Selecting the best Ring Width for your Wedding Rings.

Posted on: September 30th, 2012 by Sine Treanor No Comments

Ring Width is an important consideration when choosing your wedding rings, it should suit the size of your fingers and hands. For instance, a very wide ring on a small finger may not be the best choice, but a larger hand can suit even the widest rings.

If in doubt, ask our advisors. It is also a better idea to choose a slightly larger size than you normally wear for the wider rings, it makes it easier to fit on your finger. Here we will look in a little more detail at three more of our most popular wedding rings, in slim, medium and wide designs.

Ida Claddagh Wedding Ring (C-357)

Love, Loyalty & Friendship

If you are looking for wedding rings which have plenty of Celtic symbolism, the “Ida” could be the perfect choice. The ancient design of the Trinity Knot is featured all the way around the center of the band, but in addition there is a beautiful Claddagh featured in the middle.

The Trinity Knot is known to symbolize The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, while the Claddagh, with it’s associations of love, friendship and loyalty consists of two hands holding a heart wearing a crown, makes it the perfect design for a wedding ring.

The beauty of this ring is in its simplicity.There are 14k gold versions in white or yellow gold and also platinum for both ladies and gents This is one of our most popular styles and prices start from $395.

It is also very eye catching, the raised Celtic Knot design, which represents endless love, is polished, as are the outside edges of the ring.

This provides a beautiful contrast with the matt finish background. The design is suitable for both ladies and gents and the widths are 3.80mm for the ladies ring and the gents ring is 5.40mm, making this a great choice for the smaller hand. Available in 14k white or yellow gold, this beautiful ring starts from $545.

This is a truly stunning wedding ring which would be a real talking point, no photo can do it justice! If you would like a slightly wider ring, this one is a generous 6.1mm – 6.2mm width for the ladies and 7.2mm – 7.3mm for the gents version.

The famous Claddagh design is featured all around the middle of the band and is a raised and polished pattern, while the outside edges of the ring are also polished. The contrast is provided by the matt finish background to the Claddagh.

One Ring Instead of Two?

Posted on: August 6th, 2012 by Sine Treanor No Comments

An alternative idea to the usual combination of separate engagement ring and wedding ring worn together, is to choose just one ring, (echoes of Lord of the Rings?) which will combine both. This idea is becoming more popular and the ring can either be a traditional style gem set engagement ring, or a wedding ring which is more decorative than usual and set with precious stones.

While this may initially seem a little unusual, there are several advantages to this idea, one of which is cost. Instead of having the expense of two rings, you could save money by opting for just the one and end up with a really stunning ring. Another advantage is that there is no necessity to match up two rings, if you don’t get it right, sometimes one can detract from the other.

We will first look at some of our wedding rings, which are ornate enough to suit this use, in our next article, we will look at engagement rings which could also be dual purpose. If you like the rings, but feel you would prefer to have two separate rings, we offer suggestions on many of the item pages for styles which will match perfectly.
