Ring Profiles
Think of the profile as the "architecture" of your ring—it’s how your piece sits and feels on your hand every single day. Here is the "bestie" breakdown of the heights and styles:
- The Cathedral: Uses graceful "arches" of metal to frame your stone. It’s a sophisticated, sturdy look that feels extra secure.
- Non-Cathedral: A sleek, minimal vibe where the stone looks like it’s beautifully "floating" above the band.
- High Setting: The "showstopper" lift! It catches maximum light and makes it super easy to stack almost any wedding band flush.
- Low Setting: The "lifestyle" choice. It hugs your finger closely for a comfortable, snag-free fit—perfect for on the go!
Metal Types
Think of your metal choice as the "glow" that sets the tone for your entire piece. Here is the quick guide to finding your perfect match:
- 14k Gold (Yellow, White, Rose): The "lifestyle" favorite! It’s extra durable and scratch-resistant, making it perfect for busy hands and everyday wear.
- 18k Gold (Yellow, White, Rose): The "luxury" choice. It has a higher gold content for a richer, more buttery color and a heavier, high-end feel.
- Platinum: The "powerhouse." Naturally white, hypoallergenic, and incredibly strong. It’s the ultimate secure "forever" home for your diamond.
Pro-Tip: If you love a cool, silvery look but want the lowest maintenance, Platinum is your girl. If you want that classic, warm sunshine vibe, 14k Yellow Gold is a total winner!
