Wedding rings can be so much more than just a simple plain band! You have so
many choices regarding them, that you can get the style that showcases you and
your partners love and commitment. In today’s blog, Preusser Jewelers offers a
wedding ring-buying guide for couples.

The Perfect Precious Metal

Precious metals for wedding rings usually come in two basic types: Gold
and platinum. There are three different colors of gold to choose from: Yellow
gold, White gold, and Rose gold.
Yellow gold is the traditional wedding band color and remains one of the most popular and classic choices. White gold has a silvery-white appearance, similar to platinum or silver, and creates a sleek and elegant wedding band. Rose gold has a warm, pinkish hue that provides a soft, romantic look. Platinum has a silvery-white appearance with a natural luxurious sheen, often chosen for its understated elegance.

Diamonds

Diamonds are the classic and perfect choice for brides. They work wonderfully in wedding rings and engagement rings! Consider a pavé band filled with a row of diamonds as part of a bridal set that
matches or contrasts your engagement ring. An eternity band has diamonds all around the ring to symbolize everlasting love. Diamonds add sparkle to a men’s or women’s wedding ring!

Bridal Sets

Bridal sets combine two or more rings. Women wear two rings on the same finger,
one as an engagement ring and another as a wedding ring. The two rings can be
soldered together if you prefer!

Bands

Bands vary in width from 1 to 12 millimeters or more! Comfort-fit rings slide over your
knuckles more easily because the inside of the ring is rounded. Comfort-fit rings fit a
bit looser than standard bands. Selecting the correct band is one reason why it’s
essential to get your finger sized properly before getting the wedding ring you want.

Lifestyle

Your lifestyle may determine the type of wedding ring you want. When working out,
or playing sports, or working in the yard, it is wise to remove your band.

Timing and Budget

Start your search for wedding rings early once you decide to get married. Early
shopping lets you determine a budget and shop for rings within your price range. It
also gives you an idea of what you can afford in plenty of time for your big day. It’s a
good idea to get your wedding bands about 3 months before the big day.
