Diamonds
Today allowed the partnership to diamonds. They are a symbol of eternity. More traditionally, diamonds are usually reserved for the headband. This dates back to 1477, when Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring receives the Archduke Maximilian of Austria. But are the Egyptians who instituted the wear on the third finger of the left hand.
The reason? They were convinced that the 'vein of love' heart started to end on that finger. The alliance is on the same finger of the headband. That's why it is desirable to have a relationship in size, gold color, material, style, shape, etc.
When going to buy the engagement ring you have to know about the features of it. Specify the stones you have and the quality of the metal in question.
Engagement rings and marriage do in gold (either in yellow gold, white or red), platinum (metal more valuable than gold) or silver, if preferred.
When we say a gold jewel is being realized that is pure gold or 24 carat. The 24K gold is soft, it is mixed with other metals to increase its hardness and durability. It is customary to make 24 gold rings, because they would be too soft and easily deformed. When a jewel is not 24 karat, you must have a mark or statement indicating their classification carats. This indicates what proportion of gold is mixed with other metals. For example, 14 karat gold (14K) contains 14 parts of gold, mixed with 10 parts of base metal. The higher the carat, the higher the proportion of gold.
When we say that the piece is solid gold or solid, it indicates that it is made with gold of any carat but is not hollow. If you indicate that gold is plated (gold plate), is that the piece is coated in gold on a metal base. Gold plating is spent to the extent that use is given to the workpiece, depending of course on the thickness and quality of plating.
Platinum, meanwhile, is a precious metal that costs more than gold. Usually mixed with other similar metals, known as the platinum group metals. They are: iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium and osmium.
The quality marks for platinum are based on parts of mil. For example, the marking 900 Platinum means 1000, are 900 parts of pure platinum. The abbreviations used are Plat. A piece or Pt 950 platinum is simply marked as platinum. If less, then the amount of platinum mark containing pure. In some detail the quantity proportions of the platinum group metals contained in the part.
Silver is the least used in wedding rings. Its value is cheaper than gold and platinum. When talking about a piece of silver or fine silver is stating that contains 92.5% silver. Sometimes marked with 925, which means that 925 parts of thousand are pure silver. Some silver jewelry is plated, ie have a silver coating on the metal base. The silver pieces require cleaning care than they are gold and platinum.
When looking for a ring that will be for life, consider the quality. Quality in the structure, the design and the metal you choose. If you do not see the piece you want to buy, a trademark with a quality mark, then just do not decide for it!
