The wide variety of opal wedding rings on offer can confuse you when it comes to choosing the right piece for your partner! What kind of wedding ring should you get? Should you look for soft pieces or functional designs? Which instrument should you choose? Relax - we will give you a few simple tips that will help you get the best out of it!
• First - decide on a budget! Only you can decide what you can afford to spend on your opal ring. Be realistic and try not to overdo it! You will need to decide between platinum, gold, titanium, silver or diamond rings - and the budget will help things right from the start!
• Think about your lifestyle - not just your budget. Your lifestyle will be a deciding factor too! For example, titanium and tungsten are solid metals. If you live a life that involves physical activity - this may be your best option. All metals other than tungsten WILL STEAL for use, of course. So go for a finish that can be easily polished.
Your lifestyle will also determine if you are looking for sophisticated, soft designs or practical and solid options. A well-designed wedding ring and covered with precious stones can be a great option if you do not have to work hard. But if you are climbing a mountain as a normal activity- you may want to rethink this elaborate ring!
• The shape of the hand - whether you choose the ring or your partner - should match the shape of the fingers and hand! What are we talking about? A thin hand or fingers can look better on a thin wedding band - about 5mm or less. If your fingers are wide open, look for wide belts.
• Do your homework - Find out more about the gems and metals used in your ring. You will make the most informed decision that way. You will have a better idea of the costs involved. You do not want to get into a 'for sale' diamond ring - to find out you paid a huge sum for the cloudy and yellow version!
Additionally, not all gemstones can be used on wedding rings. That is because some, like Opal, may be too fragile to wear.
• Luxury feature - wedding rings are designed to be worn all year round - so the luxury feature will be important when considering your partner's best opal bracelet. Make sure the ring does not have sharp edges. You should also make sure that the inside of the ring bends slightly. This will make the ring more comfortable on the finger - and as a result it will be more comfortable.
There - that wouldn't be too hard, would it? Keep these tips in mind when choosing wedding rings - and you'll be able to find that perfect piece that will be honored forever!
