Most newlyweds prefer gold wedding rings. Gold is considered a noble metal, therefore, according to the long-standing tradition, such products are a symbol of a strong and happy family life.
Wedding Ring Guidelines
Couples should approach the choice of wedding rings with all responsibility. The product must be made of high quality metal. The rings will be a symbol of your love for the rest of your life.
Recommendations on what wedding rings should be:
- It is not necessary for the spouses to have the same models, the main thing is that they combine with each other. For example, it will look organic if the wife has a ring of white gold with a large stone, and her husband has a ring of black gold with small diamonds;
- Before buying, make sure that the ring does not press on the finger and does not slip. Some models can be expanded or reduced, exceptions are vintage products or with stone. The size digit (from 15 to 23) is equivalent to the diameter of the ring, which is measured in millimeters;
- Rings, not only wedding ones, must be measured in a warm room, because in the cold the vessels are compressed, respectively, the finger becomes “narrower”. It is best to go for wedding rings in the daytime, in the evening and in the morning the fingers swell;
- If you are superstitious, buy rings with a smooth surface, then married life will be smooth and happy. Also, if you believe in signs, do not get an amethyst ring with a stone, it is called a “widow stone”.
Buy wedding rings together. This is a guardian of family happiness, so the choice should be common.
Classic wedding rings
Fashion is changing, but classic is always out of time. Many newlyweds prefer beautiful wedding rings in a classic style because of the neat and simple shape. There is a belief that if the surface of the rings is smooth, then life together will be the same.
Classic models are thin rings with a smooth surface.
They resemble a rim or a keg; popularly, classical rings are called that. There are no stones, cuts, carvings on classic wedding jewelry - only engraving on the inside of the ring can be done.
In a classic, products must be identical to each other. Unlike other options, where most often a ring is made for men in the classical style, and for women - with stones or other decorative elements.
Classic rings should be made of pure gold (white or yellow), without the addition of any metals.
If the newlyweds adhere to conservative views, in this case, the classic model of wedding rings is an ideal option.
Thin rings will look amazing on thin fingers, this decoration gives hands grace and elegance.Classic wedding rings are more suitable for young brides; on older women, they will not look organic. On mature ladies, wider rings will look more harmonious.
The man’s engagement ring should be identical to the woman’s, only slightly wider. On men's hands, too thin a product will look awkward. A ring with a smooth surface made of pure white or yellow gold is ideal for any groom.
Engraved engagement rings
Cutting and engraving - Another way to make engagement rings not only stylish and beautiful, but also original. The basis for making a faceted ring can be yellow or white gold, as well as platinum.
Against their background, the relief pattern looks quite bright and gives a beautiful shine that resembles a scattering of precious stones. The faceted jewelry looks as luxurious as the rings with real diamonds.
Rings with a facet (braiding) symbolize the interweaving of souls.
This is an ornament in the form of braids, imitation of knitting, interwoven metal threads. Such products are performed on modern high-precision equipment. Jewelers attribute such jewelry to a group of rings with a diamond facet, however, the cut has significant advantages over conventional diamond surface treatment of metal.
The cut on wedding rings makes the product unusual and gives it its own zest. From the side it seems that the ring is decorated with many small crystals.
Engraving - This is some inscription, date or symbol on the inside of the engagement ring. However, it is now also very fashionable to engrave the ring from the outside, but it is not so romantic.
In the classics, the names of the newlyweds or the date of the wedding are chosen for engraving. But in fact, you can hide anything from the prying eyes on the inside of the ring.
It will be romantic to engrave a small infinity sign. It may be your little secret, for example, a date that is of great importance only for the two of you.
Sometimes engagement rings engrave one phrase, divided into two parts, which means two halves of one whole.
This may be the same sentence that symbolizes their love. Or you can also engrave one single word, having read which, the spouses will always remember each other.
Engraving can become a symbol of your family.
Original engagement and engraving engagement rings are more expensive than classic ones, but cheaper than with real stones. The price of the product will depend on the type of gold used and the thickness, as well as the presence of engraving.

It was also believed that the stone is able to affect the mood of the spouses.
However, there may be a misunderstanding between the couple as to which stone to choose, so that both the bride and groom like it. The girl may like a more catchy and bright stone, and the groom - a classic, without luxury.
