Crystallographically oriented triangular or hexagonal Au rings with micrometer‐scale edge lengths and nanoscale thicknesses are successfully synthesized in aqueous solution. By using a Au 3+ precursor and commercially available neutral polymeric surfactant ((C 2 H 4 O) 23 C 12 H 25 OH, Brij35), Au rings are generated in a single‐step, one‐pot synthesis.
