Hardness, assuring long lasting beauty. The tungsten carbide ring takes a brilliant high polish, like a mirror, and resist scratching longer than any metal ever offered to the public. Roughly ten times harder than 18k gold and four times harder than Titanium. When Tungsten is processed with carbon and other elements it is transformed into Tungsten Carbide,WC, between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, which is what most Tungsten rings are made of.

You may think you're an expert at spotting fake jewels, but with some of the new diamond facsimiles on the market, even a jeweler might not be able to spot the imposters.
1.Ask if the stone is a genuine diamond or if it is a cubic zirconia, moissanite or other synthetic substance. A reputable jeweler will give you an honest answer.
2.Look at the setting and mount. Since stones such as cubic zirconia are so much cheaper than diamonds, they are sometimes set in inferior metals.
3.Check the wear and tear on the stone. A cubic zirconia is not as durable as a diamond and may show signs of scratches or nicks.
4.Take the stone to a trusted jeweler. Looking through a jeweler's loupe, he or she should be able to spot a fake stone right away. If the jeweler cannot tell by examining the stone, he or she will have instruments that can verify its authenticity.
5.It is highly recommended that you obtain a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The GIA, the largest impartial diamond grading authority in the world, issues a grading report after it examines the diamond and details it specifications.
6.Have the stone appraised by an independent appraiser who is affiliated with a professional organization such as the American Society of Appraisers (ASA). Ask for a certificate indicating the value and characteristics of the stone.

White Gold vs. Silver Rings

Jewelers make rings using all types of metals, including white gold and silver. White gold and silver share a similar whitish-gray color, but beyond that each metal has its own unique characteristics. Knowing the differences of each metal before you purchase a ring helps ensure you get a piece of jewelry that meets your needs.
Color
The only real characteristic shared by silver and white gold is color. Although silver is usually a darker gray than white gold, the difference in color is minimal.
According to Gillett Jewellers, white gold is the second-most popular color of gold next to yellow gold. Different mixes of metal alloys, such as silver and palladium, give white gold its color.
Quality
Silver isn't as strong as gold. It's considered a soft metal. White gold is harder. It contains a certain amount of pure gold measured in carats. Gold of the same carat weight is the same quality regardless of its color.
Use
White gold is a more versatile metal for rings than silver. White gold is suitable for long-term, everyday wear and special occasions. It's an appropriate choice of metals for engagement and wedding rings. Gillett Jewellers doesn't recommend using silver for engagement and/or wedding rings as silver doesn't have the necessary qualities to stand the test of time. Silver rings are best when worn as an accent piece for a special occasion.
Care
Silver oxidizes over time, changing from silver to black. The ring needs to be cleaned with a cleaner made for silver to restore it to its original color. White gold maintains its color with little care. However, if white gold is coated with rhodium to make it whiter, then it needs to be re-plated every year or so to preserve its original color.
Cost
White gold is a superior metal compared to silver. A price difference is notable when evaluating similarly designed rings of these metals as white gold costs more than silver.
The cost of white gold rings varies depending on the percentage of pure gold it contains. The more it contains and the higher the carats, the more expensive it is. White gold also costs more than yellow gold.

Palladium Vs. Platinum Rings

Platinum and palladium are both rare elements. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of metals. Both metals have become increasingly popular in the design of engagement and wedding rings as well as other precious jewelry. Palladium shares some physical characteristics with the more expensive platinum. As such, palladium has become an increasingly popular yet more affordable choice of material for rings.
Platinum: Purity and Perfection
Platinum is appreciated by jewelers and jewelry collectors for its pure quality. Platinum does not need to be blended in an alloy with other metals to create jewelry. Its purity makes platinum hypoallergenic. Its natural white color does not reflect a casting color onto diamonds which makes it ideal for engagement ring settings with diamonds. In addition, the natural white color is flattering to a variety of skin tones. Platinum is pliable and can be worked into very intricate designs.
Platinum's Durability
The dense quality of platinum makes the element durable. Rings fashioned from platinum retain their shape and do not tarnish or change color. Additionally, its durability makes platinum ideal for holding a ring's stone in its setting. Platinum does not wear away like other metals which better secures a stone over a period of time. If a platinum ring is scratched, a jeweler can simply buff out the imperfection.
Palladium in Ring Design
Palladium has always been used for more technical applications, such as an engine's catalytic converter. Innovations made palladium more receptive to casting, a technique jewelers utilize to fashion jewelry. Because palladium can now be part of an alloy known as 950 palladium, it is better suited for casting to make rings or other small jewelry.

