Problems can arise from high-profile, bulky engagement rings made of gemstones or diamonds. They are also more susceptible to damage and wear. There is an answer. First responders have the option of a low-profile (or low-set) engagement ring. These rings have a lower setting, and the head of precious gemstones is closer to the finger.
Top Tips for Buying the Best Engagement Ring
- Choose a ring that has fewer accent stones. This will prevent snagging. You don’t want your ring to get caught on machinery, tools or sutures. This is possible if you wear a low-set ring.
- Choose a coloured gemstone with round edges or a centre diamond. If you want an emerald or pear shape, make sure the prongs cover the tapered tip. You must wear gloves when working with your hands as first responders. You don’t want to lose a ring or have it scratched by stones.
- Learn about different stone shapes. The most popular shapes are round, pear, princess, oval and circle. Although less common, marquise, cushion, emerald and marquise are equally beautiful and can make for unique settings. Importantly, the shape of the stone can impact the price of the ring. Do your research!
- Select the right material for your ring. Metal strength is dependent on what metal you use. As a first responder, it is important to have something sturdy and durable. The next section will find more information about our recommendations for setting metals.
- You don’t need to be safe. While classic diamond-encrusted engagement rings are lovely, why not try something different? e.g., blue gemstones, pear engagement rings, emerald cut engagement rings, black diamond engagement rings, etc. These gems make some of the most beautiful gemstone engagement rings.
- Research Lab Created Diamonds: You can now choose to purchase a ring with either a lab-created diamond or a natural one. Lab-created diamonds are created in controlled laboratories. Natural diamonds are natural stones that were formed naturally. Lab diamonds are identical in their chemical, physical, and visual makeup. Lab-created diamonds are usually cheaper. It is easier to choose the right ring for you and your partner by understanding the differences between these precious stones.
Everything about Metal Settings
What is better, silver or gold?
Silver is very weak and can cause scratches and dings. White gold, compared to yellow and rose gold, can be a little weaker. This can be overcome by making sure your white gold ring has been rhodium-plated. This makes the ring more durable and resistant to wear. For strength and sparkle, all Clarity’s white-gold engagement rings are rhodium-plated.
Platinum
Platinum is another option. Although this dense metal is more resistant to scratching than gold, it will feel heavier on your fingers. Platinum rings are more durable than gold and are therefore more expensive.
Titanium
Titanium is stronger than platinum, but it feels lighter than platinum. This metal setting is also very easy to maintain. While being an alternative, titanium is not as resistant to bacteria as gold, silver, or platinum. We must emphasize that not all metals can resist all bacteria. First responders should ensure that they clean engagement rings thoroughly.
Rhodium
Clarity offers rhodium plating for white gold engagement rings. The rhodium plating is added by Clarity to their white gold engagement rings.
