The Perfect Engagement Ring for an Active and Adventurous Lifestyle

There's so much to think about when you decide to get married - the dress, bridesmaids, reception, honeymoon - the list goes on and on. But one very important thing to consider is the engagement ring - and it's not always as straight forward as you might think.

Choosing a jewellery design can be relatively easy and excellent fun, especially if there's no surprise proposal involved, that people think most about how beautiful the ring is, as everyone wants a ring that to them is exquisite. But often people forget to consider whether the ring will be suitable for their lifestyle, and this too is very important.as you can take your time to view and consider the variety of exciting designs available.

to get the perfect ring you have to do a little more thinking. Overall, it's a good plan is remove rings, no matter what design or metal, before undertaking physical activity that is hard on the hands. Why take the risk of damaging your ring, when you can simply take it off and put it somewhere safe for a short time?
Of course, one solution is to remove your ring when taking part in physical activities, as this allows you to choose any type of design, safe in the knowledge it will be stored safely in a box or pouch while you are scaling the north face or beating the opposition. Another thought is to choose a design that has been crafted specifically to deal with a more active lifestyle. Such rings are by no means damage-proof, but they will be resilient to middle range activities.

Side stones are usually punch or channel set, meaning they are recessed into the metal and are held quite firmly. As they don't protrude from the ring, they are far less likely to be lost through knocking, allowing you to wear your ring for netball, football and kayaking - although you still would want to remove it for very harsh situations such as rock-climbing. A popular style of engagement ring and eternity ring is one where the punch or channel set stones are used around the whole circumference of the ring.
