Since medieval times, wedding rings have been symbols of eternal love, devotion and fidelity of a married couple, so the choice of this difficult piece of jewelry should be done with great responsibility and attention.
Ring quality
When choosing a wedding ring, one should first of all take into account the quality of its manufacture. As strange as it may sound, to check it is just a matter of throwing the ring from a small height onto a flat and hard surface. If it bounces off the surface quite easily with a characteristic ringing, then the ring is of high quality and cast. If, when dropped, it emits a slightly dull sound, this means that the ring was soldered from several parts of metal, and is not of high quality. You also need to pay attention to the special marking of the ring - the stamp on which the sample of the product should be displayed, as well as the manufacturer's mark.
Ring style
When choosing wedding rings, you should pay attention to the hands of the bride and groom. Wide and massive rings are more suitable for chubby and short fingers, but graceful and small rings will look better on thin and long fingers.
Sometimes people buy themselves wedding rings inlaid with stones. It should be remembered that each stone has its own specific meaning and property. The best stone for wedding rings is considered to be a diamond. He carries the energy of happiness, joy and eternal love. Rings with emeralds bring happiness and wealth, rings with rubies have long been signs of passion. But rings with amethysts are not worth buying for a wedding. The people call this stone a widow, because it brings loneliness to the owner. It is also not recommended to purchase wedding rings with dark colored stones.
It should be noted that for a long time the fashion to purchase only gold rings for weddings has been outdated. Many people prefer platinum or palladium rings. These products have their pluses and minuses. For example, a platinum ring will cost twice as much as gold, and at the same time, it will look similar to an inexpensive silver ring, since platinum is light silver in color. Of the advantages of rings made of platinum metals, it is worth noting their great inertness even to the most aggressive substances, as well as durability.
Basic selection rules
Before choosing a wedding ring, you should accurately determine the size of your finger. This is done in a warm room and in the evening, because the finger may be swollen at other times of the day. Any jewelry store has a finger measuring device. It is a set of many special thin rings.
It is also important to consider the width of the ring. For thin and long fingers, narrow rings with a width of 3 millimeters should be chosen. For chubby and long fingers, rings with an average thickness of 7 millimeters are suitable. On short and thin fingers, rings with a width of 2, 5-3, 5 millimeters will look good, but on fingers of medium fullness and length, it is better to wear rings with a width of 5 to 6 millimeters.
