Tips On Finding Wedding Bands

By Roger Gray


Perhaps the most important piece of jewelry worn in life is the wedding band. Exchanged as part of the marriage ceremony witnessed by family and friends are wedding bands and they are also symbolic of the bride and groom's commitment to each other. Every moment of every day, wedding bands, unlike other pieces of jewelry, are worn. Therefore, it is essential that a wedding band is comfortable and compatible with a couple's sense of style.

Before making any final decisions, the bride and groom to be should spend time researching and viewing band styles and materials. Couples can try browsing jewelry stores and Internet sites in order for them to gain a sense of their likes and dislikes.

Learn More about Wedding Band Materials

Traditionally, wedding bands are made of either platinum, gold, or white gold. For sufficient durability and quality, a couple that chooses gold bands should make sure to choose 14k or 18k gold. Titanium is another less expensive choice for men's bands. Bands may be embellished with special finishes or engraved patterns to reflect individual tastes. You can also have diamonds or other precious stones incorporated into the design.

Facts about Matching Bands

What many couples wish to have are matching wedding bands to symbolize their union. Engaged pairs may create a matching custom design for both bands or they may purchase matching "his and hers" rings. If a couple cannot agree on a shared band design, they may consider rings that are coordinated rather than matching. An example would be bands sharing similar styles such as modern, vintage, or classic, being made of the same material, including the same stones without it being identical, and having engraved patterns. If the bride and groom prefer different metals (gold vs. platinum), they may choose to create a ring that incorporates both colors.

You can Have Personalized Messages of Love

Engraving a meaningful sentiment or their wedding date on the inside of their wedding bands is what many couples choose to do. This option can "unite" the rings, even if the pair did not choose matching rings. Offered at most jewelry stores for a small fee is engraving. But if personalizing their rings with engraving is what the couples want to do, then they should make sure that there is sufficient time to ensure the rings are ready in advance of the ceremony.
