Good Gold

About Good Gold

Good Gold is a jewellery studio that focuses entirely on plain, gold wedding rings (and the occasional special release piece) made from locally-sourced ethical gold. Our jeweller, Siggy, has over 20 years of experience making rings and a deep connection to the West Coast where we source our alluvial gold.

Instead of casting our rings, Siggy bends a strip of metal into a circle, solders the join and then work hardens the metal with a hammer and fire and then files and sands the ring into its most considered form. Working a ring in this way makes the atoms of the gold align, giving the ring strength and solidity. We love that she works these traits into each ring; strength, alignment and solidity (lovely building blocks for a sturdy marriage).

This extra strength allows us to offer a lifetime (and beyond!) guarantee. We want our rings to last for generations, to be handed down many times.

Our business has evolved over the last decade to reflect the evolution of our personal values, including a widened lens of what it means to be an ethical business. More than just using sustainable materials and recycled mailers, we want our business to be a bridge away from the extractive and destructive version of capitalism we’re currently living within, and hopefully as a roadmap of expanding outward instead of scaling up.

We exist as a worker’s co-op of three women; Siggy Hilton, Laurel Williams and Katie Pascoe.
