They Love them and Proudly Display them (<strong>who wants to put it in a Locker?<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>\nPlus, with many Nurses I know, they want to <strong>out do<\/strong> each other with the Size of their Rock. <\/p>\n<p><h2>The Bigger the Better!<\/h2>\n<p>\nNow this may not Apply to all Nurses, but from what I&#8217;ve seen, they do <strong>LOVE<\/strong> their Diamonds!<\/p>\n<p>\nThe <strong>Requirements<\/strong> for what they Want and Need are generally the Same. <\/p>\n<p><h2>They are:<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low Profile<\/li>\n<li>Durable<\/li>\n<li>Smooth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Let&#8217;s get into them&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Low Profile<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe Ring needs to have a Low Profile to Work the Best. Which means, <strong>it needs to Sit as Low as Possible<\/strong> to the Finger so it won&#8217;t get Bumped or Hit. <\/p>\n<p><h2>Durable<\/h2>\n<p>\nJust being Low is Not Enough. The Mounting needs to be <strong>Heavy Enough and Durable Enough<\/strong> to take a Beating. I Recommend <strong>14k White<\/strong> or <strong>Yellow Gold<\/strong>, or even <strong>Platinum<\/strong> for Extra Durability. Rings that are Softer like 10k Gold and Silver <strong>just won&#8217;t last!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Smooth<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe Ring should also be <strong>as Smooth as Possible<\/strong> or as Plain as Possible. Mountings like this <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/engagement-rings\/channel-set\/14k-white-gold-channel-set-cathedral-engagement-ring-item-52601\">Cathedral Style Mountings are Perfect<\/a>. They&#8217;re Wide, Durable and Help Protect the Center Solitaire Diamond.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Channel Set Bands<\/strong>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/wedding-rings\/womens-anniversary\/-18k-white-gold-1.50ctw-channel-set-diamond-anniversary-ring-item-292\">like these Anniversary Bands<\/a>, are Ideal as well. You can order Large Carat Weights of these if you can&#8217;t find them in Stores. Most Jewelers carry up to 1.00 Carat, but I&#8217;ve ordered in 2.00 and 3.00 Carats before. <\/p>\n<p><h2>They Look Stunning! <\/h2>\n<p>\nOne Great Thing about these Mountings is the Fact that there are Few to <strong>No Prongs<\/strong>. They have nothing to Snag on or get Caught on. It&#8217;s just a Great Mounting that Sits Close to the Finger! <\/p>\n<p><h2>Larger Stones are Problems!<\/h2>\n<p>\nBut Sadly, when you&#8217;re Dealing with Larger Carat Weight Diamonds, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?CaratFrom=1.97&#038;CaratTo=3.16&#038;Color=F,E,D&#038;Clarity=VS2,VS1,VVS2,VVS1,IF&#038;Cut=Ideal,Excellent,TrueHearts&#038;PriceFrom=200&#038;PriceTo=999000&#038;Sort=Price,%20DefaultOrder&#038;ViewsOptions=Images&#038;showAdvanced=show&#038;Polish=EX,ID&#038;Symmetry=EX,ID&#038;Lab=GIA&#038;Flour=None,Negligible&#038;DepthFrom=45.0&#038;DepthTo=80.0&#038;TableFrom=50.0&#038;TableTo=83.0\">like these 2 and 3 Carats Solitaires<\/a>, you really can&#8217;t get the Head or Prongs Very Low. They have to be Big Enough to <strong>Support the Stone!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is why I Suggest putting the stone in a <strong>Basket Head Mounting<\/strong> (Head normally made for Gemstones), that way they will sit as Low as Possible.<\/p>\n<p>\nTake a look at some <strong>Great Examples of Nurses Rings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nThese should Plant some Ideas in your Mind of what you want to do&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>Rings for Nurses<\/h2>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rings-For-Nurses.jpg\" alt=\"Rings for Nurses!\" title=\"Rings for Nurses!\" width=\"502\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rings-For-Nurses.jpg 502w, https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rings-For-Nurses-126x300.jpg 126w, https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Rings-For-Nurses-428x1024.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nNow you&#8217;ll just have to be <strong>Extra Safe<\/strong> with your Ring at Work, and become an Expert at <strong>Putting Gloves<\/strong> over your Hands and Rings without Hurting your Ring, Catching the Prongs or Mounting, or <strong>Ripping the Rubber<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>But Practice Makes Perfect<\/h2>\n<p>\nJust don&#8217;t Blame me if you get Caught!<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Fun Fun Fun I&#8217;ve Dealt with Numerous Nurses over the course of my time and it&#8217;s always been a Fun and Interesting Challenge.
