Best Material for a Wedding Ring

Sep 18, 2019

 

The Classic Gold Ring

If you like the classic, traditional look, you can’t go wrong with yellow gold. When you look at gold rings pay attention to karats. The strongest gold for wedding rings is 14K gold, which means it contains 58% pure gold. If you’re wondering why wedding rings aren’t pure gold, it’s because of durability. Pure gold is 24 karats and it’s too soft to be used for wedding rings. Using alloys such as silver, palladium, nickel, copper, and zinc added to pure gold creates a stronger and more durable metal for wedding rings. Along with yellow gold, white and rose gold are popular alternatives. White gold is loved by many brides because it makes an attractive backdrop for diamonds and other gemstones.

Platinum Never Fades or Tarnishes

Platinum has multiple qualities that make it the ideal choice for wedding jewelry. First, platinum is 90 to 95% pure. Second, platinum is rare and not found in many places. Finally, platinum is more durable than other jewelry metals. If you choose platinum, you’ll have your ring for a lifetime. An added benefit of platinum is that its purity makes it naturally hypoallergenic and perfect for people who have sensitive skin. True love is rare. Why not celebrate it with a rare and beautiful metal? When shopping for wedding rings in Okemos, MI, make sure you ask to see the selection of platinum jewelry.

Sleek and Modern Stainless Steel

Stainless steel has a light, silvery finish. There’s nothing light about its strength. Stainless steel is strong and scratch-resistant. If you work in a career where your hands take a beating, choose a ring made from this durable metal. Don’t let the practical side of stainless steel fool you. One look at the selection of wedding rings fashioned from stainless steel will win you over immediately. You’ll find a wide range of sleek, modern wedding ring styles including those with carved accents, colored inlays, and textured designs. Add a gemstone as an accent and make the ring your own. Another reason couples choose stainless steel is the price. It’s less expensive than many other precious metals.

Men Favor Tungsten Rings

So much focus is placed on choosing the perfect engagement ring or wedding set for the bride, but sometimes the guys feel a little forgotten. In fact, many wedding rings worn by men can look a bit nondescript. Select a wedding ring made from tungsten carbide and draw some of the attention to the groom. Men’s rings are an integral part of the wedding ceremony. Tungsten is unique, durable, and creates a modern, polished look. Available in white, black, and gray, tungsten makes an excellent choice for men with modern and discriminating taste.
