How to choose
The most touching moment in the life of every girl is considered to be a marriage proposal, after which the future spouses will have to start preparing for the wedding and choosing wedding rings.To date, it is not difficult to choose the appropriate model of rings, since their choice is large.
In order to purchase original comfortable and beautiful rings, you need to know some nuances, namely:
First of all, before buying, it is recommended to decide first of all on preferences. Modern models of wedding rings are made of platinum, silver, white or yellow gold. Products can be small and massive, decorated with precious stones. When choosing classic wedding rings, you need to think about their thickness and shape. As for the profile, it can be different.
Comfort and practicality are also considered an important characteristic in choosing wedding rings. The jewelry should fit the size of the finger, not squeeze or fly off. In addition, when buying a ring of complex models with many stones, you need to remember that it can cling to clothes and cause a lot of inconvenience. You can not buy wedding rings back to back, because in the heat the thickness of the finger tends to expand, and to narrow in the cold. Before trying on the rings, it is not recommended to drink a lot of liquid, due to possible swelling, the size of the product will be determined incorrectly.
When choosing wedding rings, you must also pay attention to the gold standard. Products that are made of 585 samples are considered durable, as for the 750 sample, such rings have a bright appearance, but are less durable. In order for the wedding ring to look beautiful on the finger, it is necessary to take into account such a nuance - for large fingers, it is best to select products of medium thickness, and for small, elegant fingers, miniature products are suitable.
Engraving
After classic wedding rings are selected and purchased, they can be supplemented with commemorative inscriptions, thus giving some originality. For this, engraving is used. Thanks to the engraving, not only the dates of the wedding or wedding are applied to the rings, but also different words and symbols.
There are several types of engraving:
- machine. Allows you to make inscriptions on rings using classic fonts. These labels are high quality and easy to read.
- Manual. In this type of engraving, ligature inscriptions are used, which look very elegant.
Before starting the engraving, you need to know what type of metal the wedding rings are made of. So, products made of pure gold (950) are not recommended for engraving, this metal is too soft and any inscriptions can be erased over time. The most suitable option for this may be wedding rings of 585 or 750 samples. Such gold alloys are the most durable, so the inscriptions on the rings will last for a long time.
Care
In order for wedding rings to retain their original attractive appearance, they need proper care. Platinum rings deserve special attention, they are easily subjected to mechanical stress, scratches and dents can remain on them. Therefore, doing homework, it is best to remove such rings for a while.
In the event that wedding rings are dirty, they can be washed in a special solution of soap and ammonia. Gold-plated rings can also be cleaned, but this is not recommended often. As for wedding rings made of silver, it is recommended to wash them in soda solutions, and then rub them with a suede cloth.
