TOP TEN TIPS FOR BUYING YOUR WEDDING RING
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 replated 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.
