Metal Type

The metal type is a fundamental aspect of your wedding band. Common options include traditional gold (yellow, white, or rose)or platinum. Consider factors such as durability, color preference, and budget when choosing the metal type that best suits your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

Some metals and designs require more maintenance than others. White gold is plated with rhodium, which gives it the white color, but over time, this plating wears off, and the yellow color of the gold becomes more prominent. To maintain the shiny, white surface, we recommend that you have the ring rhodium plated by a jeweler at regular intervals. The frequency of this maintenance depends on how much wear and tear the ring is exposed to.

Yellow gold and rose gold will retain its color and is a very durable material that will last a lifetime if taken care of.

Band Width and Thickness

Band width and thickness play a significant role in the overall look and comfort of your wedding band. Determine whether you prefer a narrow or wide band, as well as the thickness that feels most comfortable on your finger. Try on different widths and thicknesses to find the perfect balance of style and comfort.

Design and Style

Wedding bands come in various designs and styles, ranging from classic and timeless to modern and intricate. Consider whether you prefer a simple, plain band, or one adorned with diamonds, gemstones, or intricate detailing. Choose a design that complements your engagement ring if you plan to wear them together.

Matching Sets

If you're purchasing wedding bands for both partners, consider whether you prefer matching sets or complementary styles. Matching sets offer a cohesive and unified look, while complementary styles allow each partner to express their individuality while still symbolizing their union. The most important thing however, it that you both are equally happy with your rings!
