Choosing a Wedding Band

Sunday, February 5th, 2012


“With this ring I thee wed…”

“I give this ring as a symbol of my Love and devotion”

Most of us dream about marriage from the day we can say, “I love you”. Then when that day finally arrives, the first decisions you will make together is choosing that special and original wedding band, a symbol of your love and commitment. That wedding band says your love will last a lifetime.

First, and most important, in choosing a wedding band, is to choose a wedding band design that you love. Next is to use a jeweler that uses high quality precious metals, and gemstones “But what metal should you choose or which gemstone is the best quality?” This article will show you what to look for in a quality ring, and a quality jewelry website.

Finding a ring and jeweler that fit the above criteria is a little more difficult than it might at first seem. Platinum is made with different types and amounts of alloys. Many websites use gold plate in place of solid gold, or 14k solid gold rather than 18k solid gold. Diamonds come in different colors, cut, clarity, and carat. The established jeweler will have superior sources for precious metals and gemstones. They will also have a lot more experience in all aspects of the jewelry business, including customer service.

The metals:

Most religious marital ceremonies accept wedding bands made of any metal to symbolize your vows. Titanium has become the prudent choice due it’s superior strength, and look. Additionally titanium is beautiful with inlays of gold, platinum, and adorned with diamonds.

Titanium is a very strong lightweight metal. You will hear different opinions on one alloy opposed to another, but they are irrelevant to the strength of a titanium wedding band. Any titanium-alloyed band is well beyond the strength needed for making unbelievably durable wedding bands.

If you desire quality gold jewelry – gold plating, electroplating, or gold overlays should not be considered. These methods have only a thin layer of gold over other metals, the thin layer eventually wears off. Pure Gold is 24K, and because of its softness, it is usually alloyed with base metals like copper, silver, zinc and/or cobalt, to harden thus maximize its use for fine jewelry. Most of the jewelry stores in the US use 14K gold. “What does that mean?” well 14K gold is made of 58.3% 24k gold and 41.7% alloys. For high quality with a deeper color and luster, 18K gold should be used. 18k gold is 75% 24k gold and 25% alloys.

Platinum is a soft metal and must have alloys added to it in order to maximize its use for fine jewelry. Unlike gold it must be 95% pure to still be called platinum. The best alloys for platinum are 3% cobalt, and 2% palladium. Platinum’s natural white luster is unaffected by time. Alloyed properly, platinum has a density and resistance to wear that makes it the most secure, protective metal for setting Diamonds.

The gemstone:

“A girl’s best friend” – diamonds – their very mention makes the heart skip a beat. The word ‘diamond’ comes from the Greek word ‘adamas’ meaning unconquerable, suggesting the eternity of love. It is the most exotic gemstone used for wedding bands. This timeless beautiful gemstone comes in many different varieties. The four areas of importance are Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat. The most important of these by far is the cut. If you get an ’Excellent Cut’ diamond, with Vs1 – Vs2, G – H in color you will have a stunning diamond that will last a lifetime.

Now that you have the knowledge of the qualities to look for when selecting your wedding band, it’s time to find a quality website. Planning a wedding is usually stressful, shopping via the internet makes it a lot easier. You’ll save time and won’t have to deal with things like the weather, traffic, or pushy salesmen. A quality wedding band website can give you a selection that few mall jewelers can provide.

The appearance of a website is the first thing to look at. Does it look professional? Your first impression is a good guide on his one. Next, ensure that the website doesn’t just buy-and-sell wedding bands; make sure the bands are designed and made by the websites jeweler. This is important, if an adjustment or modification is required, a jeweler is equipped to address these needs.

Make sure the jewelry website offers secure payment methods. A website That accepts credit cards must be approved by the issuing credit card company. PayPal is the leader in online secure payments, but make sure that the website has “secure socket layers”. That means that when you get to the “Check Out” (when payment is made with your credit or debit card) that there is a little picture of a locked-lock in the bottom right hand corner.

A wedding band is the most important piece of jewelry you will ever purchase, so take your time, and research your options.

Have fun choosing your wedding bands, it is a life changing experience! Congratulations!

The Meaning of Eternity Rings

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011


Eternity rings are beautiful symbols of love that your sweetheart is sure to cherish for years to come. But what are the true meanings of eternity rings? We’ve researched it, and found out that they can mean lots of different things to different people.

Eternity rings are rings, usually made of gold, white gold, or platinum, that feature stones that encompass the outside of the ring all the way around. Some feature stones that go half-way around, while most feature stones all the way around. The stones most often used are diamonds. Eternity rings are used very often for wedding bands, but are becoming increasingly popular as anniversary gifts and symbolizations of many special moments in a couple’s life.

Wedding bands symbolize the eternal circle of love and life. They are one continuous circle of precious metal that can never be broken. Many people have their wedding bands made to fit and don’t believe in sizing them. This is simply because they don’t want the band to ever be cut. The circle must never be broken. This is one reason that eternity rings are so popular as wedding bands. They don’t only beautifully compliment a diamond engagement ring, but they are one continuous unbreakable circle. Because of diamond placement circling the ring, you can’t size it. Cutting the band could cause you to lose stones and some believe, break the eternal circle. Eternity rings must be made to be the size that you need.

As one of the strongest substances on the planet, diamonds themselves represent eternity. Diamonds can mean undying love and devotion, loyalty, fidelity, eternal friendship, unwavering partnership and commitment. They can also represent the future, promising a life of togetherness and closeness. Diamonds on eternity rings represent all of these meanings in an eternal circle, essentially magnifying their meanings, continually encompassing the finger in a never-ending circle of lasting beauty.

Some people use eternity rings to symbolize various moments in their lives. One man described why he chose an eternity ring for his bride of fifty years. He realized that each one could symbolize something important that they had shared or an adversity that they had overcome together. He wrote a beautiful poem describing what each stone meant. One was for the first time he laid eyes on her. The next was for their first kiss. Then came marriage, children, their first home, getting through the hardships that they had faced together with unwavering commitment to each other, and so on. Coming up with his own meanings made this eternity ring extremely special to his wife and surely put a smile on her face every time she saw it after that. This special ring and it’s story will most definitely become a treasured family memory and heirloom in the future.

In short, the eternity rings that you give can mean whatever you want them to. Eternity rings should always symbolize something. Whether it is marriage, the birth of a child, anniversary or just a special time in your lives, eternity rings can really solidify the moment, capturing the uniqueness and sacred bond that you share in a stunning circle of stones. Your special relationships, friendships and love can be forever symbolized in eternity rings.

Thus you take a step at a time, to catching we with view of the attitude of styles. & lt; br/& gt; & lt; br/& gt; Each Schmuckstà ¼ ck with a stone whether itself around a ring, a pair of Ohrringe, Anhänger or, all have it the same fundamental components unabhängig from the attitude style or Gröà ? an e of the diamonds. The gallery is the place, where the stone (as into solitaire), or several stones are set, and the style of the gallery is it, which differentiates between an attitude of the other one. & lt; br/& gt; & lt; br/& gt; the pin attitude is common to most, where the small points/teeth, those usually platinum fà ¼ r firmness, are bent à ¼ more ber the Gà ¼ rtel, around it into force (see http://www.personalized-jewelery.com/JewelryEducation/DiamondGuide.html). There are usually four on six emphasis fà ¼ r most diamonds of cuts (Tiffany so called sentence) with exception of the Marquise and Trilliant Kà ¼ rzungen. These mà ¼ ssen two or three V-förmigen tines at the corners. The pin is the attitude and shows the cut of the diamond, but some points/teeth are so high that the stone can more easily imprisoned on objects such as gloves and bags.
