Because it is something you give to someone special , you want to be particular when choosing a ring.
In fact, some rings not only have a design on the front, which is easy to see, but also have a "light hole" on the back .
These light holes are placed in rings for good reasons, such as " to let in more light, " but they change not only the appearance but also the comfort of wearing the ring .
This time, I would like to introduce you to the light holes in the stone settings of rings , which is useful to know when choosing a proposal ring .
[What is a light hole (back hole)?]
Do you know about the " light hole" on the back of the stone setting that holds the stone?
If you look closely at different types of jewelry, you will notice that some have holes on the back where the stones are set, while others do not.
The items with this light hole are:
"To let in more light"
"To make the stones sit better."
This is done mainly for reasons such as "reducing the weight of the bullion."
Looking at this reason alone, it may seem like a ring with a light hole would be better, but in fact, the light hole gets blocked when the ring is worn on the finger, so this light hole is not necessarily necessary .
The presence of light holes can sometimes impair comfort and the feel of the lenses running smoothly through your fingers.
The inside of a ring with no treatment is smooth and comfortable to wear, whereas the inside of a ring with a light hole is rough and not very pleasant to the touch.
In addition, sebum stains and fine dirt from everyday life tend to accumulate in the holes, which can dull the shine of the gemstone.
[Why are there optical holes?]
So why do some have optical holes ?
There are several reasons for this:
The first reason is to prevent abrasive particles from getting into the gap between the stone and the setting during the polishing process and becoming unable to be removed .
Another reason is that they are made to support the tip of the stone (culet) to improve the position of the stone , and because they are made to match the type and design of the gemstone .
Also, for rings with rows of stones, such as eternity rings, the strength of the ring will depend on whether or not holes for light are drilled.
Because the stones are arranged close to each other and holes are drilled, the base metal becomes mesh-like, which naturally makes it slightly weaker in strength.
Therefore, depending on the thickness of the ring arm, design, size of the stone, and type of gemstone, you will need to consider whether or not to include a light hole.
Even if the design is similar, some have light holes and some do not, depending on the type of gemstone.
The reason for this is related to the refractive index of each stone.
Diamonds have a high refractive index, and the internal reflection of light makes them shine brightly.
In comparison, colored gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds do not have a very high refractive index, so most are designed with holes drilled to allow more light in .
As you can see, there is a good reason for the light holes on the inside of the rings, and they are added after it has been determined whether they are necessary during the manufacturing process for each ring.
It may be a little bit of specialized knowledge, but just knowing a little bit may make it easier for you to choose a ring to give to your loved one .
And, by sharing this information with everyone, I hope that it will encourage people to feel closer to their loved ones and to wear jewelry more casually.
[Lab-grown diamonds + light holes shine even more?]
Lab-grown diamonds are created in laboratories without harming the earth.
Although their composition is exactly the same as that of natural diamonds, the price of lab-grown diamonds is about 1/2 to 1/3 of that of natural diamonds .
And it's environmentally friendly .
Due to these characteristics, it has become popular as an engagement ring or wedding ring in recent years .
