Choosing a Wedding Band
It might not seem like a very easy thing to do, but shopping for a wedding band is actually quite a bit easier than shopping for an engagement ring. An engagement ring is the focal point of the wedding set, so it is going to really be where you want to put a lot of your focus. But even still, you also have to find something that is going to match said engagement ring and not detract from the ring or make a strange-looking pair.
You will want to think about the look and style of her engagement ring. Whether she has something classic or something trendy, we feel like a classic look such as a pear-cut diamond eternity band is a great choice. But more on that below. So you will want to choose a piece that isn’t going to draw attention away from her engagement ring and if possible, you want something that is going to accentuate it. You also want to make sure that you aren’t getting a wedding band that is going to make the engagement ring look small or create difficulties for daily wear. She has to be able to partake in her daily activities while still wearing the ring.
The Stunning Elegance of Classic Styles
There is a lot to be said about cutting-edge and trendy styles and there are many places where this makes sense. We, however, don’t really feel like a wedding set is one of those places. Just think about how trends work. They can come and go incredibly quickly. But your engagement ring and wedding band are something she is supposed to wear every day for the rest of her life. If you choose something trendy, what happens when it falls out of style? She is either left with an unfashionable ring, or you have to shell out the money for something new.
This is why we feel the classics are best for both a wedding band and an engagement ring. Classics are those styles that have a timeless look and feel that can defy trends. The simple elegance of these designs transcends time and looks great for any time period. Think about the little black dress. This is one of those pieces that looks great no matter what the current vogue is. There are pieces of jewelry, such as the pear-cut diamond eternity band we feature here, that are a great example of this.
The Eternity Band
There are quite a few classic styles that have that timeless look that never falls out of fashion. We feel that we make a strong case as to why it really does make sense to stick with a classic style for this purpose. There are plenty of great applications for high-end trendy or bold jewelry, but we don’t feel like a wedding set is one of them. While the choice is up to you, the wedding band that we feature here is in one of these classic and timeless styles. What we have here is an eternity band. While we normally see eternity bands with round brilliant-cut diamonds, what we have here is one that features pear-cut diamonds.
An eternity band features a row of gemstones that encircle most of all of the band of the ring. What we see here is a full eternity band, meaning the diamonds go all the way around the ring. There is beautiful symbolism in this style that people love as well. The style is meant to illustrate two joining as one, for eternity. When it comes to a representation of a happy and loving relationship, we really like this sentiment.
Pear-Cut Diamonds
The pear-cut diamond is an elegant and popular cut that looks great in a wide range of different types of jewelry. You may also see this cut referred to as a teardrop cut. This is a highly-unique shape and cut that is unlike pretty much any other cut you can find.
Firstly, this is a cut that, though it has a unique shape, is still cut with brilliance in mind. When we are talking about diamonds, brilliance refers to the sparkle and glint that the stone gives off in the light. This is the result of many facets cut into the surface of the stone, all of which give off that play of light we all know and love.
An interesting thing about the pear cut is that it is a blending of two different cuts. The oval-cut diamond and the Marquis-cut diamond. This gives it one rounded end and one that comes to a point. It is this look that gives the cut its iconic look and feel.
There are different ratios that you can choose from with pear-cut diamonds. The higher the ratio, the more the stone will elongate. What works best for you is going to be a matter of style and preference.
White Gold
There is a lot to love about gold, but there are some that don’t care for the buttery yellow hue of traditional yellow gold. Thankfully, there are alternatives. One of the most popular, and that features in the pear-cut diamond eternity band we look at here, is white gold. Interestingly, white gold was an invention to provide a more affordable alternative to platinum. People love the cool silvery brightness that platinum offers. However, since the metal is so rare, it comes with a very hefty price tag. This is what led to the development of white gold.
All gold that is used in jewelry is actually an alloy of gold and other metals. In its pure form, gold is much too soft to be made into jewelry as it would quickly lose its shape. With white gold, pure gold is blended with other metals to create an alloy, just as is done with traditional yellow gold. The big difference is the metals that are blended with the gold. For yellow gold, pure gold is blended with other yellow metals such as copper. When it comes to white gold, pure gold is blended with zinc, palladium, or other silvery materials. Oftentimes, white gold will also have a rhodium or platinum coating to help enhance that cool sheen.
Durability and Quality Materials
Clearly, you are going to want to choose a piece that will work with her engagement ring and that is of fine design. But there is a lot more to think about than just this. When it comes to a wedding band, it, too, is going to be worn every day for the rest of her life. That means it is going to need to be able to withstand the rigors of her daily life without threatening breakage. For this reason, high-quality materials are key. When you choose high-quality materials, you are helping to ensure that you are getting something that will stand the test of time.
High-quality diamonds and white gold do more than just look better – though their quality is clearly visible to the naked eye. They are also tougher and more durable, which are characteristics that are important for something she will wear every day. The piece also needs to be well-made. The last thing you want is for metal to crack or dull or gemstones to receive damage or even fall out. This is another reason why we feel that quality is so important and make it a priority for anything that features in our display cases.
Surprisingly Versatile
There are a lot of things to love about the pear-cut diamond eternity band that we feature here. First and foremost is the stunning elegance this simple piece offers. It has one of those timeless designs that look great, no matter what is currently in fashion. Another great feature of a ring like this is the level of versatility it has. Just remember, she is going to have to wear this ring every day for the rest of her life. While she is, of course, going to want to look like a princess on her wedding day, the rings are also going to have to look proper for her daily life and wardrobe.
Classic styles also have the benefit of looking good with pretty much any type of fashion. This means you can wear these styles with trendy modern styles, vintage styles, and even quirky and whimsical styles. And, as her style is likely to change as she ages, she has the benefit of a piece of jewelry that can easily evolve with her. This ring will look great with formal or casual attire and is tough enough to withstand the rigors of her daily life.
