Tips When Buying Your Wedding Bands

Wedding bands are important symbolism's of your unending love for each other. They are visible reminders of your sweet vows. Because they are for keeps, you need to give as much attention when choosing them as when you are choosing your wedding gown or your wedding reception. Here are tips to help you in the task.
Set your Budget
Rings vary in price. The first thing to do before you shop around is to set your budget. Generally, they should comprise 3% of your wedding budget. You can go below or beyond the amount depending on your personal choice and the availability of your funds.
Decide on the Style
The choices for the wedding rings are countless. To trim down your options, you need to decide on the style you want. Do you want a single or two tone wedding rings, silver, gold or platinum material, simple designs or embedded with precious gems? Because you will have them for the rest of your life, make sure they are not only representations of your marriage but of your personal style as well.
Research about the Grading

Although your jewelry store can provide you with the data, it is still important to understand the criteria very well. The persuasive sales talk of the seller can easily mislead you if you are not armed with the correct information. For example, two tone wedding rings vary in price depending on the quality of gold or platinum used. Read and be informed before you go shopping.
Always keep in mind that the wedding bands are parts of your early investment as a couple. Include your partner when choosing the right pair. They should represent not only your love for each other but your commitment to work ‘together” for the rest of your life.

Two Rings in One – Many Couples Are Opting For Two Tone Wedding Rings

The popularity of two tone wedding rings among newlyweds is rising. A two tone ring allows couples to create new and unique designs that they can have a part in making. If the two of you have your own unique style, then you know how difficult it can be to find something in a store that matches that style perfectly. Your wedding rings are something that you will wear a lifetime, and their style should reflect more than what was popular at the time you were married, it should reflect on the style the two of you have as a couple.
One of the best things about two tone weddings is the ability to combine your favorite metals. Many couples want matching wedding rings, but disagree on which metal would be best. If you find that you and your sweetie cannot come to an agreement on a single metal for your rings, a two tone ring set could provide the solution you need. Not only can you design the rings yourself, but it will also serve as good practice in the art of compromise, a skill every marriage partner needs to master at some point.
When creating your two tone wedding rings do not be afraid to experiment. Your rings can have the metals you choose, regardless of what others say. While you are at it, you may want to consider having the rings engraved. You are already going to be personalizing your rings, why not go the whole nine yards, and finish it off by engraving something that is important and unique to your relationship.
