BLACK GOLD RINGS
Discover our black gold rings for an original and elegant style
When choosing a piece of jewelry, the color of the metal is a major element to take into consideration. White gold, rose gold, and yellow gold are generally the three most common colors. However, in recent years, rings with more original designs have appeared, notably black gold rings, a metal still discreet in jewelry. Because love is priceless, discover our black gold rings, original and elegant creations.
Black gold rings: a high jewelry trend
Still not widely democratized in the world of jewelry, black gold is mainly used in more original and fanciful creations such as those found in high jewelry. Indeed, in high jewelry, it is easier to allow for creative follies. For both men and women, this black gold jewel will sublimate your hand.
Breaking away from the ordinary, black gold brings a more rock and daring side to creations. This is the case with 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 black gold metal, a quality rhodium.
Black gold jewelry
Black gold jewelry is still quite rare but is gradually becoming more popular. Original and daring, these pieces push the traditional boundaries of jewelry and offer a rock-chic and assertive style.
Like black diamonds, this jewelry is often more appreciated by men for the dark aesthetic of these creations. However, black gold jewelry, especially rings, is not suitable for daily wear as it can be difficult to match. Also, their rhodium plating can easily fade.
The price of black gold jewelry is no higher than that of white gold or rose gold jewelry. Therefore, a black gold ring is an ideal creation for oneself or as a gift.
Gold blackening technique
Though little known in the world of jewelry, black gold, like white gold, is 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 gray gold base. Following the creation of this metal base, the rhodium plating technique is used to give the gold a black color. This process involves depositing a thin layer of black rhodium onto the pre-polished alloy using a liquid metal bath.
Our collection of blackened gold jewelry
Maison Lorenz Bäumer offers many creations in black gold, a noble metal that is still rare and not widely democratized in jewelry. The main black gold jewels are high jewelry creations: Black Magic, Metamorphosis Velvet, A la folie Velvet, Good Girl - Bad Girl, etc.
Lorenz Bäumer excels in the art of pushing the traditional codes of jewelry by offering new techniques and creations (olfactory material, meteorite, etc.). Thus, he enjoys revisiting his iconic collections by offering a "dark" version of the floral and colorful creations A la Folie or Metamorphosis. He also likes to create beauty in a rock, feminine and daring collection: Good Girl - Bad Girl.
Black gold is generally a metal much appreciated and worn by men, but our House invites you to discover dark and feminine creations. Rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other jewels are reinterpreted in darker but equally joyful colors, for an even more exceptional effect.
You can also create a ring, a wedding band or another jewel of your dreams by imagining it custom-made. Customization allows you to create a unique and high-quality jewel that you will not find anywhere else and according to your desires. For example, for your wedding, you can dare to shake up the traditional white gold engagement ring set with a diamond by making it a black gold ring set with a white diamond or another stone. The same applies to your wedding bands, or for any other creation; create them according to your desires with quality materials.
In Paris, in our boutique at 19 Place Vendôme, create the black gold wedding band or ring of your desires alongside Lorenz Bäumer. Marriage and engagements are celebrations dear to our House. Whether you are a woman or a man, tell a story with a diamond, a sapphire or a stone chosen beforehand, of the size and carat weight you desire, to create the jewel that seals your eternal love and union.
The different finishes for blackened gold jewelry
Black gold jewelry is jewelry with character that easily matches a dressy outfit. Within our collections, fantasies are invited into our creations: precious stones (sapphire, ruby, emerald or diamond), but tanzanites, tourmalines, peridots, spinels and other stones are found in these audacious creations.
Black gold allows the precious and fine stones set on the creations to stand out brilliantly. Finally, white diamond pavings add a touch of brilliance to the jewelry and are delicately placed on the creations.
Black gold pairs perfectly with diamonds, but also with stones of strong and intense colors. Blue and green stones will be majestically highlighted with black gold. However, red and pink colored stones should be avoided.
In Paris, with the use of revolutionary technologies in our workshop, we are able to unveil the wedding band, ring, or jewelry of your dreams for your wedding or any other occasion.
**Black Gold: Maintenance Tips**
As previously explained, 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 wish to restore the jewelry to its original state.
The rhodium plating on the surface of your ring or wedding bands can tarnish over time. This is why it may sometimes be necessary to visit a store or a jewelry professional for a thorough cleaning of your metal and the set stones.
Regarding maintenance, we advise you, as with other jewelry (rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants) made of rose gold, white gold, platinum, or black gold, to clean them in lukewarm water with soap or dish soap. Remember to dry them well and also to clean the stones with a small cloth specially designed for this purpose.
Like most rhodium-plated metals, black gold is a metal that develops a patina over time. Indeed, due to friction, impacts, and daily life events, the rhodium layer on black gold may fade. This wear and tear phenomenon is completely normal. Therefore, pay particular attention to your black gold rings by avoiding wearing them daily, which will make them last longer.
The stones, like the surface of your ring, should be cleaned sparingly so that your jewelry can return to its original state.
