Most engagement rings are made from precious metals like platinum and gold and are likely to scratch over time. This is because these metals are soft and hence are likely to have scratches on them. However, the more careful and gentle you are, the milder the scratches will be.
Often your engagement ring makes contact with some household and work items which are made from hard metals and are likely to cause scratches. Although these are micro-scratches and are not easily noticed, however, with the passage of time, the surface of the gold or platinum takes on a dull effect.
It is the bottom of the ring on the inside of the hand that is most likely to have scratches and damage as it is always having the most contacts with other items like desks and door knobs from everyday use.
Of course not wearing your engagement ring to avoid micro scratches is simply out of question. However, there is no need to worry about the

As time goes by, it is possible that a married man or woman would find the need to modify the size of the ring on his or her ring finger. Usually, wedding ring resizing involved increasing the diameter, but in some cases, the ring size needs to be decreased to fit properly. Only an experienced jeweler must handle the process of resizing. If the ring is going to be enlarged considerably, it involves cutting the ring and spreading the material as much as possible. The gap that remains is usually filled using the same type of metal. If the ring size needs to be reduced, the ring is cut and portion of the band is removed before the ends are put back together again. Under the hands of a skilled jeweler, a resizing job that requires a small change in size may not involve cutting at all.
Level of difficulty in resizing
When choosing wedding rings, it is wise to consider the possibility of resizing in the future.

The custom of wearing a ring on the fourth finger as a symbol of eternal love and devotion is not a Western invention. Historians believe that the wedding rings can be traced back to Ancient Egypt. Evidently, the widespread tradition of exchanging rings between a man and a woman who are getting married came before the establishment of some of the world's religions. The Ancient Egyptians used rings that were made from plant material-sometimes from reeds found by the river, in other instances from hemp. In contrast, modern wedding rings are made from precious metals and sometimes adorned with precious stones.
The most popular forms of wedding rings are plain bands. Men are partial to this style. Women, on the other hand tend to prefer designs that are more ornate. The more affluent couples who can afford to add settings with precious stones on their wedding bands may choose diamonds as adornment. From this, the question regarding the
