Diamond Wedding Band – Expert`s Advice on How to Choose One
Setting diamonds on the wedding band is relatively new trend as opposed to its ancestors the eternity and anniversary rings. The difference between the three however is unclear and rather confusing. Both wedding band and eternity ring symbolize eternity and the term half eternity ring applied to partially studded rings is self-contradictory. Eternity cannot be half – it is eternal. So let decide, for the sake of clarity in this article that the eternity rings are the one set with diamonds all around irrespective the size and anniversary rings are the one with 3, 5, or 7 equal and relatively substantial in size diamonds in a row. Now we are ready to define the diamond wedding band: It is a band set with equal in size diamonds only on the visible outer side not further than half of the circumference.
How far down the sides the band is set is also interpreted differently by the designers. If low price market is targeted the studded part does not go very far and barely covers 1/5 of the circumference. In price focused market every diamond and putting it in its place (setting) increase the factory cost and lower the competitiveness of the price. Going half way on the other hand may not be the best option even if the budget is not an issue. Diamond pave may scrape the neighboring fingers or other rings worn there. The best ratio from economical, aesthetic and practical point of view is 2 to 3 meaning 2/5 studded and 3/5 plain. Obviously the number of diamonds is determined by their size and varies between 9 and 16. The most popular shapes used in diamond wedding bands are round and princess.
Important: Although diamond wedding bands are much easier to resize than an eternity rings the best is to be done prior the setting. Resizing diamond wedding bands with any type of setting can loosen the diamonds a cause them to fall off later. This causes plenty of frustration for the customer and the jeweler and can be avoided if the ring is manufactured with the right finger size, then set and finished. This way the join at the back is also eliminated and the band has much higher overall strength. To be able to do this the jeweler must have workshop capable of acting fast and the customer to have the patience to wait few days. In the end of the day it will be well worth. My advice is not to go for diamond band resized more than 2 sizes.
Yellow gold diamond wedding bands are something from the past. The white gold however is still the most used metal. This illustrates the conservatism of the jewelry market and it works both ways. The jewelers are offering what the customers want; the customers want what they are offered and the lack of information keeps everything new at bay. White gold is not actually white. It is the same old rich yellow gold forced into whiteness by mixing it with bleaching alloy metals. The result is yellowish grayish metal which have to be rhodium plated for bright white surface color. The metals really suitable for white diamond jewelry are the ones from the platinum metal group – Platinum and Palladium. Platinum reemerged in the jewelry industry about 15 years ago and surprisingly fast established its name as superior to white gold. The only reason it did not shift the white gold`s default status was its much higher price. Palladium was used many years as whitening alloy metal for white gold. Its use as solo media was limited from complications in the casting process. Few years ago the technology barriers were broken and palladium is now gaining momentum. Palladium and Platinum are so similar that they are virtually indistinguishable in appearance and mechanical properties. Palladium however is 40% lighter and much cheaper providing all the advantages of platinum at about a quarter of the price thus making it the metal of choice for diamond wedding bands and for white fine jewelry in general.
