Picking the Strongest Wedding Bands

2009-11-09T19:56:00.001-08:00

As mentioned earlier, wedding bands become the symbol of the unbreakable bond between two people who have been united in marriage. If such is the case, a bond forged in the diamond is as strong as it gets. Diamonds are so strong that no metal can cut it, and the only thing that could is another diamond. The fact that it is used to cut other metals is a testament to its strong composition.

However, strength is not just why diamond is such a precious stone. Kings and queens have long found out that the diamond is as beautiful as it is strong. Even if uncut, it already plays with the light. In the hands of master jeweler, its beauty rises as well as its value. Though there was a time that only palaces had access to diamonds, today a married couple can choose from a variety of diamond wedding bands.

Patterns
A plain metal band is a popular form considered by many couples. However, a pattern would be prohibitively expensive to an already expensive diamond band. The cuts or karats decide the value of particular diamond. Cutting a diamond completely into a band would prove to be a challenge and would have an astronomical price indeed.

The solution would be to use another metal as a plain band and then have the diamonds lined up to a design picked by the couple. The metal band would either be gold or platinum, since they would be strong enough for the main stone. This is one of the few moments that the most precious metal is outshone by a stone. The design usually is not as extravagant as an engagement ring; in fact, simplicity is encouraged. Though this might be considered difficult as it is a diamond ring, many jewelry shops have concocted patterns and forms that still show elegance despite the simplicity. You can also choose to select one and modify it a bit to suit your preference.

Look and Choose my engagement ring

2009-10-13T20:38:00.000-07:00

I’m lucky that I get to choose my engagement ring. It’s funny, my fiancé didn’t propose to me like most people. No setting off to a secret, romantic, or exotic location and getting down on one knee, saying, “Will you marry me?” Just a simple, “When do you want to look for engagement rings?” And I’m okay with this “proposal.” I already knew he’s the one that I want to marry and vice versa. We already talked about marriage four months into the relationship, but we were friends two years prior. Plus, we’re older, so I don’t need all that frivolity. I’m just excited about picking out my ring!

I’m having trouble picking out the type of metal to choose for my diamond engagement ring. There are so many to choose from, yellow and white golds, platinum, tungsten, titanium, and silver, and they all have their pros and cons. Right now, I’m going to stay away from silver engagement rings because the metal is too soft.

Yellow gold is classic, something that my mom and her friends often choose because it’s considered precious and valuable. However, it seems like it’s going out of style. More of my friends choose white metals, and I have a lot of silver jewelry and some yellow gold pieces. Because I have more white metal jewelry, yellow gold will be towards the bottom of my list.

White gold does sound appealing, and it contains gold, 75% to be more exact with 25% white metals with rhodium plating, and is durable and light. However, I heard that the metal can have a yellowish tint over the years, but it can be restored by replating it with rhodium, which be can be done while you’re waiting.

Platinum has the status of wealth nowadays because it is expensive and very durable. However, it’s heavy, and a few of my friends tell me that it tends to be dull in a couple of years, scratches easily, and needs to be polished pretty often. Yet, some of my friends say that they love their platinum rings.

Titanium is an even stronger metal than platinum, but it’s black. I think this metal would make a better wedding band than engagement ring, so I’m taking this metal off my list. Plus, I read that since it’s so strong, in emergency situations, no paramedic has the tools to break it off!

Tungsten has the highest melting point than all the other metals, so it’s very durable and is great if you’re working in a labor-intensive environment. But it can crack if it’s hit with enough force. Hmm, I think I’ll also put this lower on my list, maybe consider it more for a wedding band.

I narrowed down my choices in the following order: platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and maybe tungsten. I’ll get more of an idea of what I want to choose once I try them on tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow, my fiancé and I will begin my engagement ring search!

Luxury and Life behind Diamond Engagement Rings

2009-08-05T21:40:00.000-07:00

An engagement ring, they say, is the foremost step behind the basic premise of a couple's pledge to build a future together. Typically, an engagement ring is presented as a man's betrothal gift to the woman whom he chooses to marry. The woman, in acceptance of the marriage proposal, proudly wears the engagement ring. It essentially indicates the agreement of the couple to a get married.

