Tresse Band Ring

18K gold over stainless steel. Steel is the hardest base metal Amaurine works in: a cuff keeps its round, a hinge stays true, and the piece sits lighter than the same shape in sterling. The price is the material, stated plainly. Every piece names its karat, its base metal and its finish in the same words as our published standards. Our guide to gold finishes in Australia sets the finishes side by side, so you can see where gold over steel sits.

Gold does not tarnish, and the steel beneath it holds its shape and does not rust. Water-safe: shower, gym and swim. Rinse after the pool or the sea. A soft dry cloth after wearing keeps the gold bright, and perfume and sunscreen still go on before the piece does. Every finish is covered by our 12-month craftsmanship warranty. The longer answer is in our article on gold over stainless steel jewellery.

The Tresse Band Ring is made in US sizes; choose yours beside the price. The size guide there converts each US size to its AU/UK letter and inside diameter in millimetres, and explains how to measure a ring that already fits. Between sizes, take the larger: fingers run bigger late in the day and in warm weather. Our ring size guide for Australia walks you through measuring at home and reading the result.

Water-safe: shower, gym and swim. Rinse after the pool or the sea. Then dry it with a soft cloth, and leave silver dips, polishing cloths and abrasive creams alone: they are made to strip a surface layer, which on this piece is the gold you want to keep. The full routine is on our care page.
