Design Wedding Ring Jewelry
Is sterling silver an okay choice in wedding jewelry?
I’ve found a lot of designs in sterling silver that I love, but I’m unsure about the quality. I don’t wear jewelry much, so I’m a newbie to this. I want my engagement ring and wedding band to be high quality and be the same jewelry I die in (dark, I know)…would sterling silver be able to pull this off?
I’ve heard that oxygen will darken the ring over time, but you can polish it back to a shine…..is this accurate? And does this polishing simply clean the ring or is it doing away with a layer? I don’t want to have less ring over time, which is my concern with white gold. Anything else I would need to take into consideration? Pros/Cons?
I only like white metals, and I love the idea of platinum, but it’s priced a little high. And palladium would be a great alternative, but I’m having trouble finding palladium settings I like, there doesn’t seem to be much out there.
Would really appreciate any help with any of the above.
The oxygen thing is actually quite true. They darken over just a few weeks but if you polish them even with your t-shirt they will stay shiny. owo
I have a ring my grandfather made for me out of a sterling silver spoon. xD He cut off the spoon part so there was just the handle and bent it around a pole with a rubber mallet. I washed it only once and the dullness was immediately gone. It was shiny and good as new within seconds. So, yes. You should try silver.
