Picking out unique engagement rings as well as wedding band for your special day can be challenging and overwhelming. With so many options and styles to choose from, you may be unsure of which band is right for you and your future spouse. Here are some tips on how to pick out the perfect engagement ring and wedding band.
Unique Engagement Rings
Choosing the right engagement ring to pop the question is no small feat. This article of ours gets into the nitty gritty of selecting the perfect unique engagement ring to get your future spouse, but if you have any specific questions, never hesitate to reach out to us.
Wedding Ring Styles
Traditionally, spouses will choose matching wedding bands to signify their love and commitment to each other. While many couples still engage in this practice, many opt for their own individual wedding bands to highlight their personal style.
Women’s wedding rings come in a variety of styles and are often designed to match an engagement ring. Modern wedding rings can have gemstones, slimmer bands and different metal options besides gold. Many women also opt for a simple gold band as well.
Men’s wedding rings typically have simpler designs and are thicker. Unfortunately, men’s wedding bands do not get as much attention but they are just as important. You can still create a beautiful wedding band that will last a lifetime.
Buy Your Bands Together
While unique engagement rings have more of a surprise element, wedding bands can be purchased together so you and your significant other can decide on style and color. Even if your wedding bands do not match completely, buying them together will give you both peace of mind. Since you will both be wearing them side by side for years to come, it is essential to be on the same page.
Plan a Budget
Wedding rings are expensive, so it is essential to plan a budget before purchasing them. With the expense of a wedding, reception and honeymoon, you likely want to save money on your wedding rings. Even if you have a strict budget, you can still find a beautiful wedding band for you and your spouse. This is a great beginners guide to budgeting for engagement rings and wedding rings. You can also browse our catalog here to see our wedding band and financing options. We also offer financial planning so you can stay within your budget.
Give Yourself Time
When shopping for wedding rings, give yourself plenty of time to browse and try on different styles. Start shopping for rings a few months before your wedding to ensure that you find the right ring before your big day, especially if you are buying custom rings or having engravings done, as these factors may take longer to complete.
Plan Around Your Lifestyle
The type of wedding band you purchase may depend on your lifestyle. If you and your spouse are more active, work outdoors or love to get your hands dirty, you may want something solid and sturdy. Rounded, comfort fit options are available for those who play sports or exercise heavily. If you are worried about ring damage, consider choosing platinum since it is durable and scratch-resistant. There are also plenty of options available for more ornate, detailed designs.
Narrow it Down
There are so many options when it comes to picking out wedding rings. From metal type to gemstones, it can be overwhelming to decide what is right for you. Discuss with your significant other and try to narrow down your desired design elements. Simplifying the design process will allow you to easily pick the right ring and stay within your budget. Luckily, you can design a custom wedding ring on our website step-by-step.
Schedule a Ring Fitting
Most people rarely take off their wedding ring, making it crucial that it fits properly. Weight fluctuations, altitude changes, exercise and travel can all impact your ring fit as your fingers expand and contract. Ensuring a proper fit for your wedding ring will allow for maximum comfort and adaptability.
