Alliances and wedding rings. Manual maintenance and cleaning

Nothing is more personal than our response to color. Color of the new language of passion, and nothing captures better than clear-style jewelry.

Leave her voice with our diamond color is colorless and fancy design or bold brilliant gemstone jewelry.

The choice of wedding rings (or ring)

There are literally hundreds of styles of engagement rings to choose from, both the bride and groom. While traditional tape as a simple circular ring of gold, now you can simple or complex, large or fine jewelry studded or not. It is not uncommon, even in the ring the groom to find gemstone accents.

Traditionally, a woman receives two rings, one on Consent to Marriage, and the second at the ceremony. Today this tradition continues, the most popular choice. But sometimes couples choose a wedding ring, which includes the most important jewel of choice and eliminates the need for an engagement ring as such. For example, instead of buying an engagement ring with a wedding ring carat diamond was set in motion one could buy for the same price in the alliance, which includes four carats total diamond weight around your finger.

Group of diamond wedding is only a point of contact and connects the symbolism of the ring with one round diamond symbols or other choice of stones. This may be an important air, and classical. Another example could also buy a diamond, which is then placed in a gold wedding ring is very large, again a combination of stone traditionally received at an earlier date in his wedding ring.
The decision on one or two cycles mostly personal, but remember that the operation may affect your decision. If the commitment period will be long, without waiting for the wedding the bride may be better to have an engagement ring for his commitment and announced the change of their status and upcoming events.

important aspects before making a choice

To help you make the right choice for a wedding ring, here are some important factors to consider.

- How the eye works with the alliance engagement ring?

If an engagement ring is given, it is very important to consider, as a wedding ring would have to discuss with him in his arms. (We hope that before making a final decision on the engagement ring, you think about your wedding ring.) This is a good idea to try to see different kinds of wedding rings with a wedding ring, how to treat them together. The bandwidth can handle a strong influence on how he was an engagement ring. Remember also that some parts, such as milgraining or a specific type of surface may look good when worn alone, but with the image of the whole, if they distract attention from the engagement ring.

- What are the best to look at the width?

The width of the engagement ring is measured in millimeters. Ladies only standard gold or platinum band regions from 2 to 4 millimeters, the ranges of men's 3-1/2 - 6 mm. Stock sizes can go as large as 10 millimeters. It is important to try the same style, different bandwidth, because you'll be surprised how different the effect created by the width may be one. Avoid very wide rings that feel uncomfortable when you try it. You get used to it. If broadband can be beautiful, an aesthetic point of view, because it may be less comfortable to hold in climate-affected areas.

- Do you prefer "flat" group or "Half-round" group?

Flat strip flat on his finger, and half-lap was something like a curved or dome for them. Decision purely a matter of personal taste.

- Do you prefer the appropriate groups?

Most manufacturers offer a wide selection of wedding ring of the ladies and men's wedding ring.

- Schedule the wedding ring be worn without a wedding ring?

If you think you can often do you wear a seat belt without your wedding ring, you may prefer a different type of tape. For example, some women prefer to wear a wedding ring than in the office, some people prefer to wear a wedding ring in social situations. If you think this may be the case with you, you may prefer to broadband, or the most important research, it stands on its own feet.

Gem Ring

- If the stones are completely surrounded by a ring?

This decision depends on your taste, budget, staff, comfort and fit. Many prefer to keep the stones around the entire finger, while others only want diamonds on the top of the ring. See the main advantage of this stone is all you need to know to never turn the ring on his finger to health care. The main disadvantage is that some gems (on the underside of the fingers) to wear, which can lead to failure and loss of face. The choice is not very cost-effective solution, and in step with the size and quality of gems and the width of the ring, you can watch on any budget.

- The ring is installed correctly?

When you choose a style Gem, be sure to actually try eating sounds plausible. Otherwise, you can see a ring on his finger feels very uncomfortable, when in fact it would be great if they fit properly. This is especially true for a ring with precious stones greater zinc content. Even for rings with precious stones partially reversed, is the man for the comfort of crucial importance, since it refers to the contour of the ring.

Ring Heritage

The ring is passed from one generation to another part of the history and traditions of the family, and add a romantic element, and regulate emotional value, it's hard with a new ring. In addition to a true "heritage" that has passed through families, young couples now enjoy the unique and distinctive and treatment in the rings and the ancient times up to-left results. Antique and antique reproduction rings have become very popular and offer a distinctive look at nostalgic element. Some of the most popular include the Art Nouveau period (1895 - 1915), with its graceful, flowing lines, floral and other images of nature, the Edwardian period (1901 - 1914) with its advanced nature and romantic themes like Garland and the Art Deco period (1920 - 1930 ), with its own geometric meaning, and use of interesting shapes such as trapezoids, triangles, and crescents, often with a focus of small stones. Simple parts 1950 and 1960, are also increasingly popular.

If you give a piece of heirloom family or property as a wedding ring or wedding, or considering the gems of thought from one room to the former, you must remember that stones are not what "they seem, especially if he bought another source, such as jewelry reputable company, or they can be chipped or damaged in any way that may pose a problem if you would like to replace them.

