FAQs
When did men start wearing wedding rings?
The round, infinite circle of a ring is one of the oldest symbols in the world, and represents an eternal bond shared between two people. The tradition of wearing rings as a token of lasting companionship dates back to ancient Egypt, where men and women were thought to wear braided rings made out of hemp and reeds. It was believed there existed a vein in the fourth finger that connected straight to the heart, the ‘Vena Amoris’, and could explain why we wear rings on the fourth finger today.
How do I measure my ring size?
Getting the right ring size is crucial: an incorrect size will be at best bothersome, at worst, totally uncomfortable. For this reason, it’s best to have your ring size professionally measured at one of our showrooms. If that isn’t possible, there are a range of at-home sizing options available. To learn more, simply consult our sizing guide.
How should I care for my ring?
We recommend cleaning classic wedding rings once a month, and diamond-set rings once every two weeks. If you carry out a lot of household tasks, do outdoor activities, or handle a lot of products day-to-day, you’ll need to clean your ring more often to prevent residue build-up.
How to clean your wedding ring:
- Fyll en liten skål med varmt vatten och lite tvål. Ett skonsamt diskmedel eller lite såpa fungerar bäst.
- Lägg din ring i skålen och låt den ligga i 15 minuter. Detta löser upp ingrodd smuts.
- Se till att täcka för avloppet i handfatet. Skölj sedan av ringen med varmt vatten.
- Använd en mjuk, ren tandborste för att skrubba bort eventuell smuts som kan sitta kvar. Vi rekommenderar att du endast använder denna tandborste för att rengöra smycken.
- Använd en ren handduk för att torka din ring. Låt den lufttorka i upp till en halvtimme innan du använder den igen.
- Undvik att använda hushållspapper eller starka kemikalier, som blekmedel och kommersiella rengöringsmedel för smycken. Dessa kan skada din ring.Om du köper en förlovningsring från 77 Diamonds kan du besöka oss för en gratis ultraljudsrengöring. Vi rekommenderar att du gör detta en eller två gånger per år.

What is the best material for men’s wedding rings?
This largely depends on what is most important to you when choosing a ring. If you often do manual work, and plan to wear your ring every day, it would be best to choose a metal that is resistant to wear and less prone to losing its colour. We would therefore recommend either a yellow gold, platinum or palladium ring. If you like the feel of a heavy ring, choosing platinum can be a worthwhile option as it is a very dense metal.