When you are ready to buy your wedding rings, there are many things you need to consider. Naturally, you want to like the way your ring looks, but it also needs to fit your lifestyle. Knowing more about wedding rings will help you select wedding rings that meet your needs.
Set a Budget
A wedding ring can cost next to nothing, but it can also break the bank if you're not careful. It is best to go over your finances and come up with a maximum dollar amount you will spend on your wedding bands. A simple, durable band does not have to be costly. In fact, couples who are on a budget have more options for finding quality, affordable rings, because they can shop online.
Select a Metal
Different metals are used to make wedding rings; titanium, platinum, gold and silver are all among the choices you have. Men and women who work with their hands should consider getting a wedding ring of a more durable metal, such as platinum or titanium. When buying a wedding band for a woman, you also have to consider what will match her engagement ring. If you haven't already bought an engagement ring, consider purchasing a set, so all the rings match on another.
Consider Gemstones
Wedding rings can have stones on them just like an engagement ring. Diamonds are the most commonly used stone for wedding rings. Both men and women can have a diamond embellished wedding band. Diamonds come in many colors, including black, white, yellow and sapphire. Generally, diamonds on a wedding band are set in, so they are flush with the band.
Make it Personal
You have a number of options when it comes to making your ring more personalized. You can add a personal touch to even the most simple ring with things like engraving. You can get a design engraved in the metal, or a poem or inscription of sentimental meaning. You can also get your names or wedding date inscribed inside your wedding bands. However, if this is something that interests you, make sure you give the jeweler plenty of time to get the job done.

Choosing a wedding ring is a very personal decision. Wedding rings are available in a variety of styles and metals to fit any personal taste and ring-shopping budget. Take the time to try on lots of rings before you make your final decision. After all, you'll be wearing this ring for a long time.
Bands
The band is a classic wedding ring. Bands come in many different metals, but are most commonly seen in gold, white gold, platinum and silver. Bands can be very thin or thick, or have engraving on them. Some rings have cutouts, and both men and women's bands are available in styles that incorporate diamonds. For women, the most important consideration when choosing a band is to make sure it complements the engagement ring. Bands are less expensive than other types of wedding rings.
Enhancers
Enhancers are wedding bands that have a groove to place around an engagement ring so the rings fit together. Enhancers are typically sold separately from engagement rings so you can choose your own set. The enhancer should be the same type of metal as the engagement ring to help create the illusion of one ring. Enhancers come with stones or without, in styles to complement almost any engagement ring..
Wedding Sets
A wedding set is an engagement ring and wedding band that come as a set. The rings are made to complement each other and fit together perfectly. Purchasing the set is more convenient than purchasing the rings individually. Some wedding sets also include the man's wedding ring in a coordinating style. Buying a set is more convenient than purchasing the rings separately, and enables you to finish your ring shopping with one purchase.

Gold is a favorite for wedding rings because of its intrinsic value and excellent durability. It is more widely available than other types of metals and can often be purchased at a lower cost. Sometimes, additional alloys are added to gold to make it stronger. These alloys can change the hue of the metal, giving you a wide range of options. If you are not a fan of the traditional yellow sheen of gold, consider white gold instead. It has a soft, silver color that can easily be mistaken for silver.
Platinum
Platinum is a lustrous white metal that is becoming increasing used for wedding rings. It is extremely durable, does not tarnish or wear down over time and is hypoallergenic. It provides a secure setting for diamonds or other rare stones and is an good alternative to silver.

Titanium
Titanium has a slate grey or black coloration that many men like. It is resistant to corrosion, scratching and is hypoallergenic. As an added plus, it is quite light. This is an excellent option for men who work with their hands or do not enjoy wearing heavy rings. Titanium is quite cost-effective, usually selling for less than tungsten.
Tungsten
Tungsten is a popular choice for men's rings, largely because it is one of the most durable jewelry metals available. Tungsten comes in a variety of colors, including grey, silver or black. It is resistant to corrosion, scratching and is hypoallergenic. This makes it a good option for men who work with their hands a lot. However, tungsten rings cannot be re-sized and must be replaced if they become too large or small.
