Various materials can be used in the manufacture of wedding rings. From gold to platinum and diamonds to innovative materials such as ceramic-based composites, there are countless possibilities when designing rings. 

Alloys

The mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal is called an alloy. The alloys are produced by melting the individual components together. In addition to fine gold, the gold alloys used to make jewelry also contain silver, copper and, in the case of white gold, palladium. The different additions of these additional metals determine the desired gold color. 

At Fischer Trauringe , you can be sure that your wedding rings are nickel-free. In addition, at Fischer we only use recycled gold, which does not have to be mined again and is therefore more sustainable. Would you like to find out more about sustainability at Fischer? Then take a look at our blog post

We manufacture rings for you in the following gold alloys
585/- white, yellow, red, gray, apricot gold
750/- white, yellow, red, gray, apricot gold

But other alloys/materials are also available
600/- Platinum
950/- Platinum
950/- Palladium
Carbon
Ceramic-based composite material

Wondering what the number in front of the slash means?
This is the purity content of an alloy. It indicates the proportion of gold in the total mass of a metal alloy.
 

There is also a so-called fineness scale for this purpose

24 carat = 24 carat fine gold = 1000/- gold
18 carat = 18 carat fine gold + 6 carat additive = 750/- gold
14 carat = 14 carat fine gold + 10 carat additive = 585/- gold
9 carat = 9 carat fine gold + 15 carat additive = 375/- gold

Diamonds

Do you want your wedding rings to sparkle? Then diamonds are a must. There are also some interesting facts about diamonds that you may not yet know. We take you into the sparkling world of diamonds. 

A diamond takes millions of years to form. It is often called the "king of all gemstones". It owes this name to the values that are directly associated with it: Rarity, history and love. 

The value of diamonds is determined using the so-called 5 Cs. 

Diamonds
These 5 Cs determine the value of a diamond
Carat
Carat is the weight, not the size of a diamond. This measure of weight is based on a natural unit of measurement, the seed of the carob tree. The largest diamond ever found weighed more than 3,000 carats in the rough. Half or one-carat diamonds are often found in application rings.
Cut
The cut is decisive for the sparkle of a diamond. Through the correct proportions and the arrangement of its facets, the light is reflected from one facet to another and then shines back through the top of the stone. The quality of a diamond can therefore also be recognized by the factors of cut, finish (polish) and proportion.
Color
Color: For valuation (grading) purposes, how close the diamond comes to being colorless is measured. Simply put, the clearer a diamond, the more valuable it is.
Clarity (purity)
The purity of diamonds is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. As diamonds are natural products, small inclusions are natural but reduce the value of the diamond. Under a 10x magnifying glass, a distinction is made between the following purity levels: Loupe clarity (IF), very very small (VVSI), very small (VSI), small (SI), as well as clear and larger inclusions.
Confidence
The certified origin of diamonds is also becoming increasingly important. At Fischer Trauringe , only diamonds of trustworthy and flawless origin are processed.

Ceramic-based composite material

The ceramic-based composite material is used in the "Elise" collection at Fischer Trauringe . Originally used in dental medicine, the material has been further developed for use in the jewelry sector. A variety of unusual designs are possible thanks to different colorations.

The ceramic-based composite material has the following properties:

  • Very smooth, glossy surface
  • Absolutely high-quality material combination
  • In contrast to cold enamel, impact and wear resistant 
  • Color-fast, i.e. virtually no darkening or fading of the colors

Carbon

You may already be familiar with carbon from other areas, such as medical technology, aerospace or the automotive industry. Fischer Trauringe has dedicated itself to this special material and developed FischerCarbon® developed. Carbon can be perfectly combined with various precious metals to create unique designs.

 

Carbon has the following properties: 

  • Special stability of the material
  • Extremely resistant to chemicals and temperature effects
  • Shows virtually no signs of wear and tear
  • Pleasant feel
  • Matt, expressive surface
  • Low weight, i.e. even wider ring models are not particularly heavy and therefore comfortable to wear
