5 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Wedding Ring

How do you choose the right wedding ring?

It’s something you’ll wear for the rest of your life, so it pays to spend some time choosing a wedding ring that is perfect for you. Here are 5 handy tips to help your decision.

1. CHECK HOW THE RING SITS WITH YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING.
How do the two rings look side-by-side? If your engagement ring has a very big central stone, there may be a gap in between the two rings, which bothers some people. In this case, consider how a curved wedding ring may be designed to fit around the engagement ring or how a fitted wedding ring may be designed to interlock with the engagement ring.

2. BUT DON’T OVER-THINK IT.
Sure, it’s nice to have your wedding ring complement your engagement ring, but don’t stress if they’re not twins. They’re two separate rings for two separate reasons, and seeing that distinction isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, some people prefer it.

3. BE YOURSELF.
Don’t feel obligated to pick a plain wedding ring just because it’s tradition. Look at unique accents and interesting details in case they appeal even more. Remember: your wedding ring should match your personality, no one else’s.

4. THROW IN SOME DIAMONDS.
Once you’ve chosen the wedding ring, consider popping in a few diamonds (or other precious gemstones). Diamond-set wedding rings are a popular choice, largely because they provide a beautiful sparkly backdrop for engagement rings. Of course, diamonds aren’t just for the girls. Consider a single diamond or coloured stone in the groom’s ring too.

5. ENGRAVING.
Consider an engraving on the inside to make your ring even more special.

In addition, a key factor when choosing a wedding ring is the metal it’s made out of. For the bride, this is normally determined by what metal her engagement ring is. Our team would be happy to help you decide which metal is right for you, or answer any questions you have.
