When one thinks about wedding jewelry, she is probably thinking about engagement rings and women's diamond jewelry. However, we can not forget that men's wedding bands are also part of wedding jewelry. It's easy to get cooked up in what women want, but lets not forget the men. It can be an overwhelming process for most, especially if it's not used to wearing jewelry.
There are a lot more factors than just thinking about if you want a gold or platinum band. First think about your lifestyle. Do you intend on wearing the ring everyday to work? What kind of work do you do and do you use your hands? A mechanic may not want to wear the ring and risk it getting dirty or damaged. But if you do work with your hands quite a bit, you'll need to purchase a ring that is more durable and scratch resistant. This ring will be with your for the rest of your life, so you need to know that it can withstand the elements. When in doubt, take the ring off.
The best part about choosing wedding jewelry is finding a ring that fits your personality. You want it to be a reflection of you. If you prefer the simple things in life, then go with a simple gold wedding band. It's traditional, timeless, and beautiful. You do not need a lot of flair. Do you want something a little different than normal? Search for bands that have different color inlays, ribbed edges, patterns, or two-tones. Looking for modernity or perhaps the latest technology? Go with platinum or tungsten. Both are sleek. Choose ones that use laser technology to create beautiful patterns.
The most difficult part about searching for wedding jewelry is choosing the material, but you can narrow down your choices with the aforementioned factors. Gold is the most popular choice and you have the option of choosing yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold. You can even find bands that mix the colors. White gold is the most expensive of the three. Do not forget to think about karat, the higher the karat, the better the quality and durability. But it also means a higher cost. Titanium is the hardest natural metal. It is a silver / gray color, extremely durable, and lightweight. Platinum is a white metal. It too is durable, but it is much heavier than the others. Tungsten is a gray / white color and is the most durable option. It takes a lot to scratch tungsten. It also happens to be much cheaper than platinum.
One of the final decisions to make is whether or not you would like gemstones or diamonds on the band. Women are not the only ones who like a little sparkle and shine on their wedding jewelry. However, gemstones can pop out of the setting if knocked around enough. Therefore, it's not wise to choose this if you work with your hands a lot.
Shopping for diamond jewelry online should not be reserved for just women. Choosing a wedding band can be a fun and meaningful experience for both!
