subject: Choosing A Wedding Ring [print this page] Both women's and men's wedding rings come in many styles and metals. Some couples even design their own rings. Some couples reuse wedding rings that have been in their families for years. Others may have a diamond reset that might have been left to them by their mother or grandmother.
Most men's wedding rings are wider than women's wedding rings, although wedding rings for women are very wide often when the bride does not plan to wear both an engagement and a wedding ring. Most couples choose rings that either are similar to each other's rings or match each other's rings. Metals that are often used for wedding rings include gold (either yellow or white), platinum, stainless steel, titanium or tungsten.
Some couple choose the two latter metals as symbols of the strength of their love for one another. Yellow gold is the most common metal from which wedding rings are crafted. Most often, the wedding ring is the same metal as the engagement ring. It is important to remember, when choosing a wedding band, that is meant to be worn for the rest of one's life.
Some couples prefer wedding bands that are patterned braided, carved or engraved. An embossed design or a Celtic design is a possibility. Some people choose claddagh rings the Irish symbol of love that is a heart held by two hands with a crown on the top. It symbolizes love, loyalty and friendship. Many couples have a short saying carved inside a wedding band or perhaps their initials and their wedding date.
Both women's and men's rings sometimes include precious stones. Sometime a woman may choose to wear one wide band with a diamond or other stone in the center in lieu of an engagement ring and wedding ring set. Some women like rings that have diamonds (or other stones) encircling the ring as a symbol of the eternal quality of love. Sometimes a man may choose to have a small precious stone, or several small precious stones embedded in his wedding ring. They could be diamonds or any other stones he chooses, including his or his wife's birthstone or both of their birthstones.
Do not think that the more you spend the more 'perfect' the wedding ring will be. It is quite possible that you could buy one of the cheaper rings in a jewelry store and your partner will love as much, if not more, than if you had spent twice as much. The reason is that it all comes down to personal preference and the thought that you put into it.
