A wedding is a
very special day, not just for the bride and groom but for their
families and friends. A bride wants to look her best on her wedding
day. A Diamond Wedding Ring is the easiest and best way to look
glamorous on your special day.
But planning a
wedding can be hectic and stressful. Below are several easy steps
that will make it a snap for you to pick the ideal diamond
wedding ring at the right price.
The Bride
1.The First
step is to determine how much money you have to spend on the diamond
wedding rings. The most expensive things on most weddings are the
rings, flowers and the bridal gown. Set your budget and stick to it.
2.If you wear
a diamond engagement ring,
plan on choosing a diamond wedding ring that compliments it. The
designs should agree. If the band of your engagement ring is curved
or straight, choose a similar diamond wedding band. The diamond
wedding ring should 'fit' well next to the engagement ring and look
like the two were made for each other. (Just like you and your partner!)
3.The metal of
the rings should look similar. If for example your engagement ring is
a diamond on a yellow-gold band, it is best to buy a yellow-gold
wedding band with diamonds set into it.
4.The shape of
the wedding band will depend on the shape of the engagement so that
the two rings sit close together on the finger without a big space in
between them.
5.When it
comes to width of the band, you may wonder what it shall be. Wide
band or narrow band? This may largely be determined by your taste.
However, eternity ring
must always compliment your engagement
ring. It must not be much wider than your engagement ring. Also
the length of your fingers may determine the length of the ring. If
you have short fingers, then a narrower wedding band may be best for you.
6.Why go plain
when you can have diamonds or other gemstones on your wedding Band.
For the Groom
1.Just like
the bride, set a budget and stick to it to avoid overspending unless
of course money is no object.
2.The diamond
wedding ring you choose should fit your work and social life.
For instance do you use your hands a lot in your work? Do you deal
with machinery, chemicals or other substances that may damage the ring?
3.What do you
do for recreation and Leisure? Do you tend to do sports or anything
else that makes it unsafe to wear your wedding ring?
4.Choose a ring
that will withstand daily wear for a long time.
5.Also think
about your personality. Are you a laid back kind of guy who doesn't
like to attract too much attention? Then the classic gold band maybe
what you are looking for. Are you a bold and out going type of
person? They do so many interesting designs for men's
wedding rings these days. Are you somewhere in between? Not
wanting too much attention to your self but still wanting an
interesting ring? You can find the right ring to suit your personality.
6.Also think
about your culture or religious background as these may or may not
have a bearing on what ring you choose.
7.A very
important point is the comfort of the ring. The fitting should be
just right. It should slip over the knuckles without too much effort
but at the same time not be too loose that you risk losing it. Have a
jeweler measure your finger
to know your correct ring size. They also sell sing sizers that you
can buy and do it yourself. Don't worry if you end up with one that's
a little too wide, most jewelers can resize your ring
for you after the wedding.
Very wide
wedding bands are less comfortable to wear. The most common width for
men is 6 or 7mm. for most people a ring with rounded edges is more
comfortable than one with flat edges.
What about
Bridesmaids, mother of the bride or mother of the groom and the rest
of the bridal entourage? Do you want your bridesmaids to wear
matching jewelry? Do you want to give them a little thank you for all
their support? Diamonds
make lovely gifts, you can't go wrong.
