How to choose the perfect wedding ring
A wedding ring is to be worn every single day of your life. It is an enduring symbol of your marriage and the greatest commitment you have made to your spouse.
Throughout history, wedding rings have been a symbol of love, faithfulness, and loyalty. This symbolism is widely found in almost every tradition and culture. For many, the wedding ring is often valued as a sacred piece of jewelry.
Whether you want something unique or a more traditional band, here are some top tips to help you choose the perfect wedding ring that both you and your spouse will love to wear for a lifetime.
Precious metals
The first thing you can start with is choosing the metal type for your precious wedding ring. There are several different types of metals available with different styles and properties.
- 18K or 14K yellow gold is a classic choice and still quite popular for engagement and wedding rings.
- White gold gives that modern and very stylish look and is gaining popularity in today’s modern fashion. An advantage of white gold is that it can be worn with platinum or silver jewelry and looks good on most fabrics.
- Platinum one of the hardest metals is commonly considered a symbol for enduring love. Platinum jewelry is also very pure. While 18 K gold jewelry contains only 75% pure gold, most of the platinum jewelry contains 95% pure platinum.
When choosing metal for your ring, consider which type of material will suit best with your clothes and other jewelry that you usually wear. Some women like to match their engagement rings and wedding ring. This is an important thing to consider, especially if you are planning on wearing both rings on the same hand.
The style of your wedding ring
When you look for styles, you will definitely find a wide range of options. The first thing to decide when choosing the style of the ring is either both of you will like to wear similar rings or choose a different one that expresses individual personality.
The most popular styles include:
Traditional plain bands: They are plain and simple, yet always look stylish and fashionable. They are best suited for those who aren’t so habituated to wearing jewelry.
Pipe Wedding Band: This is a modern style. The rings will have a straight, flat top and straight edges. This is a very popular choice for men’s wedding rings.
Pave Wedding Band: One of the most popular band styles for wedding rings. This style will make an ideal choice if you want something that is a little different from the traditional band styles.
Prong Set Bands: In this style, you will have thin metal prongs that will hold several diamonds in place. Here the focus is more on the stones than on the metal.
Start early
One of the most important factors in getting the perfect wedding ring is Time. Make sure that you start looking out early. Many couples tend to rush in the last hours to choose their wedding rings. This results in settling on something that is available and not on the one that you really wanted. If you are planning to get on custom wedding rings, it is even more important to ensure that you have enough time for the ring to be completed. The production time can vary depending on the styles, design, and detailing in the rings. It usually will take about 3-6 weeks for your custom made rings to be completed.
