Wedding Rings and Wedding Bands

When it comes down to choosing a wedding ring or a wedding band there are so many options to choose from! You need to take into account vital information such as size, colour, weight and materials. When entering a store and being presented with an array of rings in all different shapes and sizes the concept of buying a wedding ring can get a bit overwhelming. What sort of things can you look out for to make this decision easier I hear you say? Well I have listed a few suggestions below!

Matching or Unique?
Before you go down to the jewellers you need to decide as a couple whether you are going to have a  matching ring or if you are going to have a unique one each.  If you are going to get matching rings remember that the man won’t want lots of frilly diamonds on his man hand!

Material Type
Wedding bands come in a wide array of material types. One can choose from gold, platinum, silver and titanium for their desired wedding or engagement ring. Within each material type, there may also be various varieties, i.e. 10k gold, 14k gold, 24k gold and white gold. It is important to have an idea of what material type you are looking to have your ring comprised of as this will help to narrow down the many options that you will be met with at the store. You defiantly have to make a decision on what material you like before you start looking through hundreds of rings or bands. The most common materials are gold, platinum, silver and titanium. Tungsten is also popular ring metal.

Diamonds
When going down the route of Diamonds, make sure that you ask for an independent grading report. This will give you your Diamonds genealogy, don’t buy a costly stone without one, since it’s your guarantee that you’re getting what you’ve paid for.

To engrave or not to engrave?
Most Jewellers should be able to engrave anything into your ring such as letters, numbers and symbols. The one thing to think about when engraving, is whether you wish to hand down your wedding ring to your children or grandchildren. Some brides like the idea of keeping the ring in the family, if you do want to hand down the ring in the future, think twice about engraving it with your husband’s initials!

Fashionable?
Your wedding ring is something that you are going to be wearing for the rest of your life.  My final tip is that you must be 100% confident that the ring suits you. Does it match your fashion trends? There is nothing worse than having a ring that you are not happy wearing 10 years down the line.
