Top Tips When Choosing A Wedding Ring

The most important factor to bear in mind when planning your budget for your wedding is that the exchange of rings is one of the most important and symbolic parts of your day.

Your rings will be on your fingers from that day forward and memories of your wedding day will come flooding back every time you look at them.

The first rule is –

There Are No Rules!

It is not necessary to have matching rings (unless you want them). You are two individual people and your choice of wedding rings should reflect this.

Wedding rings no longer have to be gold or platinum. There are some amazing alternatives including Titanium, Palladium and Zirconium.

Unusual materials and finishes are popular with men and becoming increasingly attractive to women who want to express their individuality.

Ladies, your wedding ring should complement the style of your engagement ring if you have one and intend to continue wearing it on your left hand.

If your engagement ring is unusually shaped and you do not want a gap between it and your wedding ring, you will have to have a wedding ring that fits around the shape of your engagement ring. There are some ready made shaped rings but you should also consider having a wedding ring made specifically to your own requirements.

Some women choose a wedding ring so different from their engagement ring that they decide to wear their engagement ring on their right hand or perhaps have it remodelled into something completely different.

Think about personalising your wedding rings by having them engraved – be creative with your engraving and use your pet names or a special quote.

When having your finger measured, bear in mind that your finger size can vary by as much as one full size depending on the temperature and time of day.  Again there are no rules about how tight or loose your ring should feel. It’s about what feels comfortable, some people like to have a snug fit whilst others prefer a looser fit.

Remember that jewellers cannot hold stock of every ring in every size so it is likely that your rings may have to be ordered. Please allow 6 – 8 weeks for your wedding rings to be made, but the sooner they are ordered the better – one less thing to be stressed about!

Above all choose a reputable jeweller for this most important purchase. The experience of buying your wedding rings should be enjoyable and fun.
