Right hand rings are ideal gifts especially for single women. They are called as such because unlike engagement and wedding rings, they are worn in the middle finger or the pinkie of the right hand. Right hand rings are used as bold statements by women of independence and flair. What used to be a formal jewelry in the past is now a popular fashion accessory.
How to choose right hand rings
The first thing that you need to consider in choosing a right hand ring is its use. Like engagement and wedding rings, right hand rings are meant to be worn all the time. For this reason, the ring should be made of material that can withstand prolonged wear and use. You have to choose a ring that is made of good and strong metal with gemstones and diamonds that are also long lasting. If you want gold right hand rings, you can choose 18k or 14k yellow gold. It is a very durable metal that is suitable for every day wear.
If you want a white right hand ring, you can choose between white gold and platinum. Platinum is stronger so it is the best choice when durability is the deciding factor. However, white gold is a cheaper alternative. You can choose a white gold ring if you want to keep on a budget.
Gemstones
To make the rings more beautiful and intricate, you can have the ring set with gemstones. Best choices are diamonds, rubies and pink and blue sapphires. These gemstones are strong and they do not scratch easily as opposed to semi-precious gems such as opals, garnets, amethysts, topaz, peridots and citrines.
Width
The length of the fingers should be considered in choosing the width of the right hand ring. If you have long fingers, you can choose the width with no problems. However, women with shorter fingers should refrain from choosing rings that are wider than 6mm because it would look too heavy against their fingers.
Design
One of the best things about right hand rings is that you are free to choose whatever designs that appeals to you. Wedding rings and engagement rings are very traditional that you have limited choices in terms of designs. This type of ring can be worn any way you want. You can choose from simple designs to very extravagant and bold designs. The choice is yours. All you need to do is visit your favorite jeweler and have your right hand ring custom made to your preference.
Price
Just like any other rings or jewelry, the price of right hand rings vary depending on the type of metal, number of gemstones, intricacy of design, setting style and the diamond flaws and inclusions. Right hand rings made out of sterling silver are cheaper. You can purchase a good quality ring for only less than a hundred dollars. Gemstones and diamonds set in a platinum band can cost up to several thousand dollars. Before you make any purchase, you should at least have a basic knowledge on the quality of diamonds and on choosing a good jeweler. Jewelers should be able to give you a certificate of the quality of the diamonds and metals used as well as guarantees as they would on wedding and engagement rings.
