Black gold rings
Discover our black gold rings for an original and elegant style
When choosing jewelry, metal color is a key factor to consider. White gold, rose gold, and yellow gold are generally the three most common colors. However, in recent years, rings with more unique designs have emerged, including rings made of black gold, a metal that is still relatively unsung in jewelry. Because love is priceless, discover our black gold rings, original and elegant creations.
Black gold rings: a trend in fine jewelry
A metal that is still not very popular in the world of jewelry, black gold is mainly used in more original and fanciful creations such as those found in fine jewelry. Indeed, in fine jewelry, it is easier to allow yourself creative follies. For men as well as for women, this black gold jewel will enhance your hand. Out of the ordinary, black gold brings a more rock and bold side to creations. This is the case of our Black Magic collection which plays on the textures and volumes of blacks. This collection is inspired by artists like Soulages or Hartung and reveals the electric side of stones by playing on their textures and volumes. In Paris, Lorenz Bäumer likes to shake up the traditional codes of jewelry by offering creations for women or men with a black gold metal, a quality rhodium.
Black gold jewelry
Black gold jewelry is still a fairly rare creation, but it is gradually becoming more popular. Original, this bold jewelry pushes the traditional boundaries of jewelry and gives a rock and bold style. Like black diamonds, this jewelry is often more appreciated by men for the dark side of these creations. However, black gold jewelry, especially rings, should not be worn daily because they can be difficult to match. But also, because their rhodium plating can easily fade. The price of black gold jewelry is not higher than that of white gold or rose gold jewelry. Thus, a black gold ring is an ideal creation for yourself or as a gift.
The technique of blackening gold
Ultimately little known in the world of jewelry, black gold is, like white gold, a rhodium-plated gold. Rhodium plating consists of covering gold with a thin layer of metal to give it its black color. During the process, the metal is transformed with the addition of silver and copper to create a white gold base. Following this metal base obtained, the rhodium plating technique is used to give the gold a black color. This process consists of depositing a thin layer of black rhodium on the previously polished alloy, using a bath of liquid metal.

The main black gold jewels are high jewelry creations: Black Magic, Métamorphose Velvet, A la folie Velvet, Good Girl – Bad Girl etc. Lorenz Bäumer excels in the art of pushing back the traditional codes of jewelry by proposing new techniques and creations (olfactory material, meteorite, etc.).

He also likes to create Beauty in a rock, feminine and daring collection: Good Girl – Bad Girl.

Black gold: care tips
As explained previously, black gold is gold with a thin layer of rhodium plating. Just like white gold, it is a metal with character that requires special care if you want to restore the jewelry to its original condition. The rhodium plating on the surface of your ring or wedding rings can deteriorate over time. This is why it may sometimes be necessary to go to a store or a jewelry professional to carry out a thorough maintenance of your metal and the stones that are set in it. Regarding maintenance, we advise you, as with other jewelry (rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants) in rose gold, white gold, platinum or black gold, to clean them in lukewarm water with soap or dish soap. Remember to dry them well but also to clean the stones with a small cloth specially designed for this purpose. Like most metals with rhodium plating, black gold is a metal that develops a patina over time. Indeed, due to friction, shocks and everyday events, the rhodium layer on black gold may fade. This wear phenomenon is completely normal. Therefore, pay special attention to your black gold rings by avoiding wearing them daily, which will make them last over time. The stones, like the surface of your ring, must be cleaned sparingly to restore your jewelry to its original condition.
