Study Shows Up Preferences For Wedding Ring Metal

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

What is the most popular metal for wedding rings? A survey that was done by a store recently had some very interesting findings that popped up. Apparently, Greater Manchester people prefer white gold while people in London prefer platinum. And in Cambridge, the most popular metal is yellow gold. The study shows that from an overview, it looks like the most popular metal in the UK is white gold while coming second is platinum and then yellow gold.
For those who feel that platinum is the ruling metal today for engagement rings and wedding rings, this might come as a bit of an eye-opener. When did white gold creep into first place? And does the place you are from really have so much to do with the metal you pick? Looks that way from the survey. Considering that for years, yellow gold was a given for wedding rings, maybe the time had come for a move away for it. However, maybe tradition does play a big part so while people might move away, they still want it to be gold when it comes to wedding rings. Whatever the reason, this seems to be the trend today.
Wedding rings are so important because it means rings for both the man and his bride. While the engagement ring is all about the woman, wedding rings have something that say ‘couple’ about them. The trend today is to have matching wedding rings whenever possible and when it means wedding rings for both the man and the woman, maybe white gold makes perfect sense. The tradition of gold and yet it looks different – something that both men and women could be comfortable in.

Gold Diamond Engagement Ring Found In Langley, Canada – No Claimant

Friday, August 20th, 2010

There’s a gold engagement ring that has been found in Langley in British Columbia, Canada but thus far, no one has come forward to claim the ring. The engagement ring has a solitaire diamond in a round cut set in the centre and the setting is yellow gold. The ring is obviously very new as the price tag is still attached to it. So did some man buy it, hoping to ask the girl of his dreams to marry him and then dropped it somewhere?

Where was it found? It was found in a petrol station at Mohawk when a man stopped to fill air in his tyres. Suddenly, he noticed something on the ground, shining and when he picked it up, he saw it was a yellow gold diamond ring with, as we said, the price tag still attached.

So many engagement rings are lost all over the world and yet, there are some good souls who find them and look for their owners because they know just how sentimental in value an engagement ring can be. This, in spite of the fact that in most cases, the diamond alone will fetch a pretty penny.
