I have read that some cultures/religions continue to wear wedding rings on the right hand, but I can find little documentation of the historical traditions attached to wedding rings in the US or the Americas.

Can you explain how engagement rings & wedding bands work?

Filed under: Weddings — wood_rings @ 6:19 pm

Molly6969 asked:


So I am confused on how the whole engagement ring system works. I heard that if you get a solitaire you wear that as your engagement ring, and then for the wedding you buy a wedding band that the solitaire snaps into to make it look like one bigger ring? I like the look of the three stone rings, so if I got a three stone engagement ring, then would I still have to buy a wedding band for the wedding?

Mixing Gold and Silver Jewellery ?

Filed under: Fashion & Accessories — wood_rings @ 8:36 am

Carla asked:


Can we mix let’s say a gold necklace and wear silver rings ?
Or gold jewellery and wooden bracelets or leather bracelets (like those tribal or surfer bracelets) ?
Or will you just look all over the place?
I’m 30 and all my life Ive been wearing silver jewellery, I want to look more grown up now so starting to wear gold but it’s hard to find nice gold rings that isnt at least 50-60$.

Will I look trashy wearing my silver rings with diamonds and gold necklaces?

I know all about white gold but I just think it’s silly to pay more for something that looks like silver.

Do you need wedding rings, even if you’re getting married by court?

Filed under: Weddings — wood_rings @ 2:31 am

blocupables asked:


Me and my boyfriend are planning to get married by court [and later remarry by church when we have money] and although it seems extremely obvious, we were wondering if we needed to purchase wedding rings, or will it look dumb?

Oh and does anyone know the procedure to court weddings? I know we have to get a marriage license but after that I’m not sure.

Diamond Jewelry Maintenance by Gemisimo

Filed under: Jewelry — wood_rings @ 12:05 pm

Gemisimo Ltd. asked:


Detergent wash

Using a mild detergent and warm water prepare a soapy solution. Leave your ring in this solution for a few minutes. Then using a soft brush clean the diamond, areas like the prongs and other parts of the metal band where there are chances of dust accumulation. Rinse the diamond jewelry in warm water. Finally pat it dry with a lint free cloth. A buffing cloth can also be used to give your diamond jewelry a shine. A wooden toothpick may also be used to gently push away dirt from hard to reach areas.

Ammonia wash



A 1:1 ratio of household ammonia and water can also be used to clean diamonds. Mix ammonia and water in equal parts and soak your diamond jewelry in it for approximately twenty minutes. Use a soft brush to remove dirt and rinse in the solution again. Air dry the diamond by leaving it on absorbent tissue paper. However, fracture filled diamonds must not be cleaned using this method. Also if the piece of jewelry has other precious gemstones in it, consult an expert before using ammonia wash.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaners available at jewelry stores are also useful for cleaning diamonds. Here, in the first step, the cleaner uses high frequency waves which vibrate to create many microscopic cleaning bubbles. These bubbles loosen out the dirt in the cracks and crevices of the ring, including prongs. In the second step a high pressure steamer blasts away the particles. However if your diamond jewelry also includes other precious stones like emeralds and rubies, it would be best to first take the advice of a gemologist before ultrasonic cleaning. Also the GIA does not recommend the usage of ultrasonic or steam cleaners for cleaning diamonds.

Off the counter cleaners

Many cleaners are also available at stores. Your diamond dealer may also have given you a cleaner like the Mr. Clean - all purpose cleaner. Follow the instructions carefully while using such products on your diamond. Avoid using cleaners that contain acid as this may affect the surface of the gemstone. Also if you have purchased the solution from a store that does not deal in diamonds, consult your gemologist before using it. Avoid abrasive cleaners while cleaning your diamond. Toothpaste should also not be used for cleaning as it usually has baking soda or other ingredients that can cause scratches.

Cleaning diamonds on a regular basis ensures that they sparkle for a long time to come. You can clean them once a month or even once a week depending upon your usage. It is recommended that as soon as you note a film buildup, caused due to soap or oil, clean your ring at home. Professional cleaning can be opted for once a year, whereby the ring can be repolished and the jeweler will also check and tighten the prongs of the ring.



Caring


A little care goes a long way in keeping your diamond sparkling and shimmering as ever.



Remove your ring before going into the pool as the chlorine may discolor it over a long period of time.

Avoid using harsh chemicals when you are wearing the ring.

Take your diamond to the jeweler once every year so that it can be checked for loose prongs or other settings that need to be restored.

If you feel that the settings have become loose, wrap the jewelry carefully in tissue paper and take it to the jeweler immediately. Let the jewelry be repaired while you watch.

Do not wear your diamond ring with other rings on the same finger as it may chip while in contact with other rings.

Touch it at its edges and not on the stone as it may smudge.



 

Storing

Here are a few tips on how to store your jewelry carefully.



Store your diamond in a special case so it does not scratch when it rubs against other jewelry.

Use separate compartments for separate pieces of jewelry.

A cloth bag or a jewelry case meant for the purpose may be a good option. Finally you can also wrap them in separate tissue papers.

The Lord of the Wedding Rings (part 3)

Filed under: Entertainment — wood_rings @ 5:15 am

milknud asked:


When I got married, we made this Lord of the Rings parody to play at our rehearsal dinner. We had a lot of fun putting people from the wedding into the movie. Some of it may not make sense because we used inside jokes that our family and friends would understand. So, enjoy the parts you like and ignore the parts that don’t make sense, and keep in mind that we shot this over the course of three Saturdays with only a few weeks to edit. Also, no person in this movie has ever claimed to be a actor.

This is part three. If you haven’t seen parts one and two yet, go back and do so before you watch this part. Even better, choose the Lord of the Wedding Rings playlist on my milknud page to view the whole movie straight through.

Facts about part 3:

-All of the men playing groomsmen were my actual groomsmen.

-All but two groomsmen appeared in the movie.

-Three of Katie’s bridesmaids were not able to be in the movie.

I am having trouble trying to make a bow and arrows.

Filed under: Other - Outdoor Recreation — wood_rings @ 9:23 pm

roso159 asked:


I would really love to make a bow with arrows, because I love Lord of the Rings and would like to have a bow to shoot at targets or trees. However, every piece of wood I obtain always breaks when I bend it. I have a simple little wooden toy bow that bends really well, but it’s too small for me. It seems like it’s impossible to find a piece of wood as bendy, except for green wood, which you’re not supposed to use. What should I do? If it helps, I am thirteen and am four feet nine inches tall. In your answers, I don’t want you just to send me a couple of the first links that pop up when you type “how to make a bow and arrow” into Google. I would like personal assistance.
Also, what’s the best way to get the arrow fletchlings to stay on the arrow?
