The 10 most worn rings

Published on March 21, 2024

Which ring to choose? Each shape of this jewel has its own meaning and its own name. Read what are the 10 kind of rings most worn and what they symbolize ♦

There are many types of rings: there are not only those for engagement or marriage. The shape of a ring also depends on which finger of the hand to wear it or on which occasion is more appropriate, because many types of rings also have a symbolic meaning. Not surprisingly, jewelers offer their rings with a precise definition, such as eternity, trilogy, solitaire, cocktail … Here are the 10 most requested ring models and what the different shapes of this jewel mean.

1 Solitaire. It is the most popular and popular engagement ring: it has a diamond mounted on its own, with no other stones around it, on a metal band. Symbolic meaning: one diamond, one love. The stem can be in gold, most of the time white, or platinum, very rarely in silver or titanium. The solitaire ring symbolizes the commitment of a woman who agrees to marry the man who gives her the jewel. But, worn over time, it remains the sign of exclusive love. The solitaire can also be worn after marriage, together with the wedding band.

2 Eternity. Ring with a metal band (usually white gold) and a continuous line of gems (usually diamonds, but they are also offered with different stones, such as emeralds, rubies or sapphires). As the name indicates, eternity symbolizes love that never ends. It is a ring often given by a husband to his wife on an anniversary, usually after ten years of marriage. If the diamonds set do not follow the entire circumference, but only a part (also to make it more comfortable to wear), it is also defined as half-eternity. But in this case the concept is the same: eternal love (and even a minor expense).

3 Wedding ring. It is the classic wedding ring, the most used. It is characterized by a usually smooth metal, most often yellow gold. The width is variable, it depends on your tastes. The ring offers the possibility to engrave the wedding date or the name of the wife or husband inside. Introduced by the ancient Romans, the wedding ring symbolizes the commitment made to marriage. The wedding ring is generally worn on the left hand on the ring finger, while in Central-Eastern Europe, and also in the Iberian Peninsula (except Catalonia), it is used to put it on the right.

4 Toi et Moi. It is a ring with two similar, but not necessarily the same, stones set facing each other. A contrast, but also a union of two different personalities, which complement each other. It is a ring that symbolizes a close relationship between two people. Giving this ring as a gift is a bit like saying: always carry me with you. It is also a ring that allows designers and jewelers to test their imagination: rings of this type can be made with two simple stones, or with the choice of bold combinations.

5 Phalanx ring. This ring has a smaller diameter than a normal ring: in fact, it is worn on the first or second phalanx of the finger. Used in antiquity, it is back in fashion now. But you need to pay attention to the size: it must be the right size so as not to risk losing it. It is usually very thin, light, often made of metal only, without stones.

6 Trinity. Ring designed by Cartier in 1924 and heavily imitated. It consists of three different metal bands of different colors and with different symbologies: pink gold indicates love, yellow gold is chosen as a sign of fidelity (because it recalls the wedding ring) and, finally, white gold signals friendship. The three metal bands intersect to form a single ring. Much appreciated especially by young people. It is also proposed with some variations, for example, with the use of stones set in the metal.

7 Trilogy. Not to be confused with the trinity ring. The trilogy ring indicates a metal band with three stones mounted, usually diamonds. It looks like a solitaire ring, but multiplied by three. The meaning? Well, if you search on Google you will find quite a few. But the real thing is: my dear, I can’t spend on one large diamond ring, but with three small ones I get (almost) the same effect. And that’s right.

8 Ring with secret. In fashion in the Middle Ages (they were also used to hide poison), they are now small and complex works of art. This type of ring came back into fashion in the Victorian era, because the secret compartment could be used to hold a message, a small portrait of the lover, or a symbol. It sounds unbelievable, but at that time there were no messages on Whastapp. They are bulky rings and the secret compartment today often reserves surprises.

9 Cocktail ring. Born during the years of Prohibition in the United States, these were worn by women at banned alcohol-based parties. Large, showy, with colored stones, they are afternoon or early evening rings. They symbolize, as the name indicates, the desire to have fun and a little to transgress. Given the size and bright colors, however, they are not easy to match with the dress.

