Wedding rings, how to choose

Wedding rings, guide to choosing it (and 5 ideas to find the right wedding ring for you) ♦

Jewels have always played a decisive role in relationships, not only from the most frivolous point of view, as one of the most appreciated gifts a man can give a woman, but also from a much deeper aspect, of union between two people. That’s why choosing a wedding ring to share with your life partner shouldn’t be taken lightly.

The ring for the couple’s most important day, in fact, will be worn (hopefully) for a lifetime. In short, the choice must be decided after thinking well. And also keep in mind that the ring must be combined with different clothes, different seasons, in the evening as in the morning. In short, it must always go well.

So, is it better to choose a classic wedding ring, in simple yellow gold? Or in rose, white or platinum gold? A shiny, satin or diamond wedding ring? Here is a selection of what you can buy on the internet: the wedding ring, like love, has no boundaries. And for the measure? The size of the ring can be easily determined by following these instructions.

1 yellow gold ring. It is like a gray suit, which is good for all occasions. A classic. It never clashes, no one will notice it too much, but don’t think you stand out. There are those who choose a yellow gold band ring precisely because it is a little anonymous, no one will ever have anything to say about your choice, and in 20 years it will do the same. Others, however, find the yellow gold wedding ring too boring. To you the choice.

2 rose gold ring. Years ago, rose gold was considered too flashy and not suitable for marriage. Today this is no longer the case: those who choose pink gold appreciate the warm color of the metal. Among other things, there is not just one type of rose: the color, in fact, depends on the amount of copper that is used in the alloy with gold. The brighter the pink, the more copper will have been used. To be precise, pink gold is usually composed of 75% gold (yellow, therefore), 6.5-5% silver and 18.5-20% copper. Of course, you don’t have to have copper allergies.

3 white gold ring. Discreet, classic, perfect even when complemented by a small diamond set in the band: white gold continues to have a good number of admirers. However, its luster depends on the type of rhodium plating used (this also applies to the other colors of gold). When white gold loses its luster with wear, it risks being confused with silver. But don’t worry: just take it to a jewelry store for a new quick rhodium plating and it will be as good as new.

4 diamond rings. The classic solitaire is usually a ring intended for engagement. In that case, however, the diamond is branded on the outside of the gold band. Nothing prevents, however, that small diamonds can also be used for wedding rings. But in this case they must be placed very discreetly on the ring so as not to become excessively showy.

5 platinum rings. There is not only gold: platinum is a great metal for wedding rings. In addition to being very chic, platinum is also a metal that does not easily cause allergies, and is very resistant. However, it is a little more expensive than gold. Not only that: once worn it is not distinguishable from a normal white gold ring: therefore, if you choose platinum, you don’t have to worry about showing the price.

The secrets of the princess cut




Diamonds with princess cut, also chosen by Emily Ratajkowski, seems to have a lot of fans. That’s why ♦

Do you want feel as princesses? It’s easy, just choose a ring with a princess cut diamond, enjoyed even by Emily-Ratajkowski. The engagement rings princess cut diamonds, that is squared (square or rectangular), they have a recent history. This type of cut was introduced only in 1960, but encoded in 1981 by Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itskowitz. In return, it quickly became popular. The reason is simple: it seems so much. A princess cut diamond should have an average of 58 to 76 facets but, what is more important, it seems larger than the classic round brilliant cut (ie round). Even in the upside-down pyramid shape with rounded sides it has a very good performance in terms of light reflection. The right considered ratio between the sides to a square shape is between 1 and 1.05, while for the rectangular shape is 1 to 1.10 to 1.20.

Another advantage is that usually the stones cut in this way also have a lower cost in proportion, because it wastes less material from the rough stone. In particular, the princess shape keeps about 80% of the rough diamond, while the round brilliant retains only about 50%. If then around the diamond princess cut are joined other small stones, the effect is assured. No coincidence that many Maison offer from engagement rings with diamonds cut in this way.

Buying Tips
Experts advise to choose at least one diamond with VS2 clarity, H color and, of course, a stone cut well. How? Try to draw an imaginary line that crosses the stone for the length, and observed whether the facets on the right and left halves have the same shape and size. Now, do the same operation in the horizontal direction and see if the opposite faces are the same size. Observe also the bottom and check that there are no cracks in the stone.

History and power of a ring. The statement ring with a 10.47 carats diamond which belonged to Grace Kelly. Next January 5, in fact, will be the anniversary of the engagement of the american actress with the Prince of Monaco, Rainier. In 1956, to move the heart of the ethereal Hollywood star, at that time at the top of his career, the prince moved heaven and earth to find a stone that could impress her.

