If your choice is wedding ring with small detail or engraving consider platinum or palladium. These two metals are extremely hard wearing and have low maintenance. They don’t tarnish or scratch as easy as yellow or white gold do. It is a great choice for couples who use their hands a lot for work such as construction or in a factory. Platinum has the highest property and is closely followed by palladium.
For yellow or rose gold wedding rings for women, opt for 18 karats or higher. Despite the fact that higher karat alloys are a bit softer they have higher abrasion resistance. This property makes the rings last longer and is looked at as extremely important for your everyday ring.
If you are selecting wedding rings for women to fit behind an engagement ring then it’s not a bad idea to avoid high prong set diamond bands that go far between the fingers. This setting tends to grab clothing often and can cause irritation to the skin. The smoothest style is plain channel setting. Avoid hollowed designs because they are much more likely to collect dirt. Thin bands wear a lot faster than other bands. With thin bands, you will be having it worked on much more often than thicker wedding rings. Even platinum wedding band will scratch and eventually be due to refresh. It takes platinum rings much longer to scratch due to the property of the metal. Avoiding complicated mix finishes (polished and matt in sequence for example) will make refreshing easy and error free. Choosing palladium or platinum will eliminate the need for frequent and sometimes costly rhodium plating.
