Young Couples Prefer Platinum Wedding Rings
White Gold and Platinum jewelry are making a comeback on the jewelry scene
. More and more young couples are opting for these metals when planning the wedding rings and other jewelry. Probably because they have been so accustomed to the white color after spending money in buying much less expensive silver articles, that they have forgotten to appreciate the traditional yellow gold.
Over the past few decades, college goers have typically exchanged silver rings as a sign of their friendship. Silver chains were also a popular trend amongst these students. These people are the ones who have now graduated and are part of the workforce and form the bulk of the soon to be married couples. These youngsters who have been exposed to so many silver articles, very naturally tend to prefer this shade over the traditional yellow gold.
This trend is not a passing fancy. More than 30 % of all wedding rings bought in current times are made from either white gold or platinum. Most of the designs that you would come across in bridal magazines would be based on platinum. It is becoming the metal of choice for wedding jewelry.
It is now no longer necessary the wedding rings of the bride and the groom must compliment each other in style. Men are opting for something that suits their personality and style and if that means deviating from tradition, then so be it.
Couples need to decide on a budget for their wedding ring before they start shopping or else it is very easy to get lost since there will be a plethora of options to select from. Once the budget is finalized, selection of the metal (gold , white gold or platinum) and the size of the diamond will be the next most important deciding factors.
In terms of budget, you need to take into account the entire cost of your wedding event and your finances and see how best you can allocate funds to your wedding ring. Although it is a tradition that the budget should be twice a man's monthly salary - but it may not always be practical.
When you are finalizing your wedding ring, ensure that you have your ring finger measured, so that the ring is very well fitting and comfortable. Genuineness of the metal and purity is also very essential. Buy your wedding ring only from a trusted jeweler.
A wedding ring is one jewel that both the bride and groom will adorn throughout their marital journey. Hence it is important that it should not be a rushed decision. If you have carefully planned your selection process, you will be able to consider the plethora of designs available, so that you can peacefully select that one perfect wedding ring.
