pipe cut tungsten bands are the traditional design that suits any wedding ceremony
Author: admin
After that long awaited proposal of marriage, one of the first decisions to make, among a host of others, is ‘what wedding ring to choose?’ A plain wedding ring? Domed or pipe cut tungsten rings? Or even patterned? Following this decision, shape, metal and colour are all more things to think about. More and more couples are finding that flat top wedding rings are the way to go.
On average 4.5mm wide men`s wedding ring, the additional weight is about 25%. Another decisive factor for the quality of the wedding band is the height of the dome. This parameter adds heavily to the weight and respectively to the price, but on the other hand contributes greatly to the appearance and longevity of the band. Good quality wedding rings have substantial thickness and never go off round in shape. Comfort fit wedding bands have less surface touching the finger thus are less likely to cause skin irritation due to sweat trapped in between. In my long experience as studio jeweler I had many cases of cutting wedding ring stuck and sometimes badly imbedded in the customer`s finger, but not one of these bands was a comfort fit one. I am always recommending this type of wedding band to my customers, use comfort fit on my engagement rings and even on dress rings if the design permits. Practicality is often an overlooked factor when it comes to jewelry but for pieces like wedding ring and engagement ring is of paramount importance. These type of rings are worn full time everyday and their design has to be aligned with one’s life style.
