Some women can wear a delicate diamond micro-pavé ring for years and never loosen a stone; other women will need to have the ring repaired or restored within 5 years. The difference is their lifestyles.

Is she left or right handed? Does she lift weights? Haul the boat anchor up on weekends? Garden with her rings on? Will she take her ring off for any activities that would stress the metal or settings?

If she wants a delicate ring, will she wear it like a silk blouse or a pair of jeans? We’ll teach her how to keep her beautiful ring in heirloom shape.

Will she ever want to wear her wedding ring by itself, leaving her engagement ring at home? What, you say! This can happen if you travel to an unfamiliar city where she may not feel comfortable wearing her diamond or in a number of other situations. In the event that she might want to wear the wedding band alone, will it look like a beautiful wedding ring or is it oddly curved to fit the engagement ring and look silly if worn alone like the ring at left?

Can the style of the engagement ring be modified so that it would fit a straight wedding ring? We routinely design and advise for this option.