The search result is the diamond mounted on platinum, emerald cut, placed on the engagement ring. A side has two smaller diamonds baguette. It is a special stone, because only diamonds perfectly free of impurities can be cut emerald: a form with only 49-50 facets glimpse more easier inclusions or impurities. In comparison, the round cut, which has 58 facets, better hiding defects. It was 1956 and Prince Rainier III offered his third meeting to Grace, and with the help of Cartier, conquered the actress. The ring, in fact, must be loved by Grace Kelly, so much so that he decided to wear it on the set of his latest film, High Society, before becoming Princess of Monaco.

The dream of Simon G

The jewels of Simon G, the American dream interpreted with gold and precious stones ♦

The “American Dream” is an expression that is used to indicate who manages to be successful in the US. As Simon Ghanimian, founder of the brand Simon G. “When I came to America, I had 200 dollars in my pocket and the dream of going to college to become an engineer. But when I tried to sign up on New York, it took thousands of dollars” said the jeweler. Fortunately for him, he found a job by a diamond trader. So, instead of becoming an engineer, he did his career of entrepreneur in the world of jewelry, the important one. He has also turned himself in a designer and moved to California, beginning by selling door to door.

Then he opened his own company, “but when I went to register the brand the clerk told me my name was too long.” Here is the explanation of Simon G. The jewels of the former poor boy are now required by the rich: prices often exceed 20,000 dollars. But, perhaps in memory of his past that started from the bottom, the jeweler has now decided to do platinum rings for everyone. A new bridal collection consists of 15 pieces made in the most expensive metal, and are offered for less than 2,000 dollars. More than an American dream, is a dream for who must buy the engagement ring.

How much money should you spend on a wedding ring

/





Do not you know how much is right to spend on an engagement ring? Read here ♦

How much do you have to spend on an engagement ring? It is an expense that repays over time, because the value of the ring rises? Or is it better to invest the same sum in something that has an immediate utility, such as a piece of furniture or one or two loan installments? It depends. There is no single answer to all these questions. But one can reason to arrive at an intelligent conclusion.

1 Better not to go beyond one or two months of salary, but …

An old rule indicated a challenging but not impossible value in two months’ salary. Of course, everything is in proportion to income. If a manager earns 4 thousand euros or dollars a month, a ring of 8-10 thousand euros or dollars is a possible choice. But, of course, those who earn € 1,500 a month will also struggle to reach a € 3,000 ring. Thus, the proportion of two months of salary must be maintained only if it is not to be considered an impossible effort, which weakens one’s finances. The same reasoning applies to those who receive the ring: it is better to let people know before that they do not like spending such as to force the future spouse to fall into poverty.

2 Does it make sense to ask for a loan to buy the engagement ring?

Yes, it is a possible path, provided that the loan is not paid on terms of usury. In short, everything depends on who gives you the loan and under what conditions. Some credit cards allow payment by installments, but first it is better to inquire about the actual cost (Taeg), ie of interest plus any expenses.

3 Is it necessary to choose the classical form of solitaire?

We are no longer in the twentieth century, the old rules do not even apply to jewelry. Of course, if the engagement takes place officially and in a very formal environment, then the classic form of gold or brighter platinum is advisable. But if you do not go to high society, you can easily opt for a different design, as long as it is very simple and includes a precious stone, better a diamond. Some jewelers offer rings composed of three or four small diamonds set together, which give the impression of a single stone (you can find some even in the pages of Gioiellis.com). They are a valid alternative.

4 Yellow gold or white gold?

For almost half a century, the engagement ring has almost always been offered in white gold or platinum (a little more expensive). Careful, in any case, to the quality of gold, which must be certified. In fact, white gold is nothing but yellow gold plus other metals, like silver, nickel or manganese. The light color reminds, in fact, the imminent marriage and the commitment of the future bride, once considered as a rule unlipped at the wedding.

5 How much does an engagement ring have to cost?

Given that the expense, as written above, must be proportionate to their income, there are 14 carat rings with a half carat diamond from 600 to 900 euros, with a little ‘luck even less. The weight (expressed in carats) of the diamond makes the difference. If you want to spend little, stay under 1 carat, and even half is fine. Of course, it will not be a solitaire to be shown at the Teatro alla Scala gala evening, but it will still be his figure.

