Metal Matters: What’s Your Ring Made Of

Posted | Views: 1,282
Getting hitched? Well, kudos! You must be really excited. Picking an engagement ring might get you nervous and confused. Don’t worry! Choosing a wedding ring is indeed a tough task. If you know the choice of your partner, things become easier. Still, most of the grooms take at least 3 months to select an engagement ring, says research. 

There are so many things that you have to take into account. It is high time that you at least finalized the design. The good point is that most of the online retailers let you pick the design first and then ask you your choice of stone as well as metal in which you want to get the ring made. But how do you make a choice unless you are aware? It is as important to understand the qualities and properties as well as other aspects of metals as of the stone or the diamond that you want for the ring. The following are some common questions that a number of people ask about metals:

1. Are platinum and white gold the same?
2. How is 18k gold different from 22k gold?
3. What is rose gold? 
4. Can titanium and other modern metals counted as precious as silver or gold?

These are just a few random queries that men as well as women ask when looking for a ring. It becomes simpler to find the answers to your questions out when you go step by step. The first thing that you need to remember is that you can’t find out every single thing about every single method. After all it is not metallurgy; it is marriage that you are preparing for.

The next thing for you to do is to list a few metals based on the price as well as preference if any. Gold, palladium and platinum are by far the best. So, in case you are not happy with gold, because she has an allergic reaction to it, don’t read for rose gold. Skip all variants of gold and opt for some other metal. Research as much as required, only!

MORE IMPORTANTLY, KNOW HER STYLE

More than the metal, it is essential to understand her style or preference. Notice her choice in jewelry. Does she likes the soft tone of white gold or does the bright yellow gold attract her? These are little things that you will come to know about only when you take her window shopping with you. Check the following points:

1. White gold or Platinum Engagement Rings are for her if she likes cool colors like blue or silvery white

2. A liking for warmer tones means that she will like rose or yellow gold

3. In case you are not able to make a choice, you can get warm and cool hues mixed

4. Yellow gold engagement rings sometimes makes the diamond look dull. Therefore, you can set the diamond in a white metal head even though the ring band is of gold. 

There are a number of other things that one needs to know about metals. A few facts like platinum is five times rarer than gold and is hypoallergenic in nature are worth knowing. On the other hand, gold is the most sought after when it comes to jewelry. It might look like copper when you first look at it, but the warm pink shade you see is rose gold. These are fine little things that one must be careful about when thinking about ‘engagement jewelry’. In all, you need a lot of research and also need to put a lot of thought into purchasing that special ring for your special one.
