Michael O’Connor of MSN has some great tips for choosing and buying the right wedding band. When my fiance (now Husband) and I were planning and preparing for our wedding, we decided on 2 to 3 things that we’d like to splurge on. Things that we would have to mark the special day in our lives.
One of these things were our wedding bands. Apart from the photos and the videos and your memories of your wedding day, your wedding bands are living reminders of your commitment to each other. Therefore, they deserve thoughtful consideration.
Michael’s 6 tips are:
Search at least six months prior to the wedding
Don’t skimp on the wedding band budget
Have a frank discussion with each other
Today, wedding bands don’t necessarily need to match each other exactly, but they should be complementary and say something about the fact that the two people wearing them are “together.” Talk about the styles you like and if you want bands that are an exact match, or simply work beautifully together.
Pick a design that works with your style and your hand
Try returning to your engagement ring jeweler
Chances are that the jeweler who sold you the engagement ring that you’re happy with will have wedding bands that work perfectly with that engagement ring and carry complementary rings for him to choose among. If you were happy with the service and selection he showed you when shopping for the engagement ring, most likely you’ll be happy with his selection of wedding bands and the service and guidance he will provide you when shopping.Purchase a wedding band that is made of the same material as your engagement ring
Different metals wear at different rates. If you are wearing your wedding band on the same finger as your engagement ring, the two rings will inevitably constantly be rubbing up against each other. If one ring metal is harder, stronger or more dense in nature, than the other, predominant metal will win, and wear away at the other.
