All that glitters – When selecting the material you want for your ring, gold and platinum are the usual suspects for wedding rings whether it is for bands or other designs. You could opt for the classic white or yellow gold and platinum or also the newly popular rose gold. The delicate pinkish-gold glimmer or rose gold is also perfect for vintage rings! Or even a mix of the three types of gold can be very pretty for a band. An unconventional option or an out of the box bride would be an ethnic silver ring. Don’t let custom dictate what you buy, purchase the ring according to the personality, style and sartorial preferences of the wearer. Of course a gold solitaire diamond ring is a fool-proof option most women love!
A girl’s best friend – Diamonds make most things look so much prettier and rings are no exception! When buying a diamond to set in your own design or a ready diamond ring, watch out for the four ‘C’s i.e. cut, clarity, carat and colour. The carat is the actual weight of the stone determining its size, the cut like the oval or emerald cut for example will be the shape of the stone and determine how the light sparkles of it, the clarity is the purity of the diamond and the colour will indicate how white it is. While colourless or white diamonds are always beautiful, you will also find gorgeous rings made from coloured gems like chocolate diamonds and yellow diamonds today. They add a unique flair, while still retaining the value of this all-important ring! You could also opt for other precious stones like emeralds, sapphires and rubies to either act as accents or be the starring act.
