Eternity rings

Eternity rings are often given as an anniversary gift as a sign of the commitment and permanence of the wedding vows. They may come in the form of a 14k gold eternity ring with stones forming a continuous circle around the band.

Stackable rings

Choosing the right precious metal for your ring

The specific color of metal used for the ring can make a big difference, and people often have their own style and preference.

• White Gold - White gold rings often suit people with a pale complexion or those with a more rosy or fair look to their skin. White gold rings give a more subtle look.
• Yellow Gold - Yellow gold ring has a real history to it and may work well for classical designs. A yellow gold ring could be from any time in history. These give a beautiful compliment to those with olive or darker skin tones, but can be worn by anyone to good effect.
• Rose Gold -  Rose gold may have emerged as a trend in the jewelry world, but the it's now officially a classic and stylish design.
• Silver - Silver has similar coloration to white gold, but more of a shine and a glimmer. If you are looking for a more affordable ring then silver may save you some money, but still give a beautiful jewelry look.

How to choose a perfect ring for women

When choosing a pure gold ring for women, you need to take into account a few different considerations. These can help you to buy a design that compliments her style, and that she will fall in love with.

• Her lifestyle and preferences - What sort of lifestyle does she lead? Yellow and white gold rings tend to be very durable, so you can wear them in a lot of different scenarios, but a more subtle design might be suitable for an active lifestyle, for example. Some women want a classy and understated look while others love to make a statement.
• Ring style - Gold rings' style you go for may be dictated by the occasion you want to mark. You might be looking to get an engagement ring with a solitaire or cluster setting diamond. Yellow gold rings is a suitable style for many occasions, it's a traditional wedding ring. Eternity rings may have more inline styling and detailed designs.
• Your budget - How much you can spend on yellow or white gold rings will play a part. Generally, you can still get some beautiful yellow or white gold rings without spending a fortune, but you might have to make a sacrifice on the quality of some of the stones and metals.
• Rings with diamond or other stones - Diamond rings are often seen as the number one choice for engagement and often for eternity rings. 14K gold ring is often the best choice for including gemstones set within. Though diamonds are classic, emeralds, sapphires and even pearls can be used to great effect. The gemstone you opt for can have a big impact on the price of the gold rings.

How to choose gold rings for men

Band Width

The width of the band needs to be measured, just as it does when choosing women's rings. Most men go for white gold rings between 6mm and 10mm in size, with 8mm being the most common width.

It depends on your finger size, and you will need to measure by following a few simple steps.

Luckily, you can use a tape measure, ring sizer or even paper and a ruler to get the correct ring size.

• Cut a piece of string and place it around the finger where the ring will go.
• Mark on the string where it meets around the finger.
• Use a ruler to measure this length so you know the circumference of the ring.
• Measure in mm or inches, and a conversion chart will tell you what size of ring you require. Explore more details of measuring your ring size online.

Comfort

The main criteria for your comfort is also the sizing. Ensure that men's diamond ring is not too tight, and is wide enough not to cause you pain, but also that it doesn’t fall off the finger as it is too wide.

Type of metal

Men’s wedding rings and gold bands are often chosen for durability first and foremost. White gold rings are usually the most preferred ones for men. Tungsten, titanium and cobalt are all popular due to their durability. They are very unlikely to scratch. Of course, you can go for different types of gold if you wish for a classic look.

Caring for gold rings

It is important to take good care of your gold rings, no matter what metal they are made out of.

• Both yellow and white gold rings can be cleaned using a chemical-free, mild soap, and warm water. You can even use a very soft toothbrush to clean them if required.
• Any time you are not wearing your ring, store it somewhere with stable humidity and away from chemicals.
• Take your 14k gold ring off when you are performing tasks like washing up, or if your ring is going to come into contact with chemicals.

There are so many different styles of rings, and some would say you can never have too many. Whether you need a yellow or white gold ring for a special occasion, or you are looking for that one special, unique ring to wear for a lifetime, Noray Designs has something for you.
