Choosing a wedding ring in Israel requires a balance between aesthetics and durability. While 18K gold Offering the richest and most luxurious shade (as found in Padani 's collections), 14K gold Considered more scratch-resistant for everyday use. The choice of ring width and design type (plain vs. patterned) should take into account the structure of the finger and long-term comfort, with luxury brands promising a concave inner finish ( Comfort Fit). ) for maximum comfort.

After the wedding, when the lights go out and the dress goes into the closet, the only thing you have left on you all day, all day, is your wedding ring . I've seen couples who have invested a fortune in a beautifully designed and intricate ring, only to discover after two months that it "bothers" between their fingers or that it scratches with every simple action. Choosing a wedding ring is not just a matter of taste, it's a matter of human engineering.

The Big Dilemma: 14K Gold or 18K ?

This is the question every bride and groom asks in the salesroom. Here's the professional truth:

• 18K gold : Contains 75% pure gold. It has a deeper, more luxurious yellow hue, and is the exclusive choice of luxury brands like Padani . Why? Because it does not tarnish, it retains its value, and its feel on the skin is "heavier" and of higher quality.
• 14K gold : Contains less gold and more other metals. It is harder and therefore slightly more resistant to scratches.

My recommendation: If you are looking for a real luxury piece of jewelry that will be passed down to your children, go for 18 K. Its hue simply cannot be compared to 14K . Who sometimes looks pale next to him.

Smooth and classic design in front of a designed ring

Plain Band ) is the ultimate temporary choice. Its great advantage is that it can be easily polished and it never goes out of style. On the other hand, rings designed with engravings, "sparkle" textures or diamond combinations ( Eternity Band ) provide personal expression.

Insider tip: If you choose a wedding ring with diamonds all around the ring, keep in mind that it is very difficult to increase or decrease it in the future. With rings from a brand like Padani, accuracy in size is critical because the quality of the finish does not allow for amateur jewelers to "play around."

How do you choose the right width?

Proportions are everything.

1. Short/delicate fingers: A thin ring (2-3 mm) will elongate the finger and look elegant.
2. Large/masculine hands: A ring that is too thin will look like a "thread" and get lost. Here, you should go for 5-6 mm.
3. Comfort is Queen: Make sure the inside of the ring is a " Comfort Fit" " That is, it is slightly rounded inward and not flat. This is what prevents the ring from "cutting" the flesh when you close your hand.

How do you measure accurately (without errors)?

The biggest mistake is to take a measurement on a day of extreme heat or right after a workout, when your hands are swollen. Your true measurement is when your body is at normal temperature. If you are ordering a luxury ring, don't rely on cheap plastic gauges. Go to a reputable brand store and use professional metal gauges. It's the difference between a ring that slips on you in the ocean and a ring that fits perfectly.

Bottom line: A wedding ring is not just a symbol, it is part of your body. Don't compromise on the quality of the gold and the level of internal finish.
