Choosing A Wedding Ring Set

Wedding ring sets are a set of 2 or 3 rings, an engagement ring plus 1 or 2 matching wedding bands which are worn next to or on either side of the engagement ring. Sets sometimes include a wedding ring for the man to wear.

They are very popular and many different sets are to be seen on display in quality jeweller's window displays. Prices can vary depending on the particular brand and also on the quality of the ring set's stones. The price can vary greatly depending on the stone's colour, clarity, carat size and cut.

They are often made from a yellow gold alloy combined with another metal such as copper, bismuth or tin. For many years, coloured gemstones set into rings or other jewellery have had a hidden meaning. If a ring contains diamond, emerald, amethyst, ruby, emerald, sapphire, plus topaz, the first letters from the names of the stones form the word 'dearest'. There are several other combinations of stones which make up other words.

A wedding ring set is possibly one of the most important items of jewellery that a couple can wear. Most couples tend to purchase matching sets in the same metals and stones. There are a large range of sets to choose from so there should be something to suit every couple. Designer bands often have a more intricately created design than traditional wedding bands. Titanium bands are an increasingly popular choice because titanium is very hardwearing and light, in addition to being less expensive than gold or platinum. Also popular is the two-toned wedding ring set. These sets combine both white and gold metals.

There are other types of materials that rings are made from. For example materials such as jade, or haematite. There are also alternative designs available, e.g. Jewish rings and Celtic rings. Celtic rings are very popular recently, and there are several designs to choose from. Some people choose to design their ring from a treasured family ring passed down to them. This is traditional and dates back centuries. Some people have the setting of the old ring (e.g. the diamond) made into their own individual piece of jewellery. Some people opt to just upgrade a gold band and retain the original stone, while others opt to put the setting into something totally different. Others utilise recycled components from jewellery to make a brand new piece.

A wedding ring set is an ideal way to ensure that your wedding rings are a great match, and each set can be exactly what you want. The man's ring, in addition to the woman's ring, should be part of a set. When all is said and done, the two of you love each other a lot, so it's normal to want your rings to match.

Some Facts About CZ Wedding Ring Sets

Since 1976, cubic zirconia (CZ) has been competing with diamonds on looks and beating them on price. Having diamonds in a wedding ring set can cost a lot of money, particularly if you want each ring in the set to have one or more diamonds. CZ is cheap enough that you can have several in each ring in the set and still not go over budget. This can make a big difference to the overall cost of a wedding, making it more affordable for the couple.

Colour
Almost all diamonds are not colourless, but have some slight colouration such as yellow or brown. A colourless one is very rarely found, and most will also have flaws such as crystal inclusions, 'feathers' or crystal face remnants such as trigons. CZ differs in this respect, it is Zirconium Dioxide in crystalline form, and is usually synthesized to be colourless and have no flaws. It can also be coloured by the addition of compounds such as Neodymium (gives purple CZ), Erbium (pink), Chromium (green), Cerium (Red, orange & yellow) and Titanium (brown). You can even have more than one of these colours in the same stone.

Appearance
There is a slight prism effect when viewing these stones that distinguishes them from diamonds, but this has been addressed by vapour deposition of a layer of amorphous diamond onto the surface. This reduces the prism effect and gives a more diamond-like appearance.

Hardness
When it comes to hardness (measured on the Mohs scale), diamond is 10 on the hardness scale and CZ is 8.

Sterling Silver CZ Wedding Ring Sets
Wedding ring sets which combine the precious metal silver with CZ have a contemporary look but without a large price tag.

White Gold CZ Wedding Ring Sets
Cheaper than platinum but with a similar look, white gold and CZ wedding sets also have a modern look. White gold is more expensive than silver.

Cheap CZ Wedding Ring Sets
The cheapest ring sets are those which use newer non-precious metals such as titanium and tungsten. Their natural colour is silver-grey but they can be anodized with a wide range of colours. They are hardwearing metals and are very fashionable.

For couples on a tight budget who would like the appearance of expensive diamond wedding sets without the huge cost, CZ is a great alternative. You just need to decide on the ring metal based on your budget, and you will have an attractive and hardwearing set that will last a lifetime.
