- “1 gram gold ring” draws 18,100 searches a month in India; “gold plated rings” 3,600; “one gram gold ring for men” 590 (Semrush).
- Indian ring sizes run from 8 (48 mm) to 20 (60 mm) by finger circumference.

- Rings wear faster; take them off before washing and cleaning.
Rings are the most personal piece of jewellery, and one of the most searched: “1 gram gold ring” draws about 18,100 searches a month in India, “gold plated rings” 3,600, “one gram gold ring” 1,600, “gold plated ring for women” 1,000 and “one gram gold ring for men” 590 (Semrush India database, October 2026). Fit matters more than style, because a ring that is too loose slips off, and one that is too tight is hard to wear.
What is a gold plated ring, and what else is it called?
A gold plated ring is a ring on a base metal with a thin layer of gold. Shoppers also search for it as a one gram gold ring, gold covering ring, forming ring, imitation ring or artificial ring. None is solid gold. Tanishka Jewels sells micro gold-plated (imitation) jewellery, not real gold: multi-layer plating, 2–3 microns thick, over a nickel-free copper-alloy base.
| Name you may see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Gold plated ring | A thin layer of gold electroplated over a base metal. The most direct name. |
| One gram gold / 1 gram gold / gram gold ring | Retail name for gold-plated pieces. “1 gram” is not the weight of the piece; it loosely refers to the small amount of gold used in plating (World Gold Council; BlueStone). |
| Gold covering / gold forming ring | Trade names some sellers use for gold-finished pieces. Meanings vary by seller, so ask what the finish is and how thick. |
| Micro gold plated ring | Plating measured in microns (millionths of a metre). Tanishka Jewels states 2–3 microns, multi-layer. |
| Imitation / artificial ring | Umbrella terms for jewellery that is not solid gold; customs classes it as imitation jewellery of base metal, plated or not (HSN code 7117 (“imitation jewellery”)). |

What is your ring size?
In India, ring size is measured by the inner diameter or circumference of the ring. BlueStone’s sizing guide lists the chart below. Wrap a thread or paper strip around your finger, mark where it overlaps, measure the length in millimetres and match it to the circumference column. Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger.
| Indian ring size | Inner diameter (mm) | Finger circumference (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 15.3 | 48 |
| 10 | 15.9 | 50 |
| 12 | 16.6 | 52 |
| 14 | 17.2 | 54 |
| 16 | 17.8 | 56 |
| 18 | 18.5 | 58 |
| 20 | 19.1 | 60 |
If you are between two sizes, choose the slightly larger one; a ring should never feel tight. Send us a photo of a ring that fits you, with a ruler for scale, if you want help.

How do you make a gold plated ring last?
Hands touch water, soap, sanitiser and surfaces all day, so a ring takes more wear than a necklace or earrings.
- Step 1: take it off before washing hands, cooking, cleaning and the gym.
- Step 2: keep it away from sanitiser, perfume and hand cream; put it on after they have dried.
- Step 3: wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
- Step 4: store it in a pouch, away from other jewellery.
