No.1
- Pick the right metal
Choose
a wedding ring made from the same metal as your engagement
ring, different metals can wear each other away.
No.2
- Get the right size
Fingers tend to swell up when they get hot, so never buy
a ring that's a bit tight on a cold day.
No.3 - Leave some room
If you intend to wear an eternity ring in the future make
sure you leave space on your finger for one.
No.4
- Don't limit your self to yellow gold
Gold is available in yellow, white, red, pink, green and
occasionally blue or purple.
No.5
- Consider platinum
White gold is usually plated with a metal called rhodium
and will need to be re-plated from time to time. If you
want a ring that stays white choose platinum.
No.6
- Set stones
Even the smallest diamond will liven up a plain wedding
band, but be careful; too many stones can take attention
away from your engagement ring.
No.7
- Engrave the inside
Engrave the date of your wedding on the inside of your
rings and he will never forget your anniversaries.
No.8
- Use sentimental gold
A properly trained Goldsmith will be able to make your
wedding rings using gold from jewellery you may have inherited,
for example, your parents' or grandparents' wedding rings.
No.9
- Be weary of modern metals
Metals like titanium, tungsten and stainless steel cannot
be worked on in a traditional Goldsmith's studio. If you
want a wedding ring made from a modern metal make sure
the jeweller selling the ring knows how to resize or repair
it.
No.10
- Don't be a fashion victim
Russian wedding rings, bark effect finishes and feature
hallmarks have all been in and gone out of fashion. When
choosing a wedding band get the ring you like.
