Alliances that last over time, like the love of the couple.

The time to choose wedding bands is an important decision, which is why from Roosik&Co we share some tips or curiosities around these very symbolic jewels.

materials

First of all, you need to pay attention to the materials from which the rings are made. You have to think that they are jewelry for everyday use and that, moreover, they will accompany you for a lifetime. If it is 18-carat gold or platinum, you can rest assured that your jewelry will last over time. Ask your jeweler if they make their own gold alloy. It is a very important point in the process, as this way you can guarantee with absolute certainty which elements the gold in your ring is made of, preventing it from causing you allergies.

design

Each couple is unique and has its own personality. The range of designs is wide and attractive , it is easy to find an option that suits your tastes. However, each piece is customized and tailored by playing with the following features:

Color and material : white gold, yellow or rose and/or platinum . It is also possible to make bicolor rings.
The shape: round, squares, waves or with irregular shapes
The size: premiums , stockings, thick In the case of wedding rings, it is advisable to choose rings of medium size or of a certain thickness so that they are more resistant to the passage of time.
With or without diamonds. Women's wedding rings can be distinguished from men's wedding rings by the inclusion of a small diamond or of a set of diamonds that are arranged in half turn or full turn along the ring.
finished mat or bright
The couple can opt for alliances together , of the same design, although the choice of different alliances is becoming more and more frequent.

Size of the rings

The wedding ring should fit, like a dress. It is adjusted as many times as necessary until it is comfortable for the wearer. A few weeks before the wedding, it is advisable to do a ring size test. With the nerves and the preparations, weight changes are common in future brides and grooms, and one of the body parts that are the first to lose weight are the fingers.

Ring engraving

It is common to engrave the couple's names on wedding rings. As possible ideas, we will tell you that his name is usually engraved on the female alliance and hers on the male one, the wedding date or the initials.

Where is the wedding ring placed?

In Catalonia, tradition indicates that the alliance must take the place of the engagement ring, that is, the ring finger of the left hand. The engagement ring would then go on the ring finger of the right hand. However, this tradition is different from other places or countries, even within Spanish territory. From Roosik&Co, we advise that the wedding ring is worn on the hand that is not used so that it lasts longer and remains shiny and intact.

Guaranteed forever

Wedding rings should last a lifetime as they did on the first day. It is important to have it serviced periodically, every year or two, in order to polish the surface scratches of the ring and check the gems or diamonds so that they are still well held.

At Roosik&Co the first maintenance, after two years, is free. From then on you will enjoy a special price as customers of Roosik&Co. You can come and see us whenever you want!
