Question 1

What is the difference between engagement rings and wedding rings?

Accepted Answer

Engagement ring is a traditionally a diamond ring given to a woman by a man at the time of a marriage proposal. Wedding rings are exchanged between partners during wedding ceremony.

Question 2

Does I-PRIMO provide engagement rings and wedding rings as a set?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do. We offer a wide range of different styles and designs of engagement and wedding rings that are also perfect as a bridal ring set. Please contact our consultants for more details and recommendations.

Question 3

Why engagement rings are made with diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Diamond is a type of natural mineral which represents “pure” and “forever”. The everlasting sparkle of a diamond makes it the first choice for engagement rings, symbolizing “forever love”.

Question 4

Why platinum is popular for bridal jewelries?

Accepted Answer

Platinum is the rarest among metals and its durability makes it a perfect symbol for truth, endurance and eternity. These three characteristics and values of platinum are extremely suitable for making bridal jewellery.

① Purity: Platinum’s naturally white sheen enables a diamond to shine on its brightest. Platinum does not tarnish, corrode, rust or change in colour. Jewellery pieces must consist of at least 85% platinum in order to be recognized as platinum jewellery. I-PRIMO uses 95% platinum in all rings, together with the excellent craftsmanship, making rings that are comfortable to wear.

② Rareness: Platinum is an extremely rare and precious metal. It can only be found in a few countries in South Africa, where platinum is present as only 3g in 1 ton of raw ore.

③ Durability: Platinum is more durable than other metals and therefore is suitable to use for precious jewellery which can be worn for a lifetime. Platinum does not tarnish, corrode, rust and change colour and is suitable for daily wear.

Question 5

Why do we wear wedding rings on the ring finger on the left hand?

Accepted Answer

Originated from ancient Egyptian traditions, people believed that a vein ran directly from the ring finger of the left hand to the heart. They chose to wear rings on this finger to express love because of this hand-to-heart connection.

Question 6

When should I purchase my engagement ring? How long does it take to make?