6 So much yield, little expense.

A good idea is to choose rings without a single diamond, but with many small brilliants set, perhaps on the entire perimeter or almost the ring. This is no longer a solitaire, obviously, but as the size of diamonds makes the difference in terms of price, many diamonds cost less than one.

7 Are there any alternatives to diamonds?

If you do not need a super classic model, you can opt for another stone. For example, a sapphire. Or choose a zircon or a synthetic sapphire. Ok, they’re not the same thing, but if you’re not an expert you will not notice the difference. The difference, however, lies in the price: synthetic gems cost much less. However, beware: if you want to sell the ring it will be valued in proportion.

Engagement ring: 5 steps

Five things you need to know first to buy an engagement ring ♦ ︎

When you’re sure you’ve found the right woman, the one you will not regret after a few months or a few years (and you assume that after she will not regret the decision), when you’ve chosen the strategy to ask her to marry you, when you assume she says “ok”, with some tears sticking out of his eyes, means that it is time to think about the ring.

It is not something to be taken lightly. The ring will remain on her finger for the rest of her life (hopefully). And it will always remind you of the moment when you asked her if she wanted to marry you. So, it is better to make the best choice.

Unfortunately, the problem is the cost. Almost always, those who get married are also at the beginning of their working career or at least have less income than those who already have more years of job behind them. How to choose an appropriate ring? Here are five tips for making the right decision.

Damiani, Minou, anello solitario in oro bianco. Prezzo: a partire da 1490 euro

1 Decide the shape of the ring

The first decision you need to make concerns the type of ring. Ok, the classic choice is the solitaire, the band of gold with a small or large diamond. In 90% of cases it will be fine. But are you sure it’s the right choice? Maybe she don’t want a traditional jewel: there are endless variations of engagement rings, maybe not with the diamond, but with colored gemstones, like sapphires and rubies. Kate Middleton and Princess Eugenia, for example, received engagement rings with sapphires at the center. It’s a more difficult choice, but keep in mind that generally, a sapphire costs less than a diamond.

2 Decide your budget

After identifying the type of ring you are looking for, set the amount you are willing to spend. Even better is to identify a minimum and a maximum, so that the research is wider. Time ago the cost of an engagement ring was based on the monthly income. For example, anyone who earns 2,000 euros or dollars a month can buy a ring for $ 6,000, three times the monthly income. But it is a rule that few continue to follow. The cost of a marriage is high and, therefore, we must not engage in expenses that then prevent other necessary choices. There are also those on the topic involving their partner, especially if they have a lot of confidence in the matter of money. But of course this ruins the surprise and it is not said that the topic is appreciated. Given this, it is good to remember that an engagement ring is an important jewel …

3 Go in search

First, to do is consult the pages of gioiellis.com. We have talked about engagement rings in many articles: for sure you will find interesting suggestions and suggestions. Then, search on the internet: you can easily compare prices and offers from many different brands. But before buying you should go to some jewelry store (at least three) to get an idea. Seeing a ring closely is always a good idea. By the way: please note that the engagement ring will often be worn together with the wedding ring, usually the classic gold circle. So the two rings must be combined fine.

4 Check the quality

Almost always the choice for an engagement ring is that of a solitaire, gold band and diamond, or more diamonds together. In this case check the classification of the diamonds: it is from their weight and their quality that the value of the jewel is established. Diamonds are classified taking into account the four “C”. Find all the explanations here. Keep in mind, however, that you do not have to choose a diamond of the best quality, that is color D. A F or G diamond will look great too.

5 Choose the weight

A ring with a large diamond will certainly have greater success. But it is not said that it is the best choice. First of all, the weight of the diamonds is measured in carats (1 carat is equivalent to 0.2 grams) but it is not said that it corresponds to the size. It depends on the cutting of the stone: the classic is the brilliant, round cut with 58 facets. But there are shapes that make more, such as oval or pear cuts, but rarer for diamonds of small dimensions. But more than the weight, the value of the diamond is measured above all on the quality of the stone, determined in large part by the famous four “C”. What to do? A good compromise is to choose a smaller, but very good diamond, surrounded by a crown of micro-diamonds, which will make the ring brighter.

Tiffany is a brand that everyone likes, or almost. But it also has an (unfair) reputation among the male audience. A Tiffany shop is seen as a bugbear, as a place where a credit card may not be enough, where before entering you must ask for a loan from the bank. Nothing could be more wrong: there are also rings that cost a few tens of euros and can offer some satisfaction. For those who don’t know, here’s a review of really inexpensive Tiffany rings.

