Platinum group metals are much more expensive than silver. This metal can be used to create any bizarre shapes, so there are no limits to the imagination of jewelers and designers. When you need a silver ring, you should use the catalog of the Oniks online store. It contains a detailed description of jewelry, its features, and photos of products.
Types of rings
When you are going to choose and buy a ring, you should study in detail the types of these jewelry:
- Rings and seals. They can be for men and women, usually have impressive shapes that attract attention;
- Monogram. Openwork weaves created due to the plasticity of silver. An excellent choice for young girls and mature ladies;
- Wedding rings. Most often it is a ring with a smooth surface as a symbol of infinity, a great alternative to classic gold jewelry;
- Engagement rings. Neat and beautiful rings, complemented by a diamond or cubic zirconia insert;
- Phalangeal. An excellent choice for women with long fingers. The rings are worn on the phalanx, completely covering it;
- Cocktail rings. A good addition for an evening look. The main difference between the jewelry is inlay with small or medium stones, as well as the presence of curls.
Such a variety of types of jewelry allows you to experiment with looks and find the best solution.
Plating of rings
Over time, silver oxidizes and its shade changes, so manufacturers use various techniques to protect and increase the strength of the material. One of the methods is rhodium plating. The material is similar to platinum, and this coating adds strength, reliability, durability, and protection to the choice, in particular, from scratches. Such rings will look like they are made of white gold.
Blackening is another method that involves the introduction of black with a special composition into the outer surface of the ring – to a depth of 0.3 mm. The effect of antiquing is created, and the silver ring becomes textured and three-dimensional.
Gilding is the third option, which consists in covering the jewelry with a thin layer of 585 gold. In this case, the jewelry will look indistinguishable from a gold piece, which is also an additional way to save money.
