Author: David Fox

The UK jewellery market is huge. With a wealth of different companies operating in a very competitive marketplace, jewellery products can be found almost anywhere. They are highly sought after products and customers come from far and wide to purchase them. Of course, there are many different jewellery items customers can buy, but what is important is that the customer finds something they like and they also experience a pleasant shop that will enable them to come back.

The jewellery market is made up of many different items. Some of the popular ones include necklaces, bracelets, pendants and earrings. However, there is one item that is purchased more than anything else – rings. Rings are purchased in the UK on an extremely large scale and take up the majority of the jewellery market. There are many different types of rings in the UK that people can buy and here is a list of some of the features people would look for when purchasing them.

Second, different rings have different stone types. Again the most common ones are cubic zirconia and diamond rings, whilst sapphire, pearl, ruby, topaz, tanzanite, opal, garnet, swarovski crystal, aquamarine, crystal, onyx, amethyst, citrine, emerald, peridot and quartz can also be purchased. Obviously, some are better than others but again it always comes down to what each individual customer wants and what they like best.

Third, there are further different types of rings in the UK. Different stone shapes can be found at a variety of retailers. Some of the most common ones include brilliant, round and heart, whilst oval, emerald, marquise, princess, baguette and square can also be found. Again, different styles appeal to different consumers. Some consumers like big square rings to go with their own style whilst other, perhaps more sophisticated ladies will only ever wear princess cut rings.

There are many other factors too which affect the look and style of rings. Colour is one of these as one colour can make a ring look completely different from the next. Carat weight can also make a big impact on the style, particularly in terms of its sparkle and gleam.

Rings can also be bought for different occasions, and some of the most special ones are made specifically as engagement rings and wedding rings. These can be however, at the top end of the market and are only ever purchased for the occasion.

So as you have read, there are many different types of rings in the UK and all of them are suitable for someone somewhere. It is always the individual’s decision which one to buy but a decision will be made with all the necessary information to hand and based on which one they like best.