Engagement ring with pearl for Emma Stone

/





In 2017 she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in the film La La Land, but now Emma Stone could win the award for Hollywood’s most non-conformist ring. In fact, the actress showed off an engagement ring that mounted a pearl instead of the classic diamond. The ring is sported in a post on Instagram with her boyfriend, Dave McCary.

The ring was made by Kataoka, the Japanese brand of designer Yoshinobu Kataoka, who opened a boutique in midtown Manhattan last year. The ring has a single pearl surrounded by a crown of small diamonds on an 18 carat gold band. To be precise, Emma Stone’s engagement ring is called Pearl Snowflake Ring, the pearl is 8mm untreated Akoya quality, plus 0.37 carats of diamonds. The price, compared to the other engagement rings exhibited by many of the actress’s colleagues, is really small: 4,780 dollars.

A invisible case for ring 

/




A case for the ring that slips discreetly into the trouser pocket: it’s the idea of designer Andrew Zo, who designed Clifton ♦

It may seem like a minor issue, but for many men it is not: the size of the box containing the ring to give as a gift at the right time can be a problem. Think about it: usually the case for ring is similar to a small cube. In his pants pocket and you immediately notice and also makes a bad impression. In the inside pocket of the jacket is even worse: it seems a concealed weapon. Where to store the gift when you want to surprise your partner?

L'anello ruota
L’anello ruota

The answer comes from the packaging of designer Andrew Zo. The solution is called Clifton and is a kind of very thin envelope that contains the classic engagement ring. It can be mistaken for a portfolio, since it is often just one centimeter. The miracle is made ​​possible by the internal mechanism that rotates the ring on a small support. Sure, the invisible box has a cost: $ 99. But the surprise for those who receive the ring is guaranteed.

New Tiffany engagement rings

//





Tiffany introduces a new engagement ring: change diamond cut and platinum or gold band design ♦

When the most requested jewelry brand for engagement rings introduces something new it is an event. And it is precisely the definition for Tiffany’s new engagement rings. The American Maison renews its proposals after ten years and introduces a new type: Tiffany True. It’s the second line designed by Reed Krakoff, who succeeded Francesca Amfitheatrof as project manager in February 2017. It is called True because the intention is to show the true beauty of a diamond thanks to a particular cut and the new setting of the stone. The metal band is designed to better filter the light and accentuate the reflections of the diamond.

Seen in profile, the ring also shows a T that blocks the diamond and allows you to limit the prongs that stop the stone to four.

Obviously the T refers to Tiffany, but also to True. The ring is offered with a platinum band with a colorless True-cut diamond, or in 18 carat yellow gold with a yellow cushion cut diamond. With this design the diamond is also lower, that is closer to the finger than the classic model. To be added that also gold and diamond are ethically certified, as is required now and that the stones are of the best quality. You like it? You have to be patient: the Tiffany True rings will arrive in stores in the fall in North America and in the world in 2019. Giulia Netrese

Rings for asymmetrics bridal




The asymmetric rings of the British designer (awarded at Couture 2016) Polly Wales ♦

Are you getting married? You have an engagement you want to seal with a jewel? Take a look at the designer who in 2016 won the Couture Awards in Las Vegas for the bridal category: Polly Wales. If you like her jewelry, you can also buy them online (the headquarters of the Maison are in the UK). Designer and owner of the brand that bears her name, says she prefers an natural “imperfect beauty ” to the  mass produced jewelry. Polly studied jewelery at the Royal College of Art, in London, and before that she was focusing on sculpture. But the jewels, she explains, have enabled her to get in touch directly with people. Her style? It’s a mix that also includes Byzantine and Indian jewelry. The shapes of the rings, even the engagement and wedding ones, are slightly irregular, and small stones embedded in the metal are arranged without always having the usual symmetry. But this doesn’t make them seem less valuable: white, yellow or pink gold is matched with sapphires, diamonds and rubies. And even the solitaires are rather original. Margherita Donato

