Gold wedding rings
Since generations, Gold has been hight sought after. It has grown to be known as a symbol of wealth. One of the reasons that Temple and Grace clients’ prefer having a gold wedding ring is because gold does not rust, corrode or tarnish. Alloyed gold comes in a choice of various colours including White, Yellow and Rose. The purity of the gold in the wedding band will depend on the carat you select online. You can identify the gold carat by reading the carat stamp on the wedding ring’s inner circle. Temple and Grace Gold wedding bands are made in 9K and 18K. It is important to note that the higher the carat selected, the higher the ring’s fine gold content.
White Gold wedding rings
White Gold is an alloy created from 24K Yellow Gold and other naturally white precious metals. Like other Gold alloys, White Gold comes in a range of carats and is often plated with Rhodium. This makes the White Gold ring look even whiter and shine brighter.
Rose Gold wedding bands
Rose gold or pink gold again is an alloy of 24K Yellow Gold. Copper is used in amalgamation with Yellow Gold to create a pinkish hue to create magical rose gold rings.
Platinum wedding rings
Platinum is the rarest and one of the most valuable precious metal. Only a small amount of platinum is produced each year, and this enhances its’ value. Platinum is hypoallergenic and does not lose it’s lustre or tarnish with time.
Titanium wedding rings

Warren spent a total of 11 years studying, starting his jeweler's apprenticeship in 1986 and his gemmology studies in 1989. I gained a thorough understanding of the vast array of treatments and enhancements used in the jewelry industry thanks to gemmology. These processes make the 90% - 95% of poor quality diamonds and gems look fantastic, especially when commercially cut (badly and hide issues).
This fact is critical in understanding why the industry must prioritize clearing out the low-quality majority. So, at every stage, the goal is to cut, treat, grade, and market in every way possible in order to achieve deceptively higher quality grades, allowing for a larger mark-up and potential profit. True quality comes at the highest cost and is always in high demand.

When is the ideal time to purchase an engagement ring?
One of the most important purchases you'll ever make is an engagement ring. It is also frequently one of the most expensive, with the average American spending approximately $6000 on an engagement ring. So it makes sense to think about how to get the best deal on an engagement ring and when the best time to buy is.
If you want an early takeaway, it's that the best time often varies from person to person, and each season has advantages and disadvantages.
While there is no such thing as a "perfect" time to buy an engagement ring, there are some buying tips you can use regardless of when you decide to buy.
Buy for your sweetie in the summer.
Since sales are down in summer months, this is the best time of the year to snag a deal on the best engagement ring.
Keep in mind the peak period for buying engagement rings (when you’re more likely to have to pay full price) is between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. This is when approximately 39 per cent of proposals take place, according to The Knot Magazine.
Go only after you’ve done your homework.
You wouldn’t buy a car without doing your homework first, so don’t skip this pertinent step when shopping for the perfect ring. On average, engagement rings go for around $5,000 a pop, TheKnot adds, so you’ll definitely want to get the biggest bang for your buck. The four Cs, which are colour, clarity, carat and cut, are worth understanding before commencing the search process because they’ll determine both the appearance and price point of the rings you’ll be examining.
Another tip: it’s not always necessary to go with the highest quality diamond on the market. Stones that are lasered to remove imperfections can save you up to 30 per cent, Antoinette Matlins, author of Engagement & Wedding Rings: The Definitive Buying Guide for People in Love, told MarketWatch. And less popular cuts, such as ovals and hearts, could also slash the price in half.
After Christmas, Before Valentine’s Day
February 14 is another favourite day for proposals. Shopping for an engagement ring in late December and early January can be advantageous since you’ll likely beat the crowds.
Some promotional sales will be happening, although you’ll see minimal percentages with high-quality vendors like James Allen and Brian Gavin Diamonds (because you’re getting a great price to begin with).
After Valentine’s Day, in the Spring
Get ahead of other spring and summer proposals by shopping soon after Valentine’s Day and in early spring. You won’t feel pressured with holiday sales or large crowds. Jewellers and vendors will likely have more time to spend with you. Some spring promotions may be available but aren’t as frequent as during the holidays. You’ll have plenty of time to look for the right engagement ring.
Wait until you have established your budget.
Only fools rush into love. Be smart about this purchase by putting a spending limit on it (your significant other will thank you for this, considering she’s going to eventually take on whatever debt you have). What are your financial goals as a team? Has your partner firmly expressed the desire to head into the union debt-free? These factors will play a large role in the number of funds allocated to the ring budget.
Maybe you’re crunched for cash? That shouldn’t necessarily delay your proposal to your significant other. You could look into getting a credit card that has an introductory 0% APR rate for a year (or even more) and use it solely for this purchase (just be sure you can pay off the ring by time the intro period ends or you will have to pay a high-interest rate). But also be realistic about what you can afford in the long run. You don’t have to buy the shiniest, most expensive object.
