Choosing The Perfect Wedding Ring

Posted by admin | Wedding Jewelry | Tuesday 1 December 2009 4:45 am

Your wedding ring is probably the most precious piece of jewellery you will ever own. It is also something you will be wearing every day for the rest of your life so you need to make sure you will be comfortable wearing it. Choose something that is suited to your style and your personality, that is timeless and high quality as well as within your budget. The traditional plain gold wedding band will be in style for years to come and will never date but there are many alternatives available if you prefer something more unique and individual.

Yellow Gold, White Gold or Platinum?

The materials of which wedding rings are made of have improved through the years. However, the most popular are still those made from classic 9ct yellow gold or 18ct yellow gold. Gold has a timeless appeal and if looked after well, a piece of gold jewellery can last you a lifetime. Wedding rings made from 9ct white gold or 18ct white gold are also gaining popularity. White gold wedding rings are cheaper than platinum wedding rings but white gold still looks very contemporary and modern. Platinum is a very suitable material for a wedding ring as it is durable and hardwearing and therefore will endure wear and tear for a very long time. Platinum will not tarnish or discolour as it has no surface coating to wear off, this is why it is ideal for making fine jewellery such as wedding rings.

Wedding Ring Style

When it comes to style there are even more options available than there are for the choice of metals. The shape of the band itself is known as the profile and amongst the most popular are d-Shape wedding rings which have a traditional rounded look with a flat fit inside against the finger. Court wedding rings are curved on the inside and outside for a more comfortable fit. Comfort fit or sometimes called flat court wedding rings have a contemporary flat look with a comfortable court fit on the finger. Flat wedding rings are flat on the top and inside and have a more modern look. Wedding band widths generally range from about 2mm to 10mm and you have a choice of lightweight, medium and heavyweight. Your choice is completely down to personal preference and whether you want the ring to look heavy and chunky or delicate and dainty. Your ring can also be finished with a highly polished shine or with satin or matt finishes.

People used to say that the cost of the ring should be 2 months salary. The most important thing is to try to stay within your budget, regardless of if it’s 2 months salary, 2 weeks salary, or 2 years salary. Your perfect ring has a great significance and should be worn for it’s meaning rather than it’s monetary value. The best way to judge value for money when buying your wedding rings is to compare the weights of the material used. Buying your wedding jewellery online will allow you make great savings as online retailers don’t have the huge overheads of high street shops. Have your ring size measured properly. Most high street jewellers will happily do this for you without cost. The ring you select should not fit too tightly as your hands will swell in hot weather. Equally the ring should not be too loose that it slides round on your finger as you may end up losing it. Rings can always be stretched if need be in the future but attempting to make a ring smaller will leave the band with a join in it. Ensure that your wedding rings come with a guarantee and are covered by an initial money back guarantee incase you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase when it arrives. Finally, ensure that your ring is hallmarked.