Express ring with Recarlo

/





With the renewed Anniversary collection, Recarlo invents the express ring, made to measure in 24 hours ♦ ︎
Among the many innovations of Recarlo for the spring of 2018 there is one that is probably very welcome for those who want (or must) give the classic ring for declaration, anniversary or engagement. One of the choices offered by Recarlo, which in this sector of jewelry is an authority, is the Anniversary collection. It is a ring that on the whole white gold band has a row of diamonds stopped by four small griffe. Not only that: on the side of the metal band there are small hearts, to underline the sentimental destination of the jewel.
But the real news is another: Recarlo, thanks to a Habsburg organization of its production, offers customers the opportunity to choose a veretta in the carat and the desired size and take it home or get it at the latest within 24 hours. The rings, in fact, are not all the same: they vary not only the size, but also the carats (ie weight) of the stones, the diamonds, which make up the jewel. If, therefore, the ring with the desired carat (and the consequent price) or the measure, which goes from 8 to 18, is not immediately available, you can choose and then spend the next day to collect the jewel.
Yes, but how much do the rings of the Anniversary collection cost? Here are some examples of prices: with diamonds for 1 carat 2400 euros, from 1.60 carats 3740 euros, from 2.05 carats 5050 euros. A richer ring with 4.40 carats costs euros 15,250.

Harry’s ring for Meghan

/




The engagement ring from Prince Harry to Meghan. And the jewels of the British royal family ♦ ︎
It is official: Prince Harry, 32, will marry Meghan Markle, 36 years old. Wedding sets for the spring of 2018. The couple, as they have told all the media, is not traditional. Divorced she, with her ancestors for nothing of blue blood, while he is sixth in the scale of possible future kings of England, and he is younger. After the wedding of Kate Middleton and William, therefore, the lights are ready to illuminate the next princely marriage. With many questions. For example, which jewelry Meghan Markle will be able to compete with Kate? The game has just started. Cambridge’s Duchess, when he was engaged to William, received a sapphire ring, made by London’s jeweler Garrard, who belonged to the groom’s mother, Diana. Meghan, on the other hand, to her first official Harry promised wedding release, showed a ring made using a diamond from Botswana (where the couple was on vacation) accompanied by two other diamonds from Diana’s personal collection. In short, this is something that connects the future Harry Windsor with the groom’s mother.

Real estate
In short, that is the official engagement ring. In family patrimony, however, in the future Harry could find other jewels. Another family ring, for example, belongs to Princess Margaret, who has a ruby ​​surrounded by diamonds in the center, made by Anthony Armstrong-Jones. There are, of course, many other alternatives in real estate. The Queen Mother, who died in 2002, had two engagement rings. The first was a large gold sapphire, later replaced by a pearl surrounded by diamonds in the 1950s.
Windsor’s rings
With a jump back in time, one could remember another wedding between a real British and an American womand, Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. The king immediately after abdicating gave Wallis (even her divorced) an emerald ring of 19.77 carats. The jewel engraved the words “We are now 27 X 36”, referring to October 27, 1936, the date Wallis obtained his second divorce. The ring belonging to Wallis Simpson was however sold in 1987 for 1, 8 million pounds to a Japanese businessman.
Queen Elizabeth often wears an impressive square cut diamond designed by Prince Phillip. The diamond comes from his mother’s tiara: it is difficult to surrender to Meghan. Yet another ring that is not available is that which belongs to Camilla, wife of Charles, father of Harry. It is an Art Deco ring that formerly belonged to Queen Mother.
Meghan’s jewels
Like Kate Middleton, however, Meghan Markle also loves wearing too precious jewels. For example, in recent years he often wore jewels to a young Australian designer, Natalie Marie, based in Sydney. Natalie sent that to a few months ago was a mere actress some jewels and Meghan posted them on her Instagram account many times with thanksgiving. Margherita Donato

Bliss makes Lumina between him and her

/




The Bliss Lumina jewelery line: white gold and diamonds for engagement or marriage (and not only) ♦ ︎
When it comes to classics, it means something that lasts over time, which has already been appreciated, which can be re-proposed because it will be valid even in later years. This is the case for the Bliss Classic Line, which is part of the bridal line, and is intended to offer jewelery from universally accepted modes such as solitaire ring, but at an affordable price. In short, the classic jewelery for engagement or marriage. The Classic Line consists of three different collections. The most large is Lumina, now proposed with a new frame that captures a stone embedded. The frame is in 18 carat gold. Lumina also includes particularly elaborate rings, with diamonds running even wrapped around the curved jewel of the jewel. It is a complete jewelery line that, in addition to the rings, also includes spot light earrings and pendant necklaces, always centered on the brightness of the stone. On the other hand, the name of the collection leaves no room for doubt: the objective, achieved, is to tame the light, let it pass through the worn jewels and reflect it. Margherita Donato

Every filmmaker has interpreted the fateful moment of the ring statement in a different way: there are those who chose the classic romantic atmosphere, who used a bit of humor, who opted for the surprise.
