Wedding Rings: Guidelines On Which One To Choose?

By Dave Harfield

So after you have made the biggest decision of your life and have decided to tie the knot, to agree to spend forever and a day with the one you love it's all well and good, but have you decided on the right wedding ring?! Choosing wedding rings can be a veritable minefield of colours, textures, shapes and sizes and bereft of good guidance, you may end up with one that neither of the couple really likes.

Fortuitously, by following the advice in this article you can choose a wedding ring that is both special and significant of your relationship; this ring will follow the two of you through the journey of marriage, stopping at every moment on the way so it's important that you pick the right one.

Let's assume the partner is a female, as one should always consider ladies first ; to begin with, you should consider the personality of the lady that is going to wear the ring! By all means go the whole hog, with diamonds, sapphires and emeralds all bejewelling the brightest of gold bands if she is a loud and proud, confident and glamorous woman.

If, she is more of a wallflower, however, someone who prefers to blend in with a touch of originality as opposed to being centre-stage, 24/7, then perhaps you should consider simplicity and elegance as what you should aim for; a subtler type of beauty, a plain gold or platinum band with a few imprints or signatures on it may be more appropriate.

A popular idea that many couples adopt is to get inscriptions carved on the inside of their wedding rings is another important element of wedding rings.

Now, although this can be a great idea, one that makes your rings all the more special and unique, it does bring another whole world of issues into the equation as to what message to actually get inscribed.

As wedding rings are intended to last forever, so there message should also, so a simple message of love is probably the most appropriate; an in-joke that you may find hilarious in your twenties may not seem so appealing as you gaze fondly at your rings in a retirement home!

The best thing that you can do is research online and see which jewellers offer the best deals, because as you can see, choosing the right wedding ring is by no means an easy task. With no reduction on the actual quality of the wedding ring, many online jewellers actually offer generous discounts for using their services. - 29959
