Since the wedding ceremony is nigh, you have to take certain decisions in a short period of time. Either you opted for a religious marriage ceremony or a civil ceremony; wedding rings will definitely create a bond between you and your partner. There are some simple but useful tips that concern your wedding rings that will make your decision easier.
1. Confine your options
Your wedding rings are one of the few jewels-if not the only one-that you and your partner will have in common and you will wear them every day, so you need to make some preparatory choices before you visit a Jewelry shop. What metal color are you interested in yellow or white? Are you interested in something simple in line or you prefer something more peculiar? You should consider these questions about what you are looking for before you make any decisions.
2. Start your research early
When you have a certain idea about what you are looking for, start visiting jewelry shops. Give yourself at least 2 months to search for, learn about prices and visit again the Jewelry shop to check again the wedding rings that you liked. Do not forget that there are some certain processes that demand more time, in cases where you have opted for something more complicated or a custom made order. Especially on holidays, an order may demand even more time.
3. You are different
Don’t get disappointed in case you like white gold but you partner prefers yellow gold. There is no certain rule where you are obliged to choose similar wedding rings as far as the metals are concerned or even the style of the rings. Choose those wedding rings that reflect both your personal style and your preferences. However, you could find at least one element that would be common.
4. Set your badget
A classic wedding ring in 14k gold could cost from about 165€, while a wedding ring in 18k gold can cost 220€ minimum. Also have in mind that diamonds can greatly increase the cost. Generally, it should be made clear that cost can significantly vary according to customers’ preferences.
5. Make a practical choice
Keep in mind your way of living every single moment during the process of choosing your wedding rings. There is no reason to buy something simply because it is pretty but eventually it makes you feel uncomfortable and you end up in removing it all the time (plus the chances to lose it are increased). The point is to choose something that is going to part of your life effortlessly. If you do a manual labor, search for an improved ring simple in line without many adornments.
6. Think long-term
Do not be afraid to choose a fashionable design, but make sure that the style you chose will be appropriate and preferable to wear even 20 years later. Most of people hardly ever take their wedding rings off! They wear them during summer, winter, during activities, pregnancy. Pay special attention in times when your finger may become swollen due to high or low temperatures, fluid retention or weight velocity. In order to find the right size that fits best, you have to be absolutely relaxed and keep your body temperature at normal rates. Do not establish your finger size in the morning (fluid retention from the previous night), after a workout (your fingers are usually swollen) or when you feel greatly warm or cold.
7. Check the quality
This is a fact that concerns every ring as well as the wedding rings. Make sure that there are two specific signs inside your ring’s surface, namely the constructor stamp and the number that symbolizes the carats of the metal. Where there is the number 585 engraved inside a ring it means that the ring is crafted in 14k gold while 750 refers to rings crafted in 18k gold. It is extremely important that your wedding rings can be altered, processed and fixed in any time you need. It would be useful to know that wedding rings designs that are not so easily processed demand more time.

9. Protect your wedding rings
It should be noted at this point that metals are in generally sensitive materials. Especially, gold which although it does not get oxidized, it is vulnerable towards daily damage. Avoid wearing your wedding rings when you are doing hard work or athletic activities (that could harm your rings), or even activities that involves chlorine, cleaning products that consists of chemicals or disinfectants used in swimming pools. Scratches are more visible in rings with matte and generally peculiar surfaces. Classic wedding rings designs show greater durability. Luckily, a jewelry specialist is able to process your gold wedding rings and recreate its initial unique beauty.
10. Keep it safe
You will be surprised (or a little bit scared) to see how easy it is to lose your ring. It would be better to choose something that you will barely take off of your finger. However, when you have to take off your ring, you should put it in a safe place in order to know where it is exactly and never near a sink. The most risky time to take off your ring is when you are not at home. This is when the chances to lose it-or forget it somewhere-are increased.
