Alliance ring comes from the word “alliance” and the diamonds around the ring symbolize lifelong love and the union between two people. This makes alliance rings a perfect choice when it comes to engagement rings or wedding rings.

Alliance rings, with their beautiful sparkling diamonds, are just as beautiful on their own as they are with other rings.

Guide to choosing the right wedding ring
Choosing an engagement ring is a big event for many people and it is not always easy to know which one to choose or can afford. If you have decided that you want an alliance ring as your engagement ring, you have come a long way. At Schalins, we want you to find the perfect ring for you and your personal style.
To find the perfect wedding ring for you, it is necessary to consider some important factors that will guide you in your choice:
- Budget : There are wedding rings in different price ranges. It can therefore be a good idea to review your budget in advance and decide how much you can afford to spend on an engagement ring. This way, it will be easier to sift through the large selection of rings and you won't risk being overwhelmed by the price tag.
- Stones : The next step is to decide on the diamonds in the ring, the number of stones and the setting. Diamonds are very hard and durable with a unique shine and sparkling elegance.
- Metal : What metal do you want the ring to be made of? Choose the metal that best suits your personal taste. Do you prefer the classic red gold or the crisp white gold? If you are allergic, platinum may be the choice for you.
- Ring width : The width of the ring is another important factor when it comes to ring design. Consider whether you want a wider ring that makes a stronger impression, or if you want a neat and narrow ring. A narrow ring may be recommended if you plan to combine the wedding ring with a larger ring, for example a ring with a large diamond.
- Comfort and size : How does the ring feel on your finger and how heavy is it? Comfort is an important aspect to consider since you will likely be wearing the ring daily. Also measure your ring size to ensure that the ring is made in the correct size.
Finally, choose the wedding band that you think will best suit you or your partner's personal style, based on your budget. The engagement ring will hopefully be worn with pride for the rest of your life, so it's important that you feel satisfied and that it matches your personality and your love story.
