Good question! Picking your ring metal is important, influencing looks, price, maintenance and care. Couples may choose to buy matching or contrasting rings.
Platinum: The rarest of all available precious metals but also the strongest, whitest, and most durable.
White Gold: An alloy of yellow gold, mixed with white metal to deliver a shine comparable to platinum.
Yellow Gold: The most traditional of all wedding band metals. A timeless metal owing to its precious nature and rarity.
Palladium: Extremely popular amongst budding grooms, a member of the platinum family but 1/3 of the price.
Rose Gold: One of the trendiest metals of modern days, formulated using gold mixed with copper alloys and silver to deliver that lovely pink-red hue.
Silver: The most common of all precious metals, easier to source and a lot cheaper to buy.
The half-set ring has recently started to create much more of a statement than a full set eternity ring. In the 1960’s the De Beer diamond manufacturers created the concept of the full-set eternity ring, and ever since has become an essential gift for husbands to present to their wives on a particular anniversary. The most recent date is to celebrate their first happy year of marriage, however the choice is down to which year you believe is most significant.
Over the past 50 years, the styles and types of eternity rings you find are endless, as they are a personal statement of happiness and unity that should match the character and personality of it’s owner. A recent trend is the half set ring, in which diamonds are set across half of the band as opposed to a full set.
This trend has allowed many women to meet the quality and style of their engagement and wedding rings without upstaging or mismatching them. It also demonstrates a lighter fit as it does not contain as many diamonds, which makes it much more comfortable to wear.
These rings are available in a variety of metals types and sizes, so you have more ways than ever to personalize and create the perfect ring.
