You have your dream engagement ring, dream partner and you are in the midst of planning your wedding (how exciting!). The advice we give to all our customer when they start the wedding planning process is that your wedding band should be number one on your list. Why? Because if you leave it too late your ring bearer will be holding an empty box!
So how should you go about purchasing your wedding bands? Here is an easy guide to follow so your bridal set is sparkling perfectly on your special day.
Things to Consider
When searching for the perfect wedding rings there are a few things to consider so you make a choice that you will be happy with for the rest of your life. Think about your lifestyle, your fashion sense, your job, your skin type and things you do every day.
For Her
Try to find a wedding ring that will match the style of your engagement ring. Choosing the same profile and the same width as your engagement ring will mean the design will sit comfortably on your finger and looksimilar to your engagement ring, encouraging you to wear them together. If you have a diamond in your engagement ring and want diamonds in your wedding band you may want to pick the same setting type and diamond shape, so the two rings complement each other and look like a set.
Often the wedding ring is worn on without the engagement ring after the wedding so considering your job and day to day activities may help in your final decision.
For Him
Choosing the right wedding ring for you also needs to be well thought out, especially if you, the groom has not worn jewellery, and in particular rings, before. Consider your day to day activities like sport, your job, hobbies and choose a ring suitable to wear during these tasks. Also confirm that neither nor your partner are allergic to any kinds of metals, and if so, choose a safe precious metal such as platinum or palladium which have a high purity of fine metal and are therefore hypoallergenic.
