Understanding Jewelry Making And Care

Choosing The Best Ring

When you are choosing the right ring for yourself, there are so many things you should think about. With all the different rings available, it can be a bit overwhelming. By deciding on some of the features you definitely want your ring to have ahead of time, you can narrow things down a lot. This way, you can look at a selection of rings that meet your criteria and find one that's just right. Here are some of the things you should consider regarding the ring you get: 

What material do you want?

There are more materials rings can be made with than you might realize. Most people know that rings can be made from gold, white gold, and silver. However, the choices go far beyond these. Some additional ring materials include:

  • Stainless steel

  • Ceramic

  • Tungsten carbide

  • Palladium

  • Cobalt

  • Titanium

The different materials each bring their own set of benefits and features with them. For example, titanium is a very strong and long-lasting material. It can come in so many styles and colors. Titanium is also resistant to damage like scratching, bending, and tarnishing. Also, it doesn't irritate the skin or cause it to become discolored. This material is also lightweight and comes at more affordable pricing due to how readily available it is in nature and how easy it is to work with. All these things are examples of reasons why titanium is often a popular choice in jewelry. 

What size do you want?

You can choose from so many sizes of rings as well. Some people feel best with small rings, while other people prefer large rings. Then, there are all the sizes that fall somewhere in the middle. Smaller rings can be less obvious, more comfortable, and more versatile. Larger rings are more obvious, allow for more design options, and can include more materials. The size all depends on what you are looking for out of the ring you get. 

What style do you want?

There are also so many styles of rings. There are basic bands made from only one material, basic bands made of two or more materials, rings that have different shapes, ones that are designed with all kinds of embellishments and elements, rings that include stones, and so many others. Think about how you would prefer your ring to look, and this can be half the battle when deciding on which one is right for you. Many people like the look of a black titanium contemporary ring, and this may be a good choice for you as well.
