Choosing wedding rings is one of the most important decisions in life.
Wedding rings are a symbol of a concluded marriage, and their shape signifies the infinity and durability of mutual love and fidelity. Here are a few key aspects to consider when choosing wedding rings that will accompany you throughout your lives.
The most frequently chosen metal for wedding rings is gold. The standard gold used is 585 (14K), which is durable and resistant to everyday wear. 750 (18K) gold is softer and susceptible to scratches, and lower grades (e.g. 333) can cause allergies and darken. In addition to traditional yellow gold, white and pink gold rings are also popular, as well as their combinations.
Platinum (most often in 950 fineness) is the most expensive and durable precious metal. It is highly scratch-resistant and retains its shine for many years, but is difficult to process and more expensive.
Silver rings (925 fineness) are rarely chosen as wedding rings due to their softness, which makes them less durable.
It is essential to measure your ring size accurately. It is worth considering several factors, such as the ring style, its width, any lens profile, and the time of day and year. The ring should pass through the joint of the finger with slight resistance. It is recommended to measure rings at different times of day and year to obtain the optimal size. You can also order a half size.
The weight of the rings affects their durability and comfort of wearing. Massive rings are more resistant to damage and retain their appearance longer, while thin rings can quickly wear out and become dangerous.
The width of wedding rings is a matter of individual preference. Standard widths range from 3 mm to 10 mm, with 5 mm being the most popular width. Women's wedding rings are usually narrower than men's, which is consistent with the proportions of the hand.
The profile of the ring, or its cross-sectional shape, affects the comfort of wearing. There are convex, flat, concave and lenticular profiles. The internal lenticular profile improves the comfort of wearing, makes it easier to put on and take off, and can also help to better adjust the size.
Multi-colored wedding rings, combining yellow, white and rose gold, are becoming increasingly popular. In our workshop, we combine these colors using the diffusion welding method, which ensures durability and an aesthetic effect.
Wedding rings can have different finishes, such as:
• shiny
• diamond cut
• milled
• satin finish
• sandblasted
Each finish changes the look of the ring, but it can wear out over time. It is worth remembering that rings can be renewed, although each renewal involves the loss of gold.
Many women decide to decorate their wedding rings with stones, most often diamonds. Diamonds are the hardest minerals and retain their shine for a long time. However, it should be remembered that wedding rings with stones are more difficult to adjust, and their size should be carefully selected. An alternative is synthetic zircons, which can lose their shine over time. Choosing wedding rings is a decision that requires consideration. By taking into account the above aspects, you can find the perfect wedding rings that will be a beautiful symbol of your love and marriage for life.
