. Mayuri offers bespoke signet rings with engraving and the option to set a precious stone on the plateau.

A white diamond on white gold creates a refined monochrome harmony, ideal for a classic, luminous style. A black diamond offers a contemporary, assertive contrast, perfect for a more rock or avant-garde aesthetic. Both options guarantee maximum hardness (10/10 on the Mohs scale) for uncompromising daily wear. Mayuri offers both variations in its Mars collection dedicated to men.

Palladium white gold retains its white colour naturally thanks to the alloy with palladium, a noble metal from the platinum family. Unlike rhodium-plated white gold which requires re-plating every 2-3 years, Mayuri palladium white gold never yellows and requires no specific maintenance. This composition ensures exceptional durability and a lasting investment for a men's ring worn daily.

For a men's engagement, choose a solitaire ring with a diamond, sapphire or ruby set on an 18k white gold band. The design can be classic with a four-prong setting, or more contemporary with a bezel or tension setting. Mayuri creates customisable men's engagement rings with choice of stone, interior engraving and perfect size adjustment, from 52 to 70.

Emerald brings a distinctive, bold touch of colour to a men's white gold ring, creating a sophisticated contrast between deep green and luminous white. This stone, rated 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale, suits daily wear with some care. Mayuri emeralds are sourced from Zambia and selected for their intense AAA colour. We can source Colombian emeralds upon request for exclusive creations.

Current trends favour several aesthetics:

• Minimalist: slim or medium band with no ornamentation, clean lines
• Geometric: angular forms, architectural facets
• Subtle pavé: micro black or white diamonds on one-third of the band
• Matte texture: brushed finish for a modern, understated look

Mayuri offers these different styles in its Mars collection, fully customisable.

Mayuri excels in bespoke creation of men's 18k palladium white gold rings. You can choose the band width, setting type, precious stone (ruby, sapphire, emerald, diamond), finish (polished, matte, brushed) and add personalised engraving. Our artisans work in ethical workshops to create your unique piece, with sizes available from 52 to 70 and beyond upon request.

A bangle is characterised by a wide, continuous band, typically 6 to 12mm, offering a strong presence on the finger. A classic ring often features a slimmer band (2-5mm) with a bezel or stone as a focal point. In 18k white gold, a bangle suits men seeking a pared-back, masculine style, while a classic ring allows for greater personalisation with precious stones and engraving.

Ruby, the stone of kings, symbolises courage, passion and vitality, values historically associated with masculinity. Set on white gold, its intense red creates a powerful, elegant contrast. With a hardness of 9/10, ruby resists daily wear perfectly. Mayuri rubies are sourced from Thailand and selected for their 'pigeon blood' colour and exceptional transparency.