The first step is to assess the game trained gemologist expert witnesses. Score revised if the ring is what you think or fully describe the quality, and whether there are problems, that is, if the stone is chipped or cracked, so that the risk of fracture. With full knowledge of the gem, you can use all the necessary precautions when working or adjustment.

Today there are many types of rings, which can accommodate any precious stone, but I remember the days when an update or reset Heritage: require custom settings, which are more expensive than the more advanced settings, especially if the shape of the stone is unusual.
It is much easier and cheaper than finding a solution is desirable, if you round pearls. may require another round gem, user preferences, or a skilled goldsmith, is part of a different attitude to adapt to the shape of gemstones.

It's a good idea to check exactly each piece of antique plate of small cracks that are formed around work or bridges. The game, which began in the platinum, resulting in cracks of sulfuric acid, can not be restored and unstable. Make sure you check for signs of tooth decay in other areas and thin areas. Note: If this was the case with the ring on the old, in the family for many years, may be a qualified jeweler for repairs ring, with the original look and finish.

Care for Engagement Rings

This is most likely to wear wedding rings more than any other piece of jewelry, so it's important to know how to care for and protect. The following tips should help you take care of your rings.

- Try not to touch the stones in your rings when you create a skirt on or under them. Instead, remove the ring and grabbed the rod or metal, which surrounds the finger. rings slip on and off the capture of the metal shank instead of a pearl is the accumulation of grease on the diamond surface, which reduces the brightness and luster of precious stones to prevent it.

- For a sparkling ring, make a habit of "polishing" it. This little trick we use to remove the oily film and dirt on the diamond surface (which holds placed by mistake on the rings and remove them, and sometimes the "finger" them, most of us without him), Mark. Whenever hit a stone, a layer of oily film on the beauty of the stone on top and precious less applicable. To restore luster, "Huff," he said. Just keep close to the ring on the mouth, "Huff" about it with your breath, you'll find a pearl in the mist and wipe with lint-free cloth, like a handkerchief, scarf, jacket and / or sleeve blouse. You'll be surprised how much better your rings, you can easily see even a light layer of oil on the surface to be impressed!

- Do not start the rings and place them on the side of the test, if you believe that the leak closed. Also, never remove your rings on his hands, from when to clean the house, too many rings have been forgotten or lost.

- Do not wear a wedding ring during any kind of major projects such as cleaning or gardening or sport. Even diamonds can be chipped or broken a sharp blow in one direction

- Avoid contact with chlorine, the main ingredient in May, disinfectants, household cleaners and disinfectants pool. Chlorine can point and discoloration of the entire ring and make your gold or platinum rings.

- Do not casually throw in jewelry. Diamonds can scratch other gemstones is very simple and can scratch each other. To prevent scratching, diamond jewelry should be placed in a box with dividers or separate compartments, or each piece in a cloth bag or wrapped individually in tissue or soft cloth.

- Have a reliable jeweler to check the ring every eighteen months to ensure a safe setting, above all, from head to toe. If you ever (or hear) of precious stones in the frame, it is a warning that the branches or the need to tighten border. Failure to follow these repairs can lead to loss or damage to the diamonds or gemstones.

To clean jewelry

Hold the ring is important if you want to shine in its entirety. Film lotions, powders, skin oil and diamonds boring and / or precious stones and reduce their influence and brilliance of color.

- It is easy to clean. To clean your rings, wash with warm water until frothy. This is perhaps the simplest and easiest way to clean all kinds of jewelry. Prepare to be called the small intestine with soapy water, with any type of mild liquid detergent. Enjoy your ring for a few minutes, then gently brush toothbrush and brush brows with a soft, holding the piece submerged in soapy water. Under running water, make sure that the leak does not work (some people prefer metal jewelry in the filter before release to the flowing water) and dry lint-free cloth or paper towel.

- To clean diamonds, to prepare a solution of hot water and ammonia (ammonia and half water and half) and enjoy the diamonds in this solution for about 15 minutes. select it and press gently on the sides and back, then brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. This method is especially effective for diamond rings with a large accumulation of fat residue. There may be some "settling" when the ring is not cleaned for a long time. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.

- To make the engagement ring or other clean gold jewelry, without stones, rubbing with a chamois cloth will restore much of the gloss. Protection may start with a solution of soap and water to which a few drops of ammonia added removed. Use a soft toothbrush, brush the ring with this decision, rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Fat may be removed by soaking in plain alcohol.

Although convenient, commercial jewelry cleaners are not necessarily more effective than the methods proposed above. Never leave jewelry colored gemstones in the commercial cleaning soak for more than a few minutes. Leaving stones like emerald and amethyst in some commercial cleaners for a long period can lead to etching of the surface, reduces the brightness of the stone.

Not recommended to use ultrasonic cleaning for the most valuable and should be limited to treatment of diamonds and gold. Wash in hot soapy water is a simple, effective and safe for all jewelry.

Jewelry carefully

- It's important to keep your ring carefully in a dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.

- Keep your precious stones jewelry, pearls, gold and silver parts are separated from each other to prevent scratching. Keep your fine jewelry in soft bags or wrapped in a soft cloth (or, with the exception of pearls in the Ziploc bag type plastic) for protection.

- Do not overload your jewelry box. This can move or lose parts that could be easily forgotten after the procedure. Coercion in the jewelry can cause damage such as bending a fragile or brittle chipping stone.
