September 28th, 2011 1:34 am

When getting prepared for the most important day of your life there are many details to take into account. Probably the most significant aspect is choosing the wedding rings.Wedding rings hold a very significant place in the life of loved ones. For lovers it is a symbolic piece of jewellery and after marriage they wear it for the rest of their life. And this is the reason that most of the couples prefer to buy beautiful and high quality of rings. It is very important to buy your ring very carefully.

And if you are looking for a ring then here are some tips which you must think of before selecting your wedding ring:

First of all you must think of your partner’s preference and lifestyle. It is very essential to select a ring according to the lifestyle of your partner.

Next you should find the size of her/his ring finger. By taking the measurement of her/his finger you will be assured that you are buying a ring of perfect size. By having the size of partner’s finger you can easily get a perfect ring for your second half.

Then you must think of your budget. It is good to set your budget before you go for shopping. Remember once you have set your budget you can easily select the metal for your wedding ring. You can find wedding rings made of yellow gold, white gold and platinum. And from such a wide option you can select the metal for your ring according to your budget. If you are willing to spend on your ring then you can go for platinum which is very precious and popular for wedding and engagement rings. But if you want to save money on your ring then you can select white gold or yellow gold.

Next you should think of the weight of the ring. This again depends on your budget. But another thing which you must keep in mind while selecting the weight of your ring is the look and size of your finger. If your partner has slender fingers then you must go for a ring which has less weight because then only it will look perfect when you wear.

Then you must think of the design and style of the ring you want. And you must always select the style and design that suits the personality of your partner.

At last you must make sure that the ring which you are selecting for your second half must be certified from GIA. It is very important to buy a certified wedding ring because it is not just a piece of jewellery but it is a lifetime commitment.

How do you realize if gold jewelry is real?

In the United States, anything that is not at least 10 karats (42 percent gold) cannot be legally sold as gold. Anything that you purchase that is real gold should have the karat amount stamped into the jewelry. On rings, the stamp will be on the inside; and on necklaces and bracelets, the stamp will usually be somewhere on the clasp.

If the jewelry you are purchasing doesn’t have a stamp stating that it’s 10k, 14k, 18k, or 22k, chances are that it isn’t real gold.

If the jewelry is stamped and you still question whether or not it is real gold, you can take it to certain jewelers to find out whether or not it is real gold. A jeweler will be able to perform a chemical test or look at the piece under a jeweler’s loop to determine the quality of the piece.

If you’re thinking of purchasing a piece of gold jewelry and something is making you question whether or not it’s real, it’s probably best to pass and find another piece that you can feel confident about.

The best way to tell the purity of gold is by purchasing a Nitric acid test kit; such a kit can be found on sites like E-bay for under $30. It will cover karats ranging from 10 karat to 22k karat, as well as silver & platinum! Markings on a piece are usually completely useless — the amount of jewelry that’s improperly marked is absurd. If you’re not buying from a reputable jeweler, I strongly suggest using the Nitric acid test kit.