10 Halo. The name indicates a ring with a diamond or other central stone and a crown of smaller gems around it. It is a gimmick of jewelry designers that serves to increase the visual impact of the stones, without having to resort to a larger and more expensive gem. It is a type of setting widely used for both demanding and less expensive rings.

Solitaire ring, or simply solitaire. It is the most requested, desired and gifted engagement ring model in the world. But how much do you know about the solitaire ring?

What is a solitaire? This name indicates a ring, which usually seals the engagement, formed by a metal band in gold, platinum or silver, on which a diamond is mounted. However, nothing prevents you from giving a solitaire ring even on an occasion other than an engagement: the combination of gold and diamond is always appreciated.

What does the solitaire ring indicate? The habit of giving an engagement ring as a gift has a clear symbolic meaning: whoever receives it has a marriage commitment. In short, it is as if he were wearing a sign addressed to any suitors with the words: “Don’t try it with me, I already agree with someone else”. In most Western countries, the solitaire ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand. But there are exceptions.

Is solitaire worn after marriage? Of course yes. The diamond ring does not end up in the drawer, but it can also be worn together with the wedding ring. Usually the solitaire is tucked outside the wedding ring, a symbol of marriage. It would be better, however, that both rings were with gold of the same color: white, yellow or pink.

History. The story of the solitaire ring coincides with that of the engagement ring and then the wedding ring. It seems that the habit of giving the ring as a gift was introduced by the ancient Romans, as a public sign of the status of an already committed woman. But the diamonds? In the Renaissance, rings were introduced with a stone mounted on the outside of the gold band and not set inside. It seems that the first was the one, in 1477, made for the betrothal of Archduke Maximilian of Austria to Maria of Burgundy, who launched a fashion that continues to this day. Diamond rings, however, spread among the rich and noble in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the large-scale extraction of gems from the first mines in South Africa. The mass boom, however, is quite recent. It can be said that the habit of giving the solitaire ring as a gift really spread after the 1947 advertising campaign of De Beers, a large diamond distributor. “A diamond is forever”: the message that accompanied that advertisement, together with the economic well-being achieved after the end of the Second World War, changed everything. Before the Second World War, for example, in America only 10% of engagement rings had a diamond, today giving a diamond ring is quite common.

Shape. A solitaire is a very simple jewel: it is made up of a metal band, mostly gold, and a diamond. In most cases the diamond is round, that is, it has a brilliant cut. For rings with a diamond of this type there are two types of mounting: with four or six prongs, that is, those small metal hooks that hold the diamond. Of course, with six prongs there is greater safety: it is more difficult for the stone to get lost due to a collision with a piece of furniture or an object. On the other hand, four prongs allow a greater amount of light to reach the diamond which, therefore, can sparkle more. For the solitaire, the most used metal is white gold, but there are also versions in yellow and pink gold. Another very popular option is the platinum ring. Silver, on the other hand, is usually associated with synthetic stones, such as cubic zirconia: not exactly an unforgettable option for an engagement ring.

Ring with diamond: 10 rules to keep it well

The 10 rules to keep your diamond ring sparkling and perfect ♦ ︎

The diamond ring is the classic jewel that gives itself for engagement or some other important occasion. In short, it is a jewel more special than the others. Unfortunately, however, it can get damaged over time. That’s why care and attention are needed for your diamond ring. If you want to have a ring always shiny and clean, sparkling as when you received it (or purchased) read these 10 simple rules.

1 Beware of creams. First of all give time to creams, moisturizers, soaps and cosmetic products in general to be absorbed by the skin before wearing your ring. The reason is that cosmetics contain substances that can ruin the brilliance of the metal: they are enemies of jewelry.

2 Wear the ring last. Wear the ring only after you have completed the clothing: in this way you will prevent the diamond from becoming entangled in clothing while putting it on. It happens, in fact, that the diamond can come out of the setting if it attaches to a crease or an eyelet of the dress while you are wearing it. In this case there is also the risk of losing the stone, especially if it is very small: it can slip into who knows where and lose it forever.

3 Danger of house cleaning. Cleaning the house makes the environment healthier, but it can ruin your ring. Chemicals and bumps are enemies of your jewelry, especially diamond rings. If you need to wash the dishes, place the ring on a dry shelf away from detergents. Two drops of liquid detergent occasionally cannot ruin your ring with brilliant, but in the long run they can make the metal dull. Also, in housework it is easy to hit the ring against furniture or other surfaces that can even chip the stone. Of course, diamond is the hardest natural material that exists, but it is not indestructible.

