Wedding Rings Guide

• Which wedding band style is right for me? Many people really do enjoy the look, feel and extra heft of the comfort-fit styles. Some people however find a less thick ring more comfortable. Flat and half round rings sometimes cost less, since they often weigh less. Ultimately the design and feel usually wins you over.
• How wide should my wedding band be? This is obviously a personal choice. Taste, hand size, comfort fit and other concerns affect how wide your ring should be. 4mm to 8mm is common for men, with 5mm or 6mm perhaps the most popular. Women may choose a narrower design, especially if it is fitting next to an engagement ring. Sometimes the lady prefers a ring much wider than the man's. Ring with edges may seem "visually slimmer" than their actual width. Some people are sensitive to the alloys mixed in their jewelry and have allergic reactions. If you have had any problems of that sort you may want to consider a narrower ring. Wider ring tends to hold moisture, soap and cosmetics that can bother sensitive skin. Comfort fit ring tends to "breathe" better than flat or half round ring.
• What wedding ring size are you this month? That's right, we are changing all the time. Over the many years we have been serving our friends we have learned that it's often wise to measure yourself more than once if possible. We have seen people change by almost half a ring size while they are sitting in front of our case trying on ring. Everyone is unique, but most of us gain about a half ringh size in the summer over our winter ring size.
• Wedding Band Manufacturing Education: Our platinum ring is not combined with any 14k or 18k gold, are drop-forged die struck. This is the manufacturing process used to create our wedding ring styles of half round, inside round/comfort fit, milgrain and flat. Our rings that combine platinum with 18k yellow gold are individually cast and then permanently fused together.
• Wedding Band Ring Size: In Millimeters, International Ring Sizes? Any local jeweler should have finger sizers for you to try on, ideally a wide set if you are planning to buy a wide ring, and a narrow set for a narrow ring. We also have assembled an international ring size chart for countries covering Europe and Asia. View Details.
• Wedding Band Polish: Brush Finish: This is a texturing technique used on jewelry metals where a series of tiny parallel lines are scratched on the surface with a wire brush to give a brush finish. Matte Finish: Wire brush polishing, yields a smooth, but less shiny finish. Matte Finish has a soft, semi-reflective appearance. A frosted, non-shiny surface effect. Satin Finish has a soft brushed, lustrous appearance. It is like a brushed finish, but finer grain than matte. The ultra-fine brush lines hide minor scratches better than the other finishes.
• Sterling Silver Wedding Band: Pure silver, also called fine silver, is relatively soft, very malleable, and easily damaged so it is commonly combined with other metals to produce a more durable product. The most popular of these alloys is sterling silver, which consists of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Although any metal can make up the 7.5 percent non-silver portion of sterling, centuries of experimentation have shown copper to be its best companion, improving the metal's hardness and durability without affecting its beautiful color.
