03 Engagement Ring – An engagement ring is given to the bride during the time of proposal and it typically features a diamond or a beautiful gemstone that is available in a different color. It is a symbol of love for both the lovers to signify that now they are engaged and going to be married very soon! Over the period diamonds are more in trend compared to typical pure gold rings and everyone knows - Diamonds are a girl's best friend!
Wedding Ring– During the wedding ceremony, wedding rings are exchanged between couples. Both the engagement and the wedding rings can be worn during the wedding, but a wedding ring is typically worn under the engagement ring. Many times the girl either wears both rings in the same finger or can opt to wear them on different fingers or even different hands sometimes. Some say that the wedding ring should be worn under the engagement ring - This is because the wedding ring should be closer to the heart which symbolizing the eternal factor of marriage. Wedding rings often come in plain bands, along with this they can have beautiful diamonds or stones and are often solid platinum gold, or white gold which is most in the trends. 04
How Many Rings Should You Wear After Getting Married? It is a completely personal choice based on culture and taste. I have seen ladies wearing both the rings in one finger – wedding ring on top of the engagement ring. Some prefer to wear only one ring and not both the rings or sometimes they wear both rings on different hands. Sometimes, I have ladies saying that both the rings on a single finger do not look good – reason due to different color or material, etc. This is why I always recommend buying a matching engagement a wedding rings and avoid making a mistake of buying different matching rings. Are Wedding Rings and Wedding Bands the same? Yes, they are usually plain without any diamonds or gemstones onto them and typically available in white or yellow gold. 05
Important tips for engagement & wedding rings 06 Since both of you will be wearing these rings for the rest of your life - you must take your time to decide on the choice and make sure the ring feels comfortable on a longer duration of wearing. We have crafted few tips for getting the most out of your rings
Most of the jewelers provide a periodic professional cleaning for all the rings sets with a diamond or diamond alternative. Over the period there are chances of dust, dirt, body oil, and lotions, etc can sometimes dull the sparkling shine on the diamond. Keeping the surface not only prolongs the life of the diamond and setting metal but gives you a fresh new look thereafter. • If your engagement or wedding ring sparkles, it’s important to have a jeweler examine the settings or prongs at least once a year. This will keep bent edges or prongs from allowing your stone to become dislodged. • If you are planning to get the engraving on the ring it is advisable to get the ring sized first. Letter and words engraved inside a band may stretch, shrink, or become unreadable if your ring requires resizing. Even if you know the size of the ring, it’s always a smart idea to double-check with the jeweler before ordering your rings. • Take clear pictures of your ring from all the sides once it is delivered at your home. Newlyweds, sometimes due to unused to feel the weight of the ring misplace the ring during the honeymoon period. Moreover, images will help you to claim any insurance later on and help to re-order the same piece if its stolen,etc. • Don’t forgetto let your finger “breathe” once in a while. If your wedding ring is tight enough to be uncomfortable, be sure tolook into having it resized: failing to do so could harm that finger’s circulation. Remove your ring for a few hours or a day here and there to let your finger and skinget a break from the constant contact of the surface. 06
