HOW TO CHOOSE THE SIZE OF A GOLD RING?

Given the plethora of creations offered by jewelers, choosing a women's gold ring is not always easy. Here are some criteria not to be overlooked to find the piece of jewelry that best meets your expectations and requirements. Whether you want to buy a ring for yourself or are planning to give it as a gift, knowing the finger size is an essential step. In addition to measuring the finger circumference with a ring sizer, you can also take another ring that already fits your finger and measure its inner diameter. This data allows you to determine the circumference of your future piece of jewelry. The use of a virtual ring sizer is also possible. You can place the ring on the circles of the online ring sizer and choose the one offering an inner diameter corresponding to it.

WHICH COLOURS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Depending on the material used, a gold ring can be yellow, rose, or white. White gold is particularly suitable for those who like a modern style. A white gold ring allows you to remain discreet while still being very refined, especially if it is set with a diamond, for a particularly successful tone-on-tone pairing. A yellow gold ring, on the other hand, is for those who prefer a classic and more striking look. The intensity of this golden color varies according to the degree of purity of the metal used in its manufacture. An interesting alternative between the warmth of yellow and the discretion of white, the rose gold ring appeals with its dynamic tone and originality. The softness of the color allows it to highlight the brilliance of the precious stones adorning the ring. Although it suits all skin tones, a rose gold ring shines more brightly on darker skin.

FINESSE AND STYLE, A JEWEL FOR EVERY PERSONALITY

If the jewel is for you, choosing the style should not be a particular problem. For a ring to give as a gift, pay attention to the jewelry the person already wears. Does she prefer a rather wide ring or does she like delicacy, what shape of ring does she appreciate, and what is her style: classic, modern, or original? Whatever the chosen ring, gold displays more brilliance when accompanied by a precious stone. Each gem has its meaning, between sapphire, emerald, ruby, and diamond, it's up to you to find the one that best conveys your message or best reflects your personality. For the arrangement of stones on the setting, you can choose between a white gold diamond ring solitaire adorned with a large central gem or a trilogy ring. Set with three stones, this ring symbolizing past, present, and future love is also perfect as an engagement ring.

HOW TO CLEAN A GOLD RING?

Simple and economical tips can restore your gold ring to its former glory. In principle, you just need to soak the piece of jewelry in a solution, gently rub it with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt, rinse with water, and then let it dry inside a cotton cloth or a clean towel. For the basic solution, you can choose between a mixture of water and Marseille soap, water and baking soda, Coca-Cola, or hot water and white vinegar. If the gold ring is set with precious stones, use a solution of lukewarm water and Marseille soap or dish soap. Other products may alter the quality of the gemstone. For a women's white gold ring, the brilliance of the jewelry comes from the thin layer of rhodium applied to the ring. A new rhodium plating is recommended every five years so that the metal can regain its original shine.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE A GOLD RING?

Distinguishing a gold ring from a gold-plated or costume jewel is not always easy. Several techniques can help you authenticate your ring. The first method involves detecting the State hallmarks engraved on the piece of jewelry. These signs indicate the gold content expressed in karats. A hallmark in the shape of an owl or eagle's head is used for 18-karat gold, a scallop shell for 14-karat gold, and a clover for 9-karat gold. If this information is not available, other methods can be used. The first is to try to attract the ring with a magnet; if the test is positive, it means it is not gold, as this metal is not susceptible to this type of attraction. You can also soak your jewelry in bleach or silver cleaner for a day. After this period, the absence of oxidation will authenticate the quality of your jewelry. Other tests, such as one using nitric acid, can also be applied. Upon contact with this product, pure gold causes no chemical reaction, while gold-plated products turn green or white.

Which stone should I choose for my ring?

There are several criteria for choosing a stone. Firstly, for its symbolism: choosing a wedding band set with a diamond is a symbol of an eternal vow of love. A ring set with a ruby will symbolize love, vitality, and the heart; an emerald, sincerity and newness; a sapphire, happiness and peace. These symbolisms are sometimes historical and depend on the era and location. The symbolism can be different for a man or a woman.

It is important to choose a stone according to one's taste, but also according to the metal with which it is associated: an emerald or a diamond will not have the same appearance and enhancement if it is associated with white, rose or yellow gold. Materials are also associated according to their rarity: diamonds are rarely associated with silver. It is also important to consider the other elements that make up the ring: mother-of-pearl, lacquer, pearls or small diamonds will affect the color of the jewel and thus the harmony of colors.

Finally, quality is the paramount criterion for selecting an ornament. Indeed, it is better to choose a high-quality fine stone or mineral (tourmaline, peridot, pearl) than a precious stone (emerald, diamond, ruby) of mediocre quality.
