With the face of the bride and groom: choice of rings!

Using wedding rings as a sign of union is a very old tradition! Legend has it that the Egyptians were the first to exchange rings as “rings of love”, 5 thousand years ago. The pieces were made of leather or fabric and, in the shape of a circle, symbolized a powerful union without beginning or end and, therefore, eternal life to love.

It is no wonder that wedding rings have become the universal symbol of marriage, as they represent a constant reminder of a commitment made by two people who love each other.

In addition to their important meaning, wedding rings are jewels used every day, in almost every moment of our lives. So, nothing fairer than choosing that pair of wedding rings you've always dreamed of, right?

Well, if you are looking for the perfect pair of wedding rings, let us help you! Check out some tips to help you choose.

Start with some important points:

• Width: Find a width that you both like! This makes it much easier to start choosing the jewel, since the width is a very determining factor in the look of the rings.

It is important to take into account that the width is associated with the weight of the jewel. Thus, the wider the alliance, the more gold is needed to make the model and consequently the greater the value of the jewel.

• External format: Do you have a more traditional or modern style? More classic couples usually opt for models with a rounded exterior, while those who prefer something more contemporary often opt for rings with a flat exterior.

• Will it be with diamonds?: This is also a very relevant factor. Decide if the jewelry will be without stones, with some stones or with many stones. Remember that the amount and size of diamonds are also directly related to the value of the jewelry.

• Choose gold color: You can choose to order your rings in yellow, white or rose gold. Usually, prices do not usually change because of this. In addition to the aesthetic issue, it is important that you are aware of the peculiarities of each type of gold.

• Yellow gold: 9 out of 10 couples opt for yellow gold! This is definitely the most classic option. When in doubt, choose it.
• White gold: White gold is an option for those who don't like the golden tone. Thanks to rhodium bath, white gold jewelry looks silver. A small disadvantage is that the rhodium plating has to be done from time to time.
• Rose Gold: Undoubtedly the most unusual! We don't see many rings in rose gold. So, opt for this tone if you think it matches your style. In addition to modern, it is super high.

• Thickness: As we mentioned earlier, the amount of material used in the rings will directly influence the value of the jewel. Therefore, when choosing alliances, always take into account how much gold is being used in the pair.

For a ring to be produced, 3 measurements must be taken into account: width, thickness and internal diameter. These measures also influence the price of the jewel.

• Final touch/finishing: Polished rings are the most chosen. They are shiny and mirrored. One of the advantages is that the risks that appear due to constant use tend to appear less. Matte rings, on the other hand, become more opaque, so they are considered more discreet. Over time, the matte finish will come off and the wedding ring will naturally start to look brighter, but nothing that a simple matte finish will restore its matte appearance.

What really matters is that the piece has the face of the bride and groom and is a legitimate representative of the couple's history. And here at ArtOuro you can customize the ring of your dreams! visit our shop and check out our exclusive models.
