Top Questions and Answers About Rings
What metals are best for rings?
We offer stunning rings for men and women in a variety of high-quality metals. Rings made from precious metals, often considered “real” rings, will stand the test of time. Our Blue Nile rings are available in metals such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, silver, platinum and tungsten.
Each precious metal offers its own benefits and considerations for men’s and women’s rings. Gold rings, for example, bring classic looks and durability. Silver rings offer budget-friendly style. Platinum rings often represent the height of luxury, and rings in alternative metals like tungsten are unique options.
Because all of our women’s and men’s rings are high-quality jewelry fit for frequent wear, we suggest focusing on choosing the ring metal that best matches the wearer’s tastes and your budget.
Which rings are best for daily wear?
Rings made of durable precious metals are typically the best for everyday wear. When choosing rings to wear, focus on stones and designs that match your days. If you work with your hands, you may want to choose a solid band or bezel-set ring. For lighter daily wear, delicate ring styles can also be a great option.
Softer gemstone rings, such as bands with opals, are not recommended for daily wear rings.
Can rings be resized?
When purchasing a ring, consider the size of the finger the ring will be worn upon. Ring sizes can vary from finger to finger. If you’re not sure which size to buy, use our ring size chart to find the right fit.
Many rings can be resized to accommodate size changes. For rings that cannot be resized, sizing beads can help make a loose ring fit more tightly.
How do you style gemstone and diamond rings?
Rings with precious stones such as diamonds are popular for engagement, anniversary, wedding, or right hand rings. Rings for all occasions can include gemstones such as tanzanite, ruby, sapphires and peridot.
You can style rings with precious stones by matching colors, such as pairing blue topaz with aquamarine. Another option is to match the base metals when you’re stacking rings, such as wearing only white gold rings if you’re looking for a cohesive style. But as will all jewelry, your ring styling is a personal choice. As long as you’re choosing the right band fit, there’s no wrong way to wear men’s and women’s rings.
What is the best way to care for rings?
Rings should not be worn when cleaning, sleeping, swimming, showering or engaging in other activities that may potentially damage the jewelry. You can learn more about how to protect ring jewelry by reading our list of common situations when you should remove your ring. Always store your rings in their original ring boxes or specialized organizers.
How do I clean rings at home?
How you clean your rings will depend on the type of metals and gemstones in your special piece.
To clean a platinum ring, simply soak the ring in a mild solution of warm soapy water, and then gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush. For gold, you will want to use a detergent-free soap.
You can always bring your Blue Nile rings to our local jewelry stores for expert cleaning to keep your jewelry looking its best.
How do I wear rings on multiple fingers?
There are many different ways to wear a selection of rings on multiple fingers.
We suggest choosing a statement ring, like a cocktail ring or a signet ring, and keeping the rest simple. Try pairing similar styles that complement one another. You can wear your rings all in a row or alternate fingers and ring heights.
What are some tips for buying rings?
While the 4Cs of diamonds outline key factors to keep in mind when shopping for these popular gems, there are different guidelines for buying rings. It's important to know the right ring size, metal preference and any design tastes. For some people, it’s also important to focus on rings that are hypoallergenic jewelry pieces.
When you’re buying a ring, you should only browse selections from jewelers you trust. Focus on solid metals and handcrafted designs. Natural gemstones, natural diamonds and even lab grown diamonds are excellent choices for rings.
It’s best to choose rings made from durable metals, such as real gold instead of gold plated rings. Rings with real gemstones are the best choice for frequent wear. We recommend visiting our guide to rings to learn more about this popular jewelry.
What kinds of rings are popular?
Plain metal and rings with gemstones are some of the most popular designs.
For women’s rings, designs in gold are a leading choice. Many women also choose silver rings or bands that combine multiple metals. We offer a wide selection of rings for sale to meet every style, from simple dainty rings to more ornate special occasion rings.
Men's jewelry collections also feature rings such as signet styles or simple bands. The most popular metals for men’s rings are gold, platinum, silver and tungsten.
Does this jewelry make a good gift?
Yes, rings are excellent gifts for any occasion. Celebrate your relationship with an engagement ring, wedding band or anniversary ring. For graduations, birthdays or other celebrations, consider giving the gift of trendy rose gold rings or birthstone rings.
