Whichever way you may choose to look at it, the one fact that is impossible to avoid is the key point of an engagement ring. For most brides, it is to create as great a visual effect as possible, so that it stands out in the crowd after being worn. This is why so many brides and grooms spend their hard-earned money to acquire the brightest and the biggest stone the jeweller can provide in order to bring a smile on their partner’s face.
This is certainly not true of every bride or groom out there. In fact, for every admirer of a glamorous and bright fancy princess-cut diamond, there will be others who are perfectly happy with a simple and slightly understated engagement ring. For many, the prototype of the ‘wedding ring’ or ‘engagement ring’, usually made of gold or silver, remains a perennial popular alternative to glamorous diamonds and has its own unique charm. Here are some of the reasons why couples continue to choose this type of ring to express their love for each other.
Classic And Classy:
In contrast to shiny, glittering diamonds, a classic gold or silver engagement ring band conveys an image of calm, class and tradition. With its simple lines and solid, yet appealing look, this type of band speaks to a more classical-leaning personality, almost the complete opposite of the show-off nature of large diamonds. This type of band continues to go in favour of the more traditionally-minded brides and grooms over an increasingly range of diamond alternatives.
Understated Charm:
Another consideration for a classic gold or silver moissanite engagement ring band is its understated nature. Again, in contrast to those rings topped by a diamond or even less gemstones, where high visibility is the key, traditional gold or silver bands blend very nicely with any outfit and are usually noticeable enough to convey their message without looking obscure.
For this reason, these types of bands usually appeal to introverts or to those who do not care to flash their jewellery all over the world. They only wish their rings to complement their outfits on a regular basis and something that goes well and reflects their personality. And since this is a huge demographic, the popularity of this type of engagement ring band should be confirmed in the coming decades.
Of course, the most important factor for the continued success of this type of band is the personal taste of each individual couple. However, the set of features that these gems present contribute in no small number and this keeps them at the top of the list of preferences for couples watching out for a different type of engagement ring.