4 No sport, watch out for the sea. But only when you wear your ring. Gardening or playing a sport are excellent activities, but they can damage or dirty the jewel. Between a bezel and the stone, or between the prongs that hold the diamond in place, dirt can easily nest, like the earth in the case of gardening. Not to mention the impacts that the ring can suffer when practicing sports. Does the diamond ring get damaged by sea water? A swim in the sea can leave traces of salt: if you have been imprudent enough to throw yourself into the water with a diamond ring, rinse it immediately in fresh water. Among other things, in contact with cold water, the fingers of the hand tend to decrease in volume and the risk of the year slipping out while swimming.

5 Stay awake. It is best not to sleep when wearing a diamond ring. During sleep, in fact, the metal can be inadvertently deformed: you cannot control the movements of your body in bed (especially if you have a restless sleep). The prongs that clamp the diamond on top of your ring are quite delicate: they can hold the stone, but not if they are subjected to a pressure of several kilos (even if you are thin, the ring still suffers). It is better to remember to remove the ring and put it in its case. Better still if you give him a clean first.

6 Purchase a magnifying glass. It is a great idea if you want to be aware of the conditions of your favorite jewel. Buy a good magnifying glass and carefully observe the wear and tear of the metal and the setting of the diamond, or the prongs (the claws that tighten the stone), which must be perfectly firm and in their original form. If you notice any problems, take the ring to the jeweler immediately. Better to correct a possible defect immediately.

7 A solitaire is happy alone. The single diamond ring is also called solitaire. It is a good reason to keep it alone, in its own box or case. In fact, if mixed with other jewels, the ring can easily be scratched, especially if it comes into contact with other hard stones: such as diamonds and rubies. In addition, the diamond ring is also a special symbol of affection, an anniversary, a happy moment. In short, your ring has the right to special treatment.

8 Grab it by the tail. It is a saying: we have never met a ring with a tail (although there are jewelers who indulge themselves in ring with strange shapes). We mean that when you lift the ring try not to grab it where the diamond is set, but take the golden circle between your fingers: the diamond so the stone will not be in contact with the fat of the skin, which tarnishes the brightness of the stone . In addition, you will not run the risk of deforming the most delicate part of the jewel, which serves to hold the stone firm.

9 Clean it! Clean it! Clean it! A diamond is forever, but dust also tends to remain with you for eternity. Inside, between the prongs and the stone, or in the bezel: day after day in your jewel grains of unwanted material accumulate. In addition to damaging the jewel, the (almost) invisible dirt can also create health problems, because it can hide dangerous viruses or bacilli. So, the diamond ring must be cleaned regularly, the ideal is once a week (if you always wear it): just a bowl of water and a few drops of detergent, as we have already explained here.

10 Every now and then, bring him back to his home. Which house? The jewelry, of course. If you really care about your ring and if you wear it frequently, it would be good to take it to the jeweler once a year for an overhaul and a thorough cleaning, maybe even for a rhodium-plating of the metal (the patina that makes the gold shiny and which tends to wear out over time). The jeweler will quickly return your shiny ring as you received it the first time, perhaps even eliminating any scratches on the metal.

Diamonds multiplied by Six with Recarlo

Published on July 7, 2022

Rings/COLLANE

The solitaire diamond attached to the shank of the ring by means of six prongs was an innovation that made it possible to increase the light reflected by the stone, thanks to the open bezel, compared to the traditional four (but thicker) prong setting. An idea that Recarlo has adopted for the Six line, the latest addition to the Anniversary collection. The Six Line does not only include rings, but also earrings and necklaces. It should also be added that the proposed diamond rings are not all the same. Alongside the classic white gold circle with the brilliant cut diamond on top, there are also jewels with a less traditional design.

For example, there is a ring with a spiral stem covered with a pavé of diamonds, with a 1.5-carat stone, which constitutes the top of the range of the line. Or there is a variation of the eternity theme available. Other proposals involve three-stone solitaires and a five-stone ring. The collection also consists of two chokers: a light point with the same setting as the solitaires and a cross studded with diamonds, and with earrings in the same style.

