How to choose an engagement ring
Modern jewelry stores offer a wide range of these jewelry. Smooth (classic) and grooved, with and without stones, thin and massive - the design of the products strikes a variety. In addition, wedding rings can be made of gold (yellow, white, red), platinum, silver or alloys of metals.
Material of manufacture and design of rings for a wedding
Before you go to a jewelry store, you need to decide on these two criteria. If you prefer elegant simplicity, then it's better to stop the choice on the classic version of the wedding rings (the photos show the models). It is known that the classic is always in vogue - the severity and laconism of such ornaments is the best for a wedding in a traditional or European style. A distinctive feature of the classical rings is the absence of "screaming" design elements (large stones, intricate patterns and ornaments).
To fans of all unusual stylish stylish products in a design execution will approach. Often, such wedding rings are specially manufactured by author's design, as a result of which you become the owners of an exclusive hand-made thing that has no analogues in the world.
Set or separately?
When choosing it is very important to take into account not only the wishes of the groom and the bride, but also such a criterion as the compatibility of the wedding rings of one pair. Of course, most often "girls love diamonds" and catchy design, and men prefer strictness and restraint of lines. However, you should still adhere to a single style, of course, taking into account each other's wishes.
Today, jewelry wedding bridal sets consisting of a pair of wedding rings (for the bride and groom) and a woman's engagement ring are extremely popular. How is it customary to wear an engagement ring? This decoration is presented to the bride as a token of love, together with the offer of the hand and heart. This ring is worn by the bride before the wedding, and then the wedding is added to it. As a rule, all the rings of the wedding set are made in a single concept, but each is unique in its own way. In the photo - wedding rings and an engagement ring in one set:
Price
Here the main role is played by the material of manufacture and design. The usual classical ring of yellow gold will cost financially cheaper than platinum. If the wedding ring is inlaid with precious stones and made on an individual sketch, then its value will be appropriate.
The form
When choosing products, it should be borne in mind that:
- To narrow "aristocratic" fingers thin rings approach
- Fingers with a wide ringlet are visually "shortened" - the same effect is observed if the stone in the ring has a flat and rounded shape
- On short fingers it is not quite appropriate to look with a ring with a complex pattern
- The stone of oblong form visually lengthens the fingers
The size
Of course, without careful fitting, such a purchase can not be made. If the decoration is relatively freely scrolled on the finger, then this is your size. The ring that "dangles" constantly turns in the opposite direction or, on the contrary, squeezes the finger - an inappropriate option for buying.
In addition, during the fitting of the product, it should be noted that the size of the finger can vary slightly under the influence of many factors. For example, on a hot day or after considerable physical exertion, swelling of the hands and, accordingly, of the fingers is often observed. But in the cold your fingers can slightly "reduce" their size.
Engraving on Engagement Rings
For engraving, an easy-to-read and short phrase is most often chosen. Many "immortalize" names, important dates or well-known aphorisms, which bear a certain meaning. Thanks to modern technologies, engraving can be done in English, Russian, Hebrew and other languages.
