This may be true in principle, but does not apply to wedding rings. First of all, wedding rings are among the most consultation-intensive products. The rings will be worn on your finger 24 hours a day. So they not only have to endure a lot, fit perfectly and look good, but you also have to be happy with them even years later as well as be compatible and most importantly fit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 39\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Online purchasing is deceptive: Diamonds often look much bigger when zoomed in on and sharp-edged profiles look appealing, but in reality they are rather uncomfortable and leave cuts or rubbing marks on fingers and the inside of the hand. Furthermore, the free return is unfortunately not guaranteed. Since wedding rings are custom-made, they are excluded from the right of exchange. This is why it\u2019s always better to play it safe and have the ring size professionally measured by a jeweller. Many unpleasant surprises can also be prevented by a visit to the jeweller: You can touch the profiles and get a feel for them. The colour alloys can be judged in real life without being dependent on a colour setting on the screen. These are just a few of the reasons why it\u2019s better to purchase your rings from a jeweller. And last but not least: the online shop will not offer you a glass of sparkling wine, will not treat you as a future bridal couple and will not offer you the unique moment to leave the shop hand in hand and tipsy with happiness!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-left\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#b2a8a3;\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:26;line-height:1.5;\">Precious metals<\/h2><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-right\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#b2a8a3;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:12%;--awb-padding-left:12%;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:16;--minFontSize:16;line-height:2.5;\">Gold\/ Fine gold<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Origin<br \/>\n<\/b>Discovered around 5000 BC, gold was a coveted commodity in ancient times already. Findings from Germanic graves and excavations in the Nile valley prove that even 4,000 years ago the processing of gold was in high bloom. By the Middle Ages, the gold deposits of European countries were already exhausted. After America was discovered in 1492, it was the gold discoveries in Mexico, Peru and Brazil that provided the Spaniards with immeasurable wealth. In 1848 the gold deposits were discovered in California, in 1854 in Australia, in 1880 in South Africa and in 1896 in Klondyke on one of the tributaries of the Yukon in North America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Properties<br \/>\n<\/b>Chemically pure gold is called fine gold. It is free of all other metals such as silver and copper and can be rolled out into gold leaf (approx. 1 micrometer). Fine gold is light yellow in colour, which does not change when exposed to air as fine gold does not combine with the oxygen in the air. Fine gold is the most ductile metal. Due to its softness and flexibility, it is mixed (alloyed) with other metals before processing. By adding silver, the colour turns lighter, by adding copper, it becomes darker. Gold is available in the colours yellow gold, red gold, white gold, green gold, rose and grey gold.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:12%;--awb-padding-left:12%;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-8 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:16;--minFontSize:16;line-height:2.5;\">Silver<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Origin<br \/>\n<\/b>Additionally, silver belongs to the metals category and was already known to humans in prehistoric times. It was discovered around 4,000 BC. The Egyptians brought it from Nubia, the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans from Spain. Germany began silver mining near Goslar in the Harz Mountains and near Freiberg in Saxony in the 10th century. Since 1521, Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Argentina have been supplying huge quantities of silver and the mountainous countries of the United States have been doing so since 1860.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Properties<br \/>\n<\/b>Silver is the metal with the whitest colour. As its softness makes it rather unsuitable for processing, it is alloyed with copper. Silver is considered to be the best thermal and electrical conductor and is therefore often used in electrical engineering, dentistry and even in photography. Due to its bactericidal effect, silver is also used in medicine.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:12%;--awb-padding-left:12%;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-9 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:16;--minFontSize:16;line-height:2.5;\">Platinum<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Origin<br \/>\n<\/b>Platinum was not yet known in the Middle Ages. It was not until approx. 1735 that the Spanish discovered it in the form of small grains in the gold soaps of the River Pinto in Colombia. Since the grey metal, which resisted fire due to its high melting point, was useless, they called it platina=little silver, a contemptible diminutive of the Spanish plata=silver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Properties<br \/>\n<\/b>Platinum is an extremely heavy metal, it is much harder to melt than gold and silver as its melting point is 1,774\u00b0C. Platinum is harder than gold and silver and is extremely tough but at the same time is supple. Platinum takes on a high gloss effect when polished.

The silvery-white metal palladium is a constant companion of platinum, but is also extracted as a by-product from gold, silver and nickel ores.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Properties<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In the goldsmith\u2019s workshop, it serves as a substitute metal for platinum, which is more expensive. The advantages are obvious. It is slightly brighter than platinum, is lighter, cheaper in price and also takes on a high gloss effect when polished. A small amount of palladium is usually added to the base plate to make the platinum colour lighter. Even good white gold is made up of gold and palladium. Platinum is also considered to be a catalyst for chemical purposes and is used in laboratory equipment and in the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:12%;--awb-padding-left:12%;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-11 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:16;--minFontSize:16;line-height:2.5;\">Alloy<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Alloys are formed by melting two or more metals together. The goldsmith works almost exclusively with alloys. None of the three precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) are processed in its pure state. Gold and silver are too soft when in their pure state, platinum is not white enough and must be made more suitable for processing by being alloyed with other metals.<br \/>\nFor example, the goldsmith alloys gold to increase its hardness, to obtain a larger quantity of metal by adding cheaper metals such as silver and copper, and to be able to produce gold products at affordable prices. Another reason is to achieve the different gold colours.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:12%;--awb-padding-left:12%;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-12 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:16;--minFontSize:16;line-height:2.5;\">Fineness Scale<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">24 carat = 24 carat fine gold = 1,000\/- gold<br \/>\n18 carat = 18 carat fine gold + 6 carat addition = 750\/- gold<br \/>\n14 carat = 14 carat fine gold + 10 carat addition = 585\/- gold<br \/>\n8 carat = 8 carat fine gold + 16 carat addition = 333\/- gold<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-13 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-13 fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-left\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#b2a8a3;\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:26;line-height:1.5;\">Types of stone<\/h2><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-right\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#b2a8a3;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-14 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:12%;--awb-padding-left:12%;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-14 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:16;--minFontSize:16;line-height:2.5;\">Diamonds<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">A diamond is defined as a brilliant-cut diamond (at least 32 facets in the upper part plus the plate and at least 24 facets in the lower part).