The 10 jewels that every woman should have

What are the jewels that every woman should have? Here are the ten jewels to close in the drawer: sooner or later they will be the right ones to wear ♦ ︎

There are items of clothing that every woman must have ready in the closet: a dark dress for the evening, a suit of jacket and skirt / pants for formal occasions, a silk handkerchief to wipe away the tears in front of the last romantic movie. In the same way, there are jewels that should not be missing in the box from which in the morning you choose what to wear. Of course, there are jewels that go well every day, not binding: to go to the office or go shopping, for a walk or drink tea with friends. But there are many occasions in life when, often, a jewel makes the difference. So, before buying another jewel, read this article. Here are the ten jewels that can not miss in your collection.

1 Cocktail ring

Large, showy, colorful: these rings are so called because they wore at the years of Prohibition, in America. Women were also secretly drinking cocktails (and not only), and they accentuated the transgression by wearing very showy rings. Even today on the occasion of a party, a moment of sociability, celebrations (but not in official ceremonies) are indicated cocktail rings, which are noticed even when the atmosphere is crisp and confusing.

2 Hoop earrings

In gold, simple: the hoop earrings are among the oldest jewels, but if they still like today there is a reason. The round earrings, in fact, are good for any occasion and practically with every clothing. But, be careful: the size and the thickness of the earrings must be well proportioned to the size and shape of the visa. A pair of large earrings worn by a small woman of stature and with a round face, will seem hopelessly disproportionate. In contrast, very small hoop earrings, which just surround the earlobe, will be little appreciated on a very long face, perhaps on a woman with a height above the average.

3 Earrings with diamonds

Well yes: the simple diamond stud earrings, worn together with a dark suit, an evening dress, are a touch that makes a perfect gala dinner, but also an official occasion, in which you have to look elegant. An advantage of these earrings is that the diamonds are a little less visible than those mounted on a ring or necklace. You can also choose stones of a mediocre quality: hardly anyone will notice it.

4 Necklace with pendant

Sooner or later a necklace with pendant finds its ideal location: the dress with or without neckline, but which is enhanced thanks to the jewel. The pendant, however, must be appropriate: not too big, with the risk of turning into a pendulum when walking. But not too small to be almost invisible. A necklace pendant must have a shape that remains etched, it is noted, without being bizarre. One idea is to collect pendants with the same subject (a flower, an animal, a ring).

5 Cuff bracelet

A bracelet that covers the wrist can become the winning idea when wearing a shirt or a shirt without sleeves or with short sleeves. Enhance the arms, hands and probably even the bank account of the jeweler who sells it. Yes, because the bracelet is a special piece: if it is not excellent it risks becoming a jewel that weighs down, cluttered, out of place. A tip: even if the cuff is a gem to have, do not buy it if you have big wrists. In that case it is better to stay on very thin and light bracelets.

6 Pearl necklace

Exact: a pearl necklace. That classic, timeless, boring string of pearls. Do you think you will never wear it? Mistake. Will arrives a day when the line of simple pearls, not too small and not too big, solves the problem of the jewel-dress combination. On a shirt and blue jeans, on a gray or blue suit, on a fancy dress: a string of pearls never disappoints, especially if you have to present yourself with a certain elegance. Okay, maybe it’s not a necklace you’ll wear every day, but a pearl necklace is like a lifeboat donut: it’s necessary.

7 The sautoir

In other words, a thin and long, very long necklace with one or more turns. The sautoir had its moment of glory in the twenties of the last century, and then repeatedly came back into fashion, until it became a classic jewel. You can decide your own style, but a sautoir in gold, with small stones or pearls, is a gem worth two. In the sense that a long sautoir can be rolled around the wrist to be easily transformed into a bracelet. Remember, however, that the sautoir lengthens the appearance of the body. If you are already tall and thin lean a sautoir could harm your look.

8 Solitaire

If you have already got it, you already have it. But if no one proposed marriage to you while holding a white gold ring with a small or large diamond, then it is appropriate that you provide by yourself. Showing off a solitaire ring, that is, with a single gleaming diamond, is not just an aesthetic choice: it is a message to the competition. When it is time, sometimes it is necessary to let people know that there are people in the world who want you, so much so that they commit themselves to pay a substantial sum to buy a diamond ring and give it to you.

