A Few Things Couples Should Know When Choosing Their Rings
For centuries, rings have been used as symbols of betrothal and marriage. Early rings were not always made of metal, such as when one would be woven of grass or reed to signify an engagement. Engagements in those days were often quite brief, so the rings usually lasted until the marriage ceremony. At that time, they were often replaced with a plain iron band. As time passed, gold and silver replaced the iron, and with even more time, gems were sometimes added. Seldom, however, were diamonds used, since they were so rare that the expense meant that royals were about the only ones who could afford them. With the discovery of large diamond fields in the 1800s, the supply increased even with the tight regulations enacted by diamond mining companies.
The expense and scarcity of diamonds is often reflected in antique engagement rings. Amethysts, rubies, and sapphires were more commonly used. The metal settings, however, could be extremely ornate, and many fine examples of filigree can be found. By definition, an antique only needs to be more than five decades old, but they can also be five centuries old. Therefore, you will find a great range of styles and gems used in antique rings and there is not a simple definition for one.
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.
It is best to either buy wedding sets that are designed to fit together or at least try both rings on together. You want to make sure that the prongs or supports on the engagement ring do not become entangled with the wedding ring. There are also some sets that are designed to interlock, often by the use of a swirl on each.
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.
When shopping for an engagement ring, consider whether you plan to wear it all the time or only for special occasions. A large, elaborate ring can prove troublesome when performing normal activities during the day. Having to remove it many times daily can not only be annoying, but could lead to loss. A less ornate mounting may be preferable for a ring that will seldom be removed.
