Inside Ring Shape/Style

Comfort fit means the edges are rounded on the inside of the ring, where it touches the skin. This allows for the ring to slide on easier.

Estimated Weight

The "estimated weight" is based on several factors:

Metal Type used in manufacturing or combination of metals
Width of item
Height or Thickness of item
Ring Size
Design or pattern (including braids or twisted ropes, etc.)
Precious stones (may include Diamonds, Rubies, Saphires, etc.)

Based on these factors we calculate an estimated weight around ±5% of the final product.

With your purchase, WeddingBands.com sends an Appraisal or Certificate of Authenticity to your order. The appraisal gives the exact weight as well as the metal price the day it ships from our facility.

Precious Metals*:

Gold: Gold is a precious metal synonymous with jewelry. At WeddingBands.com, we only use solid 14kt or 18kt gold in our products. In jewelry, gold remains the most popular precious metal.

14kt vs. 18kt - The karat rating of gold determines how much of the metal is gold versus alloys. Pieces made from 14kt gold have just over 58% gold, while 18kt gold has 75% gold. Gold is mixes with alloys to produce a sturdy product. 24kt gold or pure gold is easy to bend and damage due to the soft nature of gold.

Our rings come stamped with a rating of "585" or "14K" for 14kt gold or "750" or "18K" for 18kt gold.

Platinum: Platinum is the most expensive precious metal available in jewelry. At WeddingBands.com, we use 950 platinum or 95% Pure platinum, the finest quality available.

Platinum does not wear away over time which creates the highest quality jewelry. Inside the ring, we stamp our rings as "950 PLATINUM or "950 PLAT" or "PLAT"".

Palladium: Palladium is a fairly new precious metal used in jewelry. It was first used in 1939 in jewelry pieces and has since grown in popularity.

Here at WeddingBands.com, only 950-palladium is used with our jewelry. The rings come stamped with "950 Palladium" on the inside of the ring.

Rhodium: Rhodium is used in jewelry typically as a plating material to produce a "mirror-like" shine on white gold pieces.

Alternative Metals:

Titanium: A light, but strong material, titanium has gained popularity in jewelry as an alternative option from gold or platinum.

Cobalt-Chromium: Cobalt-Chromium is an alternative metal sturdier than platinum and less expensive. It is not a precious metal and only recently had been introduced as a metal for use in the jewelry industry

Diamond Color:

Refers to the degree to which a diamond is colorless. Diamonds range in color from icy winter whites to warm summer whites. Diamonds are graded on a color scale established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) which ranges from D (colorless) to Z. Warmer colored diamonds (K-Z) are particularly desirable when set in yellow gold. Icy winter whites (D-J) look stunning set in white gold or platinum. Diamonds that fall below J will have a faint yellow tint that can be clearly seen. The lower down the diamond color scale the more color will be visible and less expensive. This color is not to be confused with the Z+ category. The Z+ category is for fancy colored diamonds, such as fancy yellow diamonds.

Color differences are very subtle and it is very difficult to see the difference between, say, an E and an F. Therefore, colors are graded under controlled lighting conditions and are compared to a master set for accuracy. Truly colorless stones, graded D, treasured for their rarity, are highest on the Diamond Quality Pyramid. Color, however, ultimately comes down to personal taste. At Wedding Bands .com all the diamonds we are using in our Diamond Wedding Rings are at least H in color.

Diamond Clarity:

CLARITY
Refers to the presence of inclusions in a diamond. Inclusions are natural identifying characteristics such as minerals or fractures, appearing while diamonds are formed in the earth. They may look like tiny crystals, clouds or feathers. To view inclusions, jewelers use a magnifying loupe. This tool allows jewelers to see a diamond at 10x its actual size so that inclusions are easier to see. The position of inclusions can affect the value of a diamond. There are very few flawless diamonds found in nature, thus these diamonds are much more valuable. Inclusions are ranked on a scale of perfection, known as clarity, which was established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

The clarity scale, ranging from F (Flawless) to I3 (Included), is based on the visibility of inclusions at a magnification of 10x. Some inclusions can be hidden by a mounting, thus having little effect on the perceived beauty of a diamond. An inclusion in the middle or top of a diamond could impact the dispersion of light, sometimes making the diamond less brilliant. The greater a diamond's clarity, the more brilliant, valuable and rare it is-and the higher it is on the Diamond Quality Pyramid, the more the diamond will cost. At WeddingBands.com all the diamonds that we are using in the Diamond Wedding Bands are at least VS2 in clarity.

Diamond Cut:

CUT
Refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond. Based on scientific formulas, a well-cut diamond will internally reflect light from one mirror-like facet to another, disperse, and reflect it through the top of the stone. This results in a display of brilliance and fire, thereby placing well-cut diamonds higher on the Diamond Quality Pyramid than deep or shallow-cut diamonds. Diamonds that are cut too deep or too shallow lose or leak light through the side or bottom, resulting in less brilliance and ultimately, value. At Wedding Bands .com the diamonds we use in our Diamond Wedding Rings are all very fine cut to show the maximum brilliancy and fire.

Cut also refers to shape-round, square, pear, or heart for example. Since a round diamond is symmetrical and capable of reflecting nearly all the light that enters, it is the most brilliant of all diamond shapes and follows specific proportional guidelines. Ask a jeweler to find out more about these guidelines. Non-round shapes, also known as "fancy shapes," will have their own guidelines to be considered well-cut.

Free Appraisal

An appraisal is a document used to state the current and most updated market value of the jewelry piece. Appraisals are mainly used for insurance purposes. It helps your insurance company know the current value of your jewelry piece to insure it properly. If your jewelry piece is lost, damaged, stolen or any other problems occur; an appraisal helps the insurance company cover the value for replacement.

The appraisal will include information such as weight of the jewelry piece, clarity and color of the diamonds, diamond weight, type of metal, colored gemstone identification, gemological laboratory certificate numbers, a picture of the jewelry piece, and any other detailed information about your jewelry. The more detailed the appraisal the better for you and your insurance company to help cover the loss.

At WeddingBands.com, we are happy to provide an appraisal for any jewelry piece over $1,000.00USD in value. If your jewelry piece is less than $1,000.00USD and you would still like an appraisal, feel free to request one in the "special instructions" box.

If you have any questions, please contact us at: (888) 422-4333, or (952) 892-1700
