Wedding rings (commonly called alliances) are a very important purchase, is something for life and also are a considerable outlay, so it is best to have all the information about them and when you put to look and/or buy your alliances do not arise doubts beyond if you like more or others. We have prepared a very complete guide in which you will find all the necessary information to buy wedding rings or alternative wedding bands, and you will also find some interesting information.

Types of wedding bands materials 

Although it is true that today you could ask to make your wedding rings in almost any material (there are tastes for everything). The most normal materials used by the manufacturers of alliances are; mainly gold, in its different colors, yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. There is also gray gold and peach, in addition to gold, the alliances are made in platinum, silver, carbon and if you want you can also buy alliances Wedding in titanium.

Difference between metals 

First, we will talk about gold, we all know that the more carats better, right? But why?

24k gold is "pure gold" or also called "fine gold", and as its name suggests is pure and is not mixed with other metals, but this can not be used for jewelry because it is too soft. The gold alliances are manufactured mainly in 9k and 18k, this gold is composed of "pure gold" mixed with alloys of other metals, and the difference between 9 and 18 carats is the purity or quantity of "pure gold" that leads, having 18k gold twice as much as 9k gold.

On the other hand, platinum, like gold is made with an alloy, but in this case, most are platinum, platinum alliances have 95% platinum and the rest is completed with an alloy.

If we talk about silver alliances, they are like gold and platinum; these rings are made with an alloy, 92.5% is silver and the rest alloy, with the difference that silver has a fine/pure silver bath for give it that characteristic white color.

Modern Wedding bands with diamonds 

Modern Wedding bands can include diamonds in different amounts or ways to place them depending on the model. When making an alliance with diamonds you have to take into account the height of the diamond and the thickness of the alliance since the diamonds are set.

The names of the different diamonds can lead to confusion, but let's clear it up quickly. The diamond is the rough stone, and depending on the shape we give it when it is carved it will have a name or another. The most common and/or known is the bright one, but there are many more such as baguette, princess, emerald cut, etc.

The quality of the diamond mainly depends on color and purity. The color ranges from yellow or Bruno which is the worst quality to the totally colorless or white blue which is the best quality. And the purity goes from a diamond with visible internal impurities to a completely clean impurity. There are also diamonds of other colors such as yellow, champagne, pink, black-brown and even purple.

Terminations 

Wedding rings are made in many different finishes, the most classic is the brightness, but there are also many types of satin, textures, diamond, etc.

Something to keep in mind is that almost any alliance can be changed or reviewed. If we have broken down a lot with the use, we must bear in mind that wedding bands, like any other ring that is used every day, suffer a lot of bumps and scratches that are inevitable but do not worry as it almost always has an easy and relatively inexpensive solution. The price of the alliances does not usually vary between the different endings, so if we look for economic alliances, we should not think that they have to be in a gloss finish.

Ring Sizes 

When we are looking for our alliances in an online store one of the first questions that come to mind is; "What ring size do I have?", The first thing for not making mistakes when ordering them, and the second thing to know the final price of them in most models we have to indicate the size.

The normal thing in an online store of alliances and alternative wedding bands is that they have a size meter, but also if you make a mistake or prefer another size the problem is not serious. You can always increase or decrease the size of the alliances, yes, as long as we talk of gold alliances, in the titanium or steel alliances it is not possible to make that modification.
