Finding The Right Engagement Ring For You
Engagement rings have been customary since the 9th century when one of the popes decreed that grooms to be must provide a betrothal ring in order to prove that they had the financial capability to support a wife. In those days the ring was a simple gold one, but in the 15th century it became popular to add gemstones to the ring and in the 19th century the diamond became the leading stone used in such rings.
Before you set about trying to find the right ring to formalize your engagement, you should know a little bit about the quality, clarity and size of the gem stones you are interested in purchasing and the features of a quality gem. This will help you to find a ring that offers you value for money on the amount that you are spending.
Diamond solitaire engagement rings are the most popular style that are sold these days and have been since the 19th century. When you are looking for this type of ring you need to know about carat size, clarity and quality of the stone. This style is classic, sophisticated and goes with everything and everyone. It is really a 'can't go wrong' choice if you are buying the ring unbeknownst to your bride to be.
There is an almost limitless choice available when you are looking for an engagement ring these days. Everyone is looking for something that suits their style as well as making a statement about them. For this reason there has been surge in popularity for antique engagement rings.
An antique engagement ring appeals to people for a couple of reasons. Some people like the sense of romance that they get knowing that the ring they have chosen has a history behind it. Other people like the more unusual styles that can be found in rings that come from different eras.
While it was tradition in the past for the male to secretly go and choose the ring before he asked the woman to marry him, it is also common these days for couples to go shopping together. The reason for this is that the woman can then choose a ring that is truly what she wants to mark her engagement with.
Becoming engaged is a very special time in your life and finding the right ring is an important first step towards the new life that you are going to share together. For this reason many couples put a lot of thought into the design and try to come up with something that is beyond the mainstream cookie cutter rings that are sometimes sold.
Is there a reason to not get a yellow gold engagement ring?
I have an olive complexion, and I find that yellow gold is more flattering to my skin tone than white gold or platinum. However, when shopping for an engagement ring, I'm finding that high-end stores carry mostly platinum & white gold and don't carry many yellow gold rings.
Is there a reason to NOT get a yellow gold engagement ring, besides taste? Like-- is yellow gold significantly less durable?
Yellow and white gold are produced from the same element, basic gold (AU). The "carat" refers to the parts out of 24 that are gold. 14k gold is 14 parts gold and 10 parts alloy. They make white gold by alloying regular AU, which is naturally bright yellow, with a white metal like silver. Then the white gold (which still looks a bit yellow) is plated with rhodium, a brighter but more pricey metal. In fact, white gold is less desirable because the rhodium will wear away and the yellowish/white metal beneath will need to be re-plated, thus white gold needs more maintenance. The best benefit to white gold is that when it is around diamonds it makes them look like a better quality stone.
Yellow gold is the same color all the way through and will never need any type of plating. It is equally as durable as white gold, white gold is just more fashionable at the moment. I have a yellow gold ring set myself, but the prongs around the diamond are white to get the benefits of making the diamond look better. If you want a nice selection of yellow gold rings I recommend finding a jeweler who sets the diamonds themselves, they have books to look through and you can pick a diamond and setting to suit you. I also feel like these types of jewelers will be more knowledgeable about the best settings and stones.
Stuller.com has many good images of ring settings, this was our main source for pre-made settings when I worked at a jeweler's. They don't sell direct to consumer though, you need to locate a store for pricing etc.
EDIT: I would not recommend having a white gold ring dipped (they mean plated) in yellow gold, because the plating wears off and it will give you a funny looking two tone thing. Just order a yellow setting and do it right.
