Sterling Silver Ring Guard

Buying a Ring Guard is the newest way to beautifully protect your engagement ring

A ring guard is a type of ring enhancer. Ring guards are commonly used to protect an engagement ring, but the days of boring ring guards are over. Now, ring guards are exceptionally beautiful, coming in various styles and looks. There are a few important things to keep in mind when choosing ring guards. You need to know what look you want to achieve, what price range you want to be in, and the metal and stone options available to you.

Ring guards come in many shapes. One of the most common types of ring guards is the very sturdy, mostly metal ring guard. These types of ring guards are most commonly used to protect the engagement ring without much thought to fashion. Since your center stone might have a lot of exposed edges, which is the most delicate part of the diamond, these ring guards offers a barrier of protection against damage. Other types of ring guards offer protection as well, but have a lot more stones and dazzle to them.

Another common variety of ring guards set with stones. Ring guards adorned with stones offer more than just protection. They offer a look enhancement that is unequaled by just a wedding band. The stones can come in many varieties and shapes. Many people choose diamonds because they match their engagement ring, but if you are on a budget, choosing Cubic Zirconia is also a great way to achieve the matching look. Also, colored stones are an increasingly popular look. You can choose a colored stones simply for its looks or for sentimental reasons. For example, if you want to use a birth stone, that’s a great idea or you can chose the birth stone from the month that you were married as a symbol of a birth of your new life. Many women choose to use their children’s birth stones in their ring guards to give it even more sentimental meaning.

Another very common play on ring guards, regardless of what type you choose is the type of metal. Traditionally people choose the same color metal engagement rings and ring guards. That’s not necessary. In fact, you can achieve a superior looking bridal set by mixing and matching metal colors. The only thing to keep in mind is that you want to stick in the same metal families so that the wearing of the rings stays the same. For example, you can match 14 karat white gold ring guards to 14 karat yellow gold engagement rings, but you wouldn’t want to match platinum to gold. The reason for that is that they wear differently. Although, if you are on a budget and choose to purchase sterling silver ring guards to match your 14 karat gold engagement ring, the price might be $30, so if it wears differently, you won’t really mind. You would just buy a new one when the silver guard wears.

Budget is always a major consideration when purchasing any piece of jewelry. It is very easy to buy ring guards on a small budget. You can choose sterling silver as the metal, and cubic zirconia as the stone. If that combination is chosen, you can purchase ring guards for under $30.00. The best bet for finding inexpensive ring guards is to shop online. Many traditional jewelers do not make it easy for you to browse and spend time shopping because they feel it is a waste of their time for such a small sale. They can even be downright rude about it. Personally, I prefer to shop online, where I can spend hours perusing and choosing with nobody to pressure me to make a decision.

It’s easy to understand why the ring guard has become one of the biggest trends in bridal jewelry today. It allows you to mix and match colors and stones without having to actually make any changes to your engagement ring. This offers you versatility beyond expectations. As always, ring guards offer very fashionable protection to your engagement ring. You can consider it a fashion chic shield for your engagement ring!
