Wedding Band: The Circle Of Life
There are so many different connotations attached to a wedding
. Perfection is just one of them. It really goes without saying that you would dearly want everything to be spot on in your once-in-a-lifetime event. Wedding bands too, have to fit not only in form but also in their beauty. Here is your guide to choose that perfect ring for that special occasion.
Types of metal used
Wedding rings are exchanged as a promise of undying love and affection for each other. Commensurate with the meaning they signify, they have to last forever.
Traditionally, 14K to 22K gold and silver have been used to make wedding rings. Other metals used are platinum and titanium which are known for their durability and biocompatibility. Metals are also used in combinations to heighten the beauty of the ring.
Designs
From pre-fabricated designs to custom designs, women's wedding bands are available in a plethora of options. From regular designs to Celtic, Gothic, to personalized inscriptions, there is no dearth to what is possible. They are also available to fit precisely to the engagement ring.
While some prefer plain wedding bands, others may go for subtle engravings. You can simply browse through catalogues to make up your mind regarding the design.
Custom made options include getting your fingerprints or names etched on each others rings.
Stones
Not everybody prefers gemstones adorning their wedding rings. But for those who do, generally diamonds are the favored choice. Other alternatives include adding birthstones to your rings. Combination of different colored stones also works. Most of the time, a colored gemstone such as sapphire or ruby is studded to contrast with a diamond. It gives a stunning effect to your ring.
Comfort
Most importantly, it is always best to try on the wedding band to check its comfort fit. A good ring should not impinge upon your skin, or strangle your finger's circulation. It should slide in you finger, and just as easily slide out. Smooth finish rings are therefore always preferred.
Other unique options
Unique women's wedding bands are also available in wood, and tagua. Wood makes for an interesting look.
Combined with precious stones, it can make for a unambiguously different design.
Tagua is a form of ivory derived from plant kingdom. Off white to cream colored, it is very similar to ivory, in that it can be easily engraved upon. Tagua rings also lined with wood to make for beautifully special wedding rings.
Nevertheless, do not forget to try on a wedding band before you buy it. What looks good on the velvet cushion, may not sit as pretty on your hand. Be even choosier when you go shopping for your wedding ring. Unlike your wedding dress, the ring will be on your hand forever. You must go through the trouble of finding that perfect fit, comfort and look-wise. After all, you went through the trouble to find the one who will slide the ring on your finger, didn't you?