9 Brooch

Ok, until recently, brooch was synonymous with grandma. It was a past fashion jewel, which tasted of old. It’s not like that anymore. From some years the brooch has rightly returned to the necessary jewels. A dress a little anonymous can reborn thanks to a fun and precious brooch. Animals, flowers, emoji: the choice is free, provided that the jewel is not of little value, but that witnesses a good goldsmith’s ability of those who created it.

10 Chain necklace

As old as the world, as young as the many stars that wear it: a simple gold chain is a solution to complete many outfits. But when one says chain, one does not indicate a single, precise jewel: in reality there are many different types and it is necessary to choose the one that best suits one’s style and, above all, the shape of the body. The short, heavy chains with wide rings are not recommended for those who do not have adequate height and a long form. Thinner and longer, but without exaggeration, for women who are less tall. Pay attention to the weight: the chains of the past became rather annoying if worn for a long time. Today, however, it is easier to find little heavy.

A solitaire Tiffany. For him

Rings/Tiffany/Showroom

A solitaire. But for men. Times change and Tiffany adapts. The great American Maison pushes on the accelerator of the jewelry dedicated to him, with a look at Ltgb weddings. The ring for men also has a name: The Charles Tiffany Setting and is, explains Tiffany, the first men’s engagement ring with an important solitaire diamond. The ring takes its name from the founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, who in 1886 introduced the Tiffany Setting, that is the solitaire with the stone stopped by six (thinner) prongs instead of four. At that time, however, the solitaire was reserved only for young brides.

The Charles Tiffany Setting pays homage to this romantic Tiffany & Co. legacy of love and inclusion. These, however, are engagement rings that deviate from the usual wedding band. The rings are in platinum and titanium, with a shape reminiscent of the chevalier model worn on the little finger. The first edition of the Charles Tiffany Setting will be available with brilliant-cut and emerald-cut diamonds up to 5 carats. The models with brilliant-cut diamonds are characterized by a tapered and thin band, inspired by that of the iconic Tiffany Setting, while in the emerald-cut diamond rings the edges are solid, rounded, architectural.

Also in this case, the New York brand underlines, the stones used are subject to traceability for the entire processing path: region or countries of origin of the diamond and in which it was cut and polished, classified and subjected to quality control. , as well as mounted on the jewel, can be requested from any sales person and will also be printed on the Tiffany Diamond Certificate.

Jewels for queens, certified by family tree, or simply women who are considered as such by their partner. Perhaps thinking about this concept Annamaria Cammilli proposes the Royale jewelry line. But without giving up the aesthetic characteristics that distinguish the production of the Tuscan Maison: the sinuous waves in different colors of gold (Annamaria Cammilli boasts eight different shades). Even the metal retains the particular velvety satin finish, alternating with small shiny surfaces, which accentuates the visual softness of the jewel.

Furthermore, a single diamond creeps into the gold waves which, for example, helps to reinterpret the concept of solitaire. Gems of considerable weight are used, ranging from 0.5 to 1 carat. In addition to the rings, the Royale line also includes necklaces with pendants and earrings, always made with soft lines and a single diamond in the middle. The gold shades chosen are orange, white (for the earrings), yellow, lava black.

Van Cleef & Arpels shows Jasmin, new solitaire

Published on February 21, 2020

Rings/Showroom

An engagement ring or a wedding ring are the symbol of a promise that lasts over time: and it is this message that Van Cleef & Arpels entrusts to the history of its jewels.

The Parisian Maison has summarized the history, evolution (with a new ring) and style of its creations or, more precisely, of the engagement rings and wedding rings. A story that starts in 1895 in the heart of Paris, with the marriage of Estelle Arpels, daughter of a precious stones trader, and Alfred Van Cleef, son of a gem cutter. In 1906, at number 22 of place Vendôme, the Maison Van Cleef & Arpels unites these two names in a common destiny under the banner of jewelry. Since then, as a sort of immutable link, the logogram & symbolizes this union of souls and skills.

For diamonds, as for sapphires, rubies or emeralds, Van Cleef & Arpels seeks, in fact, not only excellence, but also character. In addition to the absolute criteria, a meeting occurs, a secret alchemy capable of awakening the senses. In particular, with Le Pierres de Caractère (which is a brand of the Maison).

