Style: Look for a ring or a band that suits the finger size. Pick elongated shapes for slim and long fingers or round cut Diamonds for soft chubby hands.

Wear-ability: Some times people are allergic to certain metals. Platinum suits all hyposensitive skin types. Secondly see to it that the ring is well curved to avoid any mishaps. The setting should not hinder convenience. Go for sleeker wedding rings.

Durability: The metal, stone and setting are the three standards to be confirmed. The metal should be hard enough to withstand scratching. Certain stones are too soft to resist regular wearing; here diamond would be least problematic. The setting of the gem should be able to hold the stone securely.

Maintenance: Platinum requires least maintenance; perfect to withstand daily manhandling. Gold too needs a rare polishing.

So go ahead pick up a beautiful ring for your beautiful beloved.