Luxurious as they are, engagement rings have their origin. It was said to have been introduced to society in 1215 when Pope Innocent III declared that couples observe a "waiting period: toward marriage.” Believers determined that it was necessary to wear an engagement ring to specify the change in their status. Meanwhile, the first recorded formal use of the engagement ring is in 1477, when an Archduke Maximilian of Austria expressed his intent to make Mary of Burgundy his lifetime partner. The engaged couple was wed 24 hours later.

Way back during the 15th century, ancient Roman men offered rings to their loved ladies. The engagement rings were called "truth rings," which men eventually opted to engrave or inscribe with the name of the women.

Couples in the Middle Ages had used diamonds as a symbol for blessed union. Being the strongest of all minerals, it became the ideal material to represent an indestructible bond that marriage brings to the life of couples. This gesture was deemed extravagant and was only practiced by wealthy Europeans royalties.

It was during the 19th century that diamonds became more accessible to common folks, and men would purchase them to profess love to their women. Eventually, the trend in buying engagement rings made a full turn as people began discovering that birth stones do not need to be exclusively adorned with diamonds. They swapped diamond engagement rings to those embellished with unique birth stones or other precious gems such as emerald, sapphire or ruby.

The gestures of presenting and wearing engagement rings have also evolved. In the United States, Finland, Denmark Sweden, Germany or Norway, many men and women wear engagement rings to symbolize an upcoming marriage. In this case, men’s engagement ring doubles as the wedding ring to seal the marriage, while women generally receive a separate wedding ring.

Some More Tips on Choosing Diamond Wedding Bands

2009-07-16T02:48:00.000-07:00

So you are finally going to make it official and taking the plunge in the grandest way you know: getting married. For most people, their wedding will remain the most memorable moment in their lives; why not commemorate it with diamond wedding bands?

Diamond wedding bands are not only cool and fashionable; it is also a testament of your love for one another. Diamonds are forever, as your love should be. Diamonds are beautiful and sparkling pieces that reflect how your marriage should be. What is more, it is easy to look elegant even with simple diamond wedding bands.

Admittedly, there are some things to keep in mind when you are searching for the right wedding band. Here are some:

Go from one jeweler to another and take a look at their collection. Go online and check out the offerings. This would help you get a feel of what you really want, what metal is available, and can give you some valuable design ideas. Comparison shopping will also help you get an idea of just how much a particular wedding band might cost or get you introduced to the most cost-effective jeweler in town.
Not all diamonds are created equal. Remember that diamonds are rated on four criteria: carat, color, cut and clarity, or the 4 Cs. A diamond that rates high in all four criteria is understandably very expensive. Do not fret, though. Choose a diamond that might have a lower rating on one criterion, but is still beautiful. For instance, it would be cheaper for you to get a diamond that has a slightly imperfect cut, but has stunning clarity. You can hide imperfections by setting it correctly.
Customize it. If you have a particular design in mind and you are having problems looking for the exact design, or if you want to have a unique wedding band that would separate you and your partner from the rest, then it might make sense to customize it. Customizing might also help you save by allowing you to choose for simpler designs, settings or cheaper materials than what is currently available. The good thing is most brick and mortar jewelers now offer customized pieces or customization services, or you can also go online.
Looking to keep the price down? Do not be too proud to ask your jeweler for a discount. During a recession like the one we are experiencing now, it is perfectly normal to ask for a discount, especially if you are using the same jeweler for both the groom’s and the bride’s rings!
Something old or something new? Another way for you to save is to bring out that family heirloom out of its jewelry box. Do you really need a new ring when an older, previously-owned one will be perfect? Check out pawnshops or e-bay for bargain diamond wedding bands that are also very stunning. You could probably gain some substantial savings on this.

Diamond wedding bands should reflect the love you have for each other. With these tips, you are ensured that you will choose the perfect one for you and your partner!
