What to Consider when Buying a Wedding Ring
/As your special day approaches, the to-do list probably feels like it's growing by the minute. There is an endless string of tasks to complete before your wedding. While all these to-do list items are important, some carry a little more weight than others. The selection of your wedding rings is one of the more important decisions. You should put a lot of thought and care into your selection of this special jewelry. Here are a few important things to help guide your search.
Pick Your Metal
The choice of metal band for your wedding ring is critical. There are plenty of options that can be overwhelming. Try to consider the types of jewelry or colors you typically wear. For example, if you often wear earth tones and warm colors, you should consider gold, rose gold, or similar metals.
If you or your partner have an engagement ring, you should consider a metal that matches or complements that ring. Since an engagement ring and a wedding ring are traditionally worn on the same finger, most people find it appropriate to make these rings the same color and style. However, you may prefer to switch it up and go for something different. The choice is yours!
Consider Stones
Once you've decided on the band, it's time to think about stones. Many wedding bands are just that: a band. However, you can get a wedding ring that features a stone or an array of stones. This is another time when you should consider your engagement ring. According to The Knot, roughly 86% of engagement rings have diamonds as their center stone. Perhaps you want another diamond to complement the one on your engagement ring. Conversely, maybe one diamond is enough and you'd like to opt for a different stone or no stone at all. Whatever your tastes, our experts can help you find a ring that perfectly suits your style.
Account for Your Lifestyle
While it may be tempting to go for the flashiest ring you find, you need to consider your daily life and routine. Your wedding ring is likely an item that you'll wear every single day, so it should account for the activities you typically do on a day-to-day basis. Comfort and functionality must be considered as you search for the perfect wedding ring.
