Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Rings
Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Rings
Perhaps one of the most enjoyable purchases you’ll make when planning your wedding is that of your wedding rings. They’ve come a long way from the days of the simple gold band! While that will always be a timeless classic, there are lots of new options as well.
The first thing to consider is your lifestyle and that of your grooms. If he works with his hands a lot consider a platinum or titanium band. Both of these metals are more durable than gold and stand up to a lot of a abuse! The same goes for you! White gold is another option, but keep in mind that white gold doesn’t actually insist. It’s actually a mix of gold and other metals dipped in rhodium. Depending on your body chemistry and the products you use (lotions, soaps, etc) it will eventually begin to yellow and require redipping every year or so to renew its shine and color.
Your band doesn’t have to match your groom’s, but it should compliment your engagement ring, unless you don’t plan on wearing it once you’re married. Don’t be afraid to try on lots of bands until you find the perfect one.
While diamond eternity bands are an increasingly popular choice for a wedding band, go for one that doesn’t have the diamond going all the way around-otherwise should you need your ring resized in the future due to weight loss, pregnancy, etc, you’ll be out of luck. Full eternity bands are more likely to catch on things and snag clothing as well unless you choose a channel setting.
Engraving is a nice way to add a personal and special touch to your rings. It can be something simple like your wedding date and initials or something more such as a line from a favorite poem or saying.
Be sure and order your rings at least 6 months before your wedding day, especially if yours is a special order. This will insure you’ll have plenty of time to deal with any problems. A few days before, take them back to your jeweler for a quick cleaning to insure they’ll sparkle on your special day!
