Do not forget the ring a saying famously drummed into the best man before the wedding, well that goes for the future bride/Groom as well. With all the wedding preparations, it is quite easy to slip your mind to buy the most important item that makes the wedding ceremony a memorable one. The wedding ring is so important because it bonds two people together and it is the exchange of wedding rings that finalize the vow (I do).
Do a checklist of all your wedding plans and be sure that choosing a perfect wedding ring is one of your top priorities besides turning up on the day?
Choosing a wedding ring is not as simple as you think, much thought is needed behind your chosen design. What you have to remember the wedding band binds the happy couple together forever. This ornate piece of Jewelry with so much meaning will be worn every day so we need to choose something pretty special.
Back to your budget which will play an important role when making your choice, because of the penny shortage does not mean that you can not have that piece of warm gold or cool silver if precious stones were to be embedded or mounted in your actual design then don’t expect too many diamonds with just a fist full of dollars.
Jewelry materials like what is used in wedding rings have evolved over the years.
Popular is the 14K/18 yellow gold which you will find more of a favorable option worldwide. Close on its heels is the white gold gaining more popularity by the day.
Why not consider platinum, known to be one of the hardest metals and once again a fine choice in a wedding ring. Platinum is a durable material and therefore able to hold up to any wear and tear.
Platinum wedding rings look very similar to rings made of white gold which many can be excused for the mix-up but at the end of the day, both look stylish and elegant. However, platinum wedding rings are more expensive.
For the man, it has to be Titanium which is becoming a favorite among the male species. It is light and long-lasting and far less expensive as platinum. Once again Titanium wedding rings can be mistaken for the white gold in appearance.
Styles and what to choose is where you come in, only you know what you are looking for therefore it is wise to shop around before making the final decision, you would never forgive yourself if you see a cheaper ring around the corner and more beautiful. There are so many designs and styles to choose from. You have traditional plain bands to more upmarket exquisite ones.
Modern society designs are worth checking out. Why not opt for a two-tone wedding band. Celtic wedding rings are famous these days with couples where they bond their marriage with highly carved and engraved work of a craftsman.
In some cases, the bride matches her wedding ring with the design of her engagement ring. This also has to be taken into consideration when mixing and matching especially when both rings are worn on the same finger.
It is best to know the ring size if shopping out of a catalog or online.
By going into a jeweler for the wedding bands will cause you less stress where if the rings are ordered they may not be the right size or wrong design when delivered therefore all the heartache of having to send them back. Now we don’t want more heartache than necessary as you have that to come with married life (Only joking)
Online shopping is an easy option just be sure to have the right measurements etc and all should be hunky-dory just like the hunk you are about to marry.
