Ring materials, importance and meaning.
We all know the most common types of rings (promise, engagement, and wedding bands), but what about the materials? They're incredibly important no matter what type of ring you choose. That's why today we're bringing you a list of the most popular materials for ring making.
Importance.
Special jewelry for a loved one takes many forms and materials that vary greatly from person to person. Depending on the type of ring, they come with or without stones, from tungsten to gold or platinum. You can choose a model from the store or, if money allows, spend a small fortune on the ring of your dreams, something completely personalized.
It all depends on us and how well we know our partner, or failing that, how well we both agree and choose the perfect ring, with the materials and shapes we've always dreamed of. There's no wrong choice, whether it's a surprise or a joint decision.
We've previously talked about the symbolism and meaning of engagement ring stones on this blog, but it's time to focus on the.
Materials:
• Tungsten: Tungsten jewelry is actually pieces of tungsten carbide, which is an alloy of 80% tungsten and a 20% mixture of carbon and other metals. These rings are fairly inexpensive and can be found in gray or lustrous white.
• Cobalt: This is a durable material with a hardness that makes it perfect for everyday use. This material allows for a wider variety of designs with stone inlays and engravings of all kinds.
• Carbon: Its main characteristic, besides its black color, is its lightness and robustness. Jewelry made with carbon fibers bonded together by natural resins is a good option for those looking for durable and affordable wedding rings.
• Stainless steel: Used for all types of jewelry, and with a very affordable price for the average person, stainless steel is an excellent choice. It doesn't cause any allergies and can be shiny or matte; it's a personal choice.
• Titanium: One of the most difficult materials to scratch. Titanium (depending on the treatment) produces a range of colors from yellow to black. However, prices at this point are no longer as affordable, so keep that in mind.
• Gold: This precious metal can be found in three colors: gold, the most conventional, white, and rose. 24-karat gold is the purest, but also the most expensive. Its market price is usually around 800 pesos per gram.

• Platinum: Another exclusive and expensive material due to its quality and beauty. Like gold, it may scratch, but polishing will restore it to its natural color. It's very durable and won't change color. It's a material that isn't abundant in nature, so its price is quite high, but once you wear it, you'll forget how much it cost.
The meaning is yours
At the end of the day, what people recommend in stores, what you research online, what you hear by word of mouth—it's all irrelevant if you're not happy with the design. Don't worry about conventional materials or the most popular ring shapes. As we mentioned earlier, it all comes down to how well you know each other and what you're looking for in a ring.
You can find inspiration everywhere: in magazines, books, TV shows, or movies. Listening to a song or reading a poem. Walking down the street, watching the sunset. Or better yet, being with that special person who makes you look at the world and life differently, filling you with joy and feelings, feelings you'd like to express in words and actions.
Now all that's left is to channel everything you feel into the perfect ring.