Legendary couples
From the pearl and diamond set offered to Princess Grace of Monaco as a wedding gift to the solitaire adorned with a fabulous 8.25 carat ruby given by Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor in 1968, from the famous ruby and diamond necklace of the Duchess of Windsor who has the inscription “My Wallis from her David, 19.VI.1936” on the clasp, at the Océan set made for Princess Charlène of Monaco for the wedding in 2011: many famous couples have turned to the Maison in order to celebrate the highlights of their love.

The Rings
Each creation benefits from Van Cleef & Arpels’ High Jewelery experience, handed down for over a century by the Mains d’Or (another brand of the Maison) of its ateliers. This competence is expressed through a succession of meticulously hand-made gestures. And this also applies to collections of wedding and solitaire rings.
The Icône and Couture solitaires wrap the central stone in a tender embrace, while the Perlée and Estelle rings are punctuated by a profile of gold or platinum pearls. Bonheur and Romance creations sublimate the beauty of the diamond thanks to a feminine and timeless aesthetic. The gems also shine on the unique solitaires, evoking the bond with your loved one through the caress of a volute or a precious petal.

The new Jasmin solitaire
Bonheur, Jasmin, Icône, Romance, Menuet, Entrelacs, Motifs Pétales or Boucle: the different frames allow to highlight the Pierres de Caractère selected by the Maison. The new Jasmin Solitaire is part of these criteria of jeweler excellence. Inspired by the jasmine flower, a symbol of love and beauty, this model with a delicate curvilinear trend is adorned with marquise-cut diamonds to evoke a poetic nature. The solitaire is made of platinum, rose gold, a cushion cut ruby of 5.02 carat (Thailand), round cut diamonds and shuttles.

Customization
In order to easily combine the engagement ring with the wedding ring, the Maison has conceived its creations so that they harmonize with practicality and elegance. If some models (Romance, Couture, Perlée, Estelle) are made on purpose, others offer numerous combinations to future spouses. The ensembles can, in fact, be composed according to their own personality: classic and timeless or modern and daring. Playing on the width of the rings, combining simplicity with the brilliance of diamonds, combining gold pearls: the possibilities are manifold. The Maison also offers future spouses the opportunity to customize each engagement or wedding ring through an exclusive engraving.

Stop fake rings with diamonds sold like Tiffany, super penalty for Costco ♦ ︎
The fake Tiffany were definitely convicted. Now (hopefully) no one will fall into the trap of the American wholesaler Costco, who had sold solitaire rings, that is, in white gold with diamonds stuck by six griffes. A set that is an invention of the American Maison. Not only that, Costco had sold 2,500 pieces with the Tiffany label, arguing that the name was by and large synonymous with a style. A court ruling in October 2016 sentenced Costco to pay $ 5.5 million in compensation and 8.25 million in punitive damages. Not happy, Costco had appealed. Now comes the final decision, even more severe: Costco has to pay an even bigger amount: $ 19.4 million for violating the Tiffany & Co trademark and the compensation has been increased to 11.1 million. A strict ruling, given the price to pay, is far superior to the material damage, but it serves as a warning to those who falsify brands. Perhaps Europe should take as an example. Federico Graglia

The collection Isabella by Recarlo: diamond rings for engagement, wedding or anniversary, pendant and earrings ♦
Isabella marries Recarlo. But it’s not a young promise of marriage. Isabella is the name of the collection of the Valenza company which is dedicated, in particular, to wedding, engagement, anniversaries. In short, this is the classic gem with brilliant cut diamond solitaire or trilogy. The ring, in this case, has been revisited in the form: the stem is crossed by three tiny grooves in the vicinity of diamonds and a wave form that makes it seem soft metal. But the collection also includes earrings and necklace with pendant.
Another feature is the ability to choose from two different colors for the gold: white, pink, or together in combination. We mentioned trilogy. But, in reality, there is also a ring with five diamonds rivière in succession, for those who love to abound. The price obviously depends primarily on the number of gems on the jewel. In principle, prices ranging from € 1,400 for a ring with a single diamond, up to € 7,000 for one with five stones. Lavinia Andorno
