Jewelry Appraisal CenterWhat You Need To Know About Additions To Wedding Rings:
When selecting wedding rings it is also important to consider how the rings can be matched with anniversary rings or even eternity rings in the future.
Many couples don't stop to take these additional ring options in mind when selecting his and her wedding rings and may select styles that these additional bands simply don't work with.
Typically anniversary and eternity rings are worn with the wedding rings and like engagement rings are traditionally only worn by women.
There are several popular styles of anniversary bands or eternity rings, with almost as many options or styles as you would expect with engagement and wedding rings.
Anniversary rings and eternity rings are meant to be a symbol of the ongoing love between the couple.
They are often rather understated when compared to elaborate engagement rings. They are, however, often more ornate than wedding bands, especially if the bands are very simple in their design.
One of the more popular options in settings for eternity or anniversary rings is the channel setting. This can be either fully done in smaller diamonds or diamonds can be alternated with other precious or semi-precious stones.

The channel holds the gems in place without obvious mountings, providing brilliant color through the ring and the diamonds.
Another highly popular and brilliant looking setting for these additions to the wedding rings includes the pave setting style. These smaller diamonds are literally set all over the face of the ring, either in whole or in part, to create a brilliant sparkle.
This style matches with either ornate styles of wedding rings and engagement rings or more classic, simple bands.
For a setting that is flush with the surface of the wedding rings or anniversary bands the bezel style is always popular.
Often the diamonds, which are slightly larger in size, are placed in a pattern around the band. Each diamond catches and reflects light for a beautiful display.
Different cuts of diamonds work very well with all these types of settings. Some of the more popular cuts include the princess cut and the emerald cut. Both of these cuts provide many facets for light reflection and sparkle.
Finding a perfect match for the eternity or anniversary ring and the wedding rings is not as important as finding rings that compliment each other. Often if couples take the time to talk to the jeweler when looking at wedding rings they can discover what options are available to add on to the wedding set later on.

Jewelry hallmarks
Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised.

British Hallmarks are the best in the world.
Who says so – the rest of the World – although to be fair, other countries have great hallmarks too, it is just that they are NOT so often seen…
So what do we really need to know…?
A book on World Hallmarks for Gold or Silver items is a must for any serious collector or dealer, but they can be a little intimidating and time consuming.
