How to Find the Best Womens Wedding Rings

Before you start looking for women's wedding rings, you need to determine what type of ring you want.  You need to consider the type of diamond you and the type of material you want the band to be made out of. Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect women's and men's wedding rings.

1. Type of material: Do you want white gold or yellow gold? Palladium or platinum? The type of material you choose for the band will limit your options as far as the setting goes. If you are going with a thin, jewel inlaid band, you will need a stronger metal to support the diamond.  If you are just choosing a solid band, then regular gold will be fine. This goes for both women's and men's wedding rings.

2. Type of Gem: How big a gem do you want? What is the quality of gem you are intereImage by Getty Images via @daylifested in? Quality and size have a big impact on the setting you choose. A gem with cloudy spots may not work well with an open setting. For this type of gem, you want to choose a setting that will conceal and defects in the diamond.

3. Setting: The setting determines how big of a gem you can accommodate (or must use). A large setting will require a large diamond to just look proportional while a small setting may be incapable of supporting a large gem.
When shopping for women's or men's wedding rings, make sure you keep these three principals in the back of your mind at all times.

Gold Wedding Rings – A Classic

When you think about a marriage what comes to mind? The image of two gold wedding rings being exchanged is probably the first thing you think of. This idea of the gold ring has been a symbol for marriage for hundreds of years. Now a days, with that large selections of gold, the old yellow wedding rings are beginning to look a little bland.  If you want a gold wedding ring you now choose from the following types of gold.

1.    White gold – this gold looks similar to silver but can have a very polished look. White gold is actually an alloy of pure gold mixed with one white metal such as nickel, manganese or palladium. Just like yellow gold, it’s purity is measured in carats.

2.    Rose gold – This is a mix of copper, yellow gold and silver to give it the light pink color.Image by apdk via Flickr

3.    Yellow gold – Yellow gold is true gold, since all gold is yellow in color. Yellow gold is measured in carats just like the other forms of gold are.

So now that you know what your options are, do you still want to stick with the traditional yellow gold wedding rings?

Personally, I like the look of white gold. I think it is an elegant look that will not go out of style anytime soon. It also looks very sharp with a brilliant cut diamond. Whatever you may choose, I hope I have helped you pick out the perfect wedding rings.

Tip 1: When your girlfriend brings up engagement or marriage, ask subtle probing questions.  This may sound easy but it’s actually quite tricky if you want her to not catch on. If she’s talking about a mutual friend, try to ask her what she thinks about the girls ring. Also, try to ask her what her idea of the perfect wedding would be, because chances are, she will also mention the ring.

If you want to make it a surprise, the best way to go about it is by using investigative techniques like the ones above.  Once you have a good idea of what she likes, you can easily find men’s wedding rings to match.
