This post is the continuance of the previous one. Stainless steel still can be used to create stunning rings. Design elements of stainless steel rings may include:
- A variety of widths that suitable for men or women.
- Carved accents such as tribal symbols, geometric patterns, or cultural accents.
- Colored inlays, such as black enamel or precious metal inserts – yellow gold is particularly popular because of the vibrant contrast with the stainless steel shell.
- Textured designs such as basket weave bands, hammered styles, ridges, or cutouts.
- Gemstones either focused as solitaires or used as accents to an integrated pattern; cubic zirconia is especially popular for stainless steel rings because it is less expensive than diamonds.
- Tension setting designs either with gemstones or without stones to be used in case of resizing.
- Engravings on the interior or exterior of the ring to add a personal touch.
How to find stainless steel rings?
Most couples will not be able to find stainless steel rings at traditional jewelry stores; jewelers prefer to stock more expensive precious metal designs that are more cost effective for their business. Unique businesses that specialize in body jewelry may offer some stainless steel rings, however, such as piercing studios and tattoo parlors. Online retailers also offer a wide range of beautiful stainless steel designs.
Stainless steel rings generally cost between $30 and $300; depending on the precise style, size of the ring, incorporated gemstones, and other details. It makes them a great value for couples on a tight budget or who simply want to find a beautiful ring at a more affordable price.
How to care stainless steel rings?
Despite the durability of stainless steel, it does need some dedicated care to ensure its beauty. The ring should be removed during dangerous activities that could cause it to snag on protrusions or to be nicked or scratched (the metal is strong but not impervious), and it should be stored separately from precious metal jewelry that can be scratched by the stronger steel. Over time the steel alloy may lose its luster, but a professional buffing can restore the rich gleam.
