9ct Gold Rings

9ct gold is genuine gold containing 37.5% pure gold, with the remaining metal made up of other alloys. You may also see 9ct gold marked as 375, which represents 375 parts of gold per 1,000 parts of metal.

Yes. 9ct gold is genuine gold, not gold plating. It contains 37.5% pure gold and is a recognised gold fineness standard. Our 9ct gold jewellery is selected as genuine precious-metal jewellery and our gold pieces are hallmarked as applicable.

The number 375 means that the metal contains 375 parts pure gold per 1,000 parts, which is 37.5% gold. It is the fineness mark associated with 9ct gold.

9ct gold is a popular choice for everyday jewellery because the gold alloy is well suited to regular wear. As with all jewellery, taking care of your pieces and avoiding unnecessary contact with harsh chemicals can help keep them looking their best.

9ct gold is resistant to tarnishing, but jewellery can lose some of its shine through everyday wear and exposure to products such as perfume, cosmetics, cleaning products and chlorine. Regular gentle cleaning and proper storage can help maintain its appearance.

Keep your 9ct gold jewellery away from harsh chemicals and chlorine where possible. Wipe it gently with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing and store pieces separately in a jewellery box or pouch to help prevent scratching and tangling.

Precious-metal articles sold in Ireland are subject to compulsory assaying and hallmarking, with no exemption by weight. The Irish hallmark includes the maker or sponsor mark, the Dublin Assay Office mark and the metal and fineness mark. Our 9ct gold jewellery is hallmarked at the Assay Office in Dublin Castle as stated on the relevant product listing.

9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold, while 18ct gold contains 75% pure gold. Because 9ct gold contains a greater proportion of alloy metals, it is commonly chosen for jewellery that is intended for regular wear, while 18ct gold has a higher gold content and a richer gold colour.
