A Few Things Couples Should Know When Choosing Their Rings
For most of recorded history, betrothal and marriage have been represented by the wearing of rings. The earliest ones were not precious metal but were usually made of iron. Some betrothal rings were not even of that quality, being made instead of woven grass. Fortunately, engagements were usually quite brief, so they lasted until the marriage, when they were usually replaced with a metal one. Eventually, silver and gold became more commonly used, and the use of gemstones then followed. However, diamonds were almost never included, since they were scarce and extremely expensive, reserved mainly for royalty. Major diamond deposits were found during the 1800s, which increased the supply and lowered the cost, although both were tightly controlled by the mine operators.
Antique engagement rings often reflect the scarcity and expense of diamonds. Other gemstones were frequently used, such as rubies, sapphires, and amethysts. The settings could be quite ornate, and intricate, delicate filigree was also used frequently. A ring can be as little as fifty years old and still qualify as an antique, or it may be several centuries old. Naturally, styles in both mountings and gems has varied a great deal over time. Therefore, there is really no typical antique ring.
For modern brides, the diamond's cut usually has much to do with her selection. There are several traditional cuts, and almost all of them are flat on top. The round cut is very popular for a solitaire. The facets along the sides let it catch and reflect light so that even a small stone sparkles well. For princess cut engagement rings, the diamond is cut into a square shape and normally set with the prongs securing it covering each corner. This cut is also used as a solitaire frequently, although it can also be set into the metal of the band.
If the rings do not match, the mountings can scratch or catch on each other. You can avoid this by checking the rings together for fit or by purchasing them as a set. Designers make sure they will fit well, and also offer such designs as interlocking rings.
At some point, you may decide to wear an eternity ring with or instead of your engagement or wedding ring. Eternity styles are an unbroken circle of stones set into a channel on the band. Some variations only have gems around half of the ring. Diamonds are frequently used, either alone or with other types of gems, such as the children's birthstones. These rings usually denote a specific milestone, such as the twenty-fifth anniversary. All three rings can be worn together if compatible.
Most women wear their rings around the clock, so it is necessary to make sure they fit properly. Sizing metal bands is an easy task for a jeweler, and is usually free when you purchase the rings. If you plan to use heirloom rings you have inherited, it is still not an expensive service to have done. However, rings with gems set completely around the metal, like eternity styles, are not normally sized. That would require removing at least one stone, which could detract from the appearance of the ring.
Think about how you will wear your engagement ring before purchasing one. A ring that is too ornate or overly large can prove annoying as you go about your day. Constantly removing it can lead to its loss, so these work best for special occasions. If you want a ring you can wear day and night, you will probably be happier with a simpler style
