Way to Make Your Engagement Ring Dazzle

First, choose what color you are interested in. Most people would choose the same color ring guard and engagement ring. Just because that is the most common decision, don’t follow blindly. Perhaps choosing something more unique like a yellow one with your white gold engagement ring, or vice versa is a good way to let your individuality shine through in your jewelry choices. After all, if you like to be unique, then certainly exploring other options is a great way to go. The only word of advice here is to stay within the same metal family so that the rings wear the same. In other words, if you have a gold engagement ring, putting it next to a sterling silver one can cause the silver to wear more quickly.

Once you decide color, the next thing to look at is “heaviness” of the metal. For instance, if you have a very wide shank engagement ring, you might not choose a very thin and delicate ring. Or if you have a very thin engagement ring, choosing a very heavy one might not be the best choice. As always, keep in mind that there is not a right or wrong choice when matching your ring protector to your engagement ring. It always boils down to taste; you just need to know what you like before you make the decision. We all know it’s better to consider these options before purchasing your gold ring guard, than after!

Next on the list of things to look at when choosing your gold ring guard is setting type. Again, take a look at your engagement ring and see how the stones are set. If you want to have some sort of symmetry, then consider matching setting types in your ring protector to the setting types in your engagement ring. For example if you have a prong sent solitaire engagement ring, you might consider a prong set ring guard to compliment it. On the other hand if you don’t like symmetry, then by all means, go crazy and choose a channel set one to compliment your engagement ring… or a bar set one, or a bezel set rione, or a….. Well, you can see where this is going! Be creative.

Now make sure you take a look at your stone shapes. It’s the same point that was made above. If you like symmetry in your jewelry, then trying to stick to the same stone cuts in your ring guard is a safe bet. If you like to be daring, try mixing some different stone cuts into your ring guard. You can choose a bar set baguette diamond ring guard to go with your round solitaire engagement rings. Or you can choose a trillion cut, prong set ring guard to go with your very simple princess cut solitaire ring. In the world of ring protectors, there is no right or wrong, so have lots of fun mixing and matching.

The last bit of food for thought when purchasing your ring guard is COLOR. You can add colored stones and completely changing the look of your engagement ring. The beauty of this idea is that once you take it off of your engagement ring, you go back to your original look. You can keep on purchasing different ones with different colors in them to keep changing your look.
