About this set
Linear ribbed, side by side
Five millimetres of fine vertical ribbing, white gold against yellow, cut the same way on both rings. Ribbing breaks the light into many thin lines, so neither ring ever shows one bright reflection; instead the two tones shimmer against each other as the hand moves. On two hands together the rings match in pattern and width, and at five millimetres they have enough face for the texture to read clearly from a little distance. What differs is mass rather than design: his is the heavier of the two.
Each ring on its own
Linear ribbed, hers weighs about 1.5g in 9ct and 2.1g in 18ct; Linear ribbed, his about 2g in 9ct and 2.8g in 18ct. Both are 5mm wide with a comfort fit inside, so the broader face never feels square edged on the finger. Bought singly, either is a textured two tone band with real presence, wide enough to wear alone without looking slight.

Choosing between the options
Textured gold carries everyday marks well, since fine scratches lose themselves among the ribs, which makes 9ct an easy choice for a ring worn daily. 18ct is the pick for a deeper yellow beside the white. Five millimetres is a confident width, and if one of you would rather wear something narrower, a single ring from this set beside a slimmer band from elsewhere in the range keeps the gold in common without forcing the width.
