Why We Choose 18K Gold for Our Rings?

At Unicorn Diamond International Malaysia, every ring begins with a story, your story. From the first design sketch to the final polish, we craft each piece with intention, care, and meaning. The choice of metal is at the heart of that process, and for us, 18K gold is always the answer. It represents the perfect harmony between elegance, durability, and timeless value.

In this article, we will demystify the various gold standards and why 18K is the perfect standard for your bespoke jewellery.

The Beauty of 18K Gold Rings

Pure gold, or 24K, is beautiful but soft, making it unsuitable for daily wear. To enhance its strength and structure, gold is mixed with metals like silver, copper, and palladium, creating an alloy. In 18K gold, 75 percent is pure gold, while 25 percent is alloy metals. This combination gives the metal its signature warm glow and long-lasting durability, ideal for fine jewellery that you can wear every day.

Why 18K Gold Is the Perfect Balance

When comparing different types of gold, 18K stands out as the ideal middle ground between beauty and resilience. Below is a breakdown comparison between the various grades and their respective traits.

Comparison	14K Gold	18K Gold	24K Gold
Gold Content	58.5%	75%	99.9%
Durability	Very Hard	Strong & Balanced	Soft
Colour	Pale Yellow	Rich & Warm	Deep Yellow
Purpose	Everyday Jewellery	Fine Rings & Heirlooms	Collectibles

At Unicorn Diamond, we believe 18K gold offers the best of both worlds. It maintains the brilliance of high-purity gold while providing the durability needed for daily wear.

Designed for Strength and Beauty

“Luxury isn’t just about how it shines, it’s about how long it lasts.” - Hong Wid, Founder, Unicorn Diamond International

We choose 18K gold because it allows us to bring intricate designs to life while ensuring each piece remains strong for generations. It resists scratches better than 22K or 24K gold, holds gemstones securely, and retains its warm lustre through time. For fine rings and heirloom pieces, 18K gold truly delivers the quality that defines our brand.

Comfort for Everyday Wear

Jewellery should not only look beautiful, but also feel comfortable. Because 18K gold contains fewer alloy metals than 14K, it is naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. You can wear your piece daily with confidence, knowing it is safe and comfortable against your skin.

Timeless Glow That Lasts

Over time, 18K gold maintains its colour and shine, unlike lower carat metals that can dull or tarnish. With proper care, your ring will continue to tell your story, one filled with meaning, love, and elegance. This enduring glow is why 18K gold remains the preferred choice for our fine jewellery collections.

Our Promise at Unicorn Diamond International, Malaysia

Every custom piece we craft in 18K gold represents our dedication to craftsmanship and lasting beauty. For us, true luxury is not just about how jewellery sparkles, but how it stands the test of time. When you wear our creations, you carry a story that blends artistry, love, and heritage, one that will continue to shine for years to come.

In Summary, we choose 18K gold because it reflects everything we believe in: luxury, strength, and longevity. It is the metal that embodies love stories and legacies across generations.
