Eternity Wedding

Selecting a Wedding Ring

One of the most lasting of wedding choices to be made are the wedding rings. After all, in an ideal world, those wedding rings will be on your fingers for the rest of your lives. Here are a few points to ponder.

The Groom. Is he planning on wearing a wedding ring? Will he be always wearing it, or only for good? Do you want co-ordinating wedding rings or are you happy with your own individual styles? Some couples opt to have the groom’s wedding ring designed as a wider and less ornate version of the bride’s. Others go for perfectly matched. The choice is yours and you should both be happy with the final outcome.

The Engagement Ring. This is obviously the most important factor to consider when selecting the bride’s wedding ring. Traditionally, the engagement and wedding rings would be made from the same metal, but today many brides are stacking their rings and having each in a different complimentary color. Alternatively 2 and 3 tone metal wedding rings can provide plenty of choices.

Stones or Plain. Wedding rings need no longer be a plain band in either yellow gold or a white metal. Both brides and grooms are now selecting wedding rings set with stones. Popular choices include eternity wedding rings for her, with the entire band set with diamonds, to wedding rings with a little less sparkle and fewer diamonds. Grooms can select from traditional white diamonds to extremely fashionable colored diamonds, with black being a popular choice. Semi precious gems are also popular choices for those couples looking for less costly colourful sparkle.

Width. The width of the wedding ring will be determined to some level by the size of your finger. Petite fingers will look better with a narrower wedding ring, and those with a bigger finger often look more balanced with a wider wedding ring. For the bride, another important consideration will be the size of the band on her engagement ring. For a more finished look, it can be a nice idea to select a band size identical to that of the engagement ring. For those wanting wider bands it can be a smart idea to try on a similar size before custom ordering to ensure that the rings will all fit below your knuckle. (Unless of course you don’t need to bend your finger.)

Allergies. Anyone who suffers from sensitive skin may prefer a wedding ring made from more skin friendly metals. Hypoallergenic metals that are suitable for wedding rings include platinum, palladium, and titanium. Higher gold carats, although not necessarily hypoallergenic, are going to be better than a lower carat as there will be more gold in the alloy and less of other potentially irritating metals.

From simple to ornate, traditional to contemporary, there is a huge range of wedding rings for couples to select from.

Eternity Wedding band on sale?

I am looking for 2 matching eternity rings to use to surround my engagment ring for my wedding in October. I love the way these look, but they are REALLY expensive! Any suggestions on how to get them cheaper or where I can find them on sale, used, etc… Thanks!!
Thank you all for your suggestions so far! I actually really like the cubic zirconia idea, but do you think it would look fake next to my real engagement ring??

Cubic zirconia.
Honestly, they sparkle just as pretty, and who’s going to get a jeweler’s loupe out to examine the stones anyway?
