Choosing Your Wedding Ring - Top 10 Tips
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.
