Made only of materials built to loved in
That means the rings I feature for "Wedding Bands" and "Engagement Rings" stones have a hardness strength level of 8-10 on the Mohs scale (i.e. Diamonds, Sapphires, Spinels, Rubies) and the metal is solid gold or platinum, baby.
Why is this important? Some beautiful stones look super pretty for wearing SOME DAYS - Emerald, and Opal for example! But they are not as strong and can visibly scratch if worn every single day. And if the gold is solid, it will not tarnish so that's ideal for everyday wear. Obvi do you what you like, wear what you want! I just want to only feature rings here that I know are built to be lived in. xo Leanne
