Wedding Ring Set Designs

It has become more and more popular to buy engagement rings that are not part of a matched set of rings. Not that bridal sets are not beautiful with the often intricate design of two rings that mesh perfectly. Couples just have more choice today, and enjoy mixing and matching engagement and wedding rings.

Wedding ring inscriptions are a great way to covert the simplest wedding band into a unique wedding band. Gone are the days of just having your wedding anniversary scratched on the inside of your ring. Is there a song title, saying, or even a scripture that you both love?. Some couples decide to have a part of their wedding vows engraved on their wedding rings. Another popular idea is to incorporate something from the wedding theme (if you had one). The name of the resort or town where you are honeymooning perhaps? Your pet names for each other, or even the name of the restaurant for your first date.

The circle was the representation of eternity, with no beginning or end, not only to the Egyptians, but many other ancient cultures. The hole in the centre of the ring also had importance. It was not just considered a circular space, but rather an entrance, or door; leading to things and proceedings both known and unknown. To give a woman a ring indicates never-ending and immortal love. The constituents these rings were made of did not last very long and soon were substituted with rings made of leather, bone or ivory. The more expensive the material, the more love revealed to the receiver; the value of the ring also established the wealth of the giver.

One of the most popular and in demand types of diamond rings today is tungsten carbide wedding band. This is because of the great number of benefits found in tungsten carbide wedding bands compared to promise rings or bands made from platinum, gold and other precious metals.

Cons:

Tungsten wedding band cannot be re-sized. So you need to find a reputable jeweler who will carry a lifetime warranty on their ring. If your ring size changes, you're stuck with the size you bought unless the jeweler will exchange the ring for you. So it is important to choose the comfort size of your band

There's a lot of cheap tungsten jewelry out there. Cheap tungsten is made with cobalt which is used in light bulb filaments. You want to find tungsten with a nickel alloy. Slightly more expensive but it won't corrode and turn your finger brown. Stick with a brand name; I'm sure you'll be fine.

Pros:

Tungsten rings will never bend. You can hammer it like crazy and it will always retain its shape

They never scratch. You can file away at it, and it will stay polished forever

It is heavier than most metals because of its density

You can't beat its shine and polish

It's hypoallergenic so if you have any allergies, it won't happen with tungsten.
