When choosing a gold wedding ring, the final price is never a fixed number — it comes from a combination of three main factors: gold purity, the ring's weight, and the craftsmanship of the workshop making it.
1. Gold purity — 585 or 750?
In Moldova, the most popular purities for wedding rings are 585 (14 karat) and 750 (18 karat). 750 gold contains more pure gold, is denser, and at the same weight costs noticeably more than 585 gold. Most couples in Chisinau choose 585 for a good balance between price and durability.
2. Weight — the heavier, the pricier
Price grows almost linearly with the ring's weight. A classic, thin wedding ring typically weighs between 2 and 4 grams, while wide or heavy designs can reach 6-8 grams or more. The price difference between a 3g and a 6g ring can exceed 80%.
3. Craftsmanship and design
Rings with a simple, classic design require less manual work. Models with facets, textures, or combined finishes (matte + polished) require more craftsmanship and increase the final cost by 15-30%.
What does it cost, in numbers?
At the Chipeti workshop in Chisinau, a pair of classic 585 gold wedding rings starts at an accessible price for a thin ring and grows proportionally with weight and design complexity.
