- Lifestyle
A question many people find themselves asking is whether they want something with diamonds, or something more minimalistic. We recommend trying on both styles and keeping an open mind. You’ll want to put your lifestyle and occupation into consideration.
If you are very active, work with your hands, or travel a lot, you may want a low maintenance band that you can wear all of the time without having to fuss about cleaning or fear losing your ring. Something simple, without diamonds, can be both timeless and practical.
- Metal Type
Many metal options are available to choose from with yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum being the most popular. If you want your bands to look like they go together but don’t specifically match, choosing the same metal is an easy way to accomplish that. Otherwise, both people can choose the metal they like the most.
- Style
From including gemstones, textural techniques or engraving, the sky's the limit for wedding bands. Depending on the choices that each person makes, there are ways to incorporate stylistic choices that create symbolic connections between the rings without outright matching. For example, this could be a matching gemstone or fingerprint engraving - details that can hold a lot of meaning.
- Ring Size
Knowing your ring size will save you many potential headaches down the road. Eternity bands or rings with a design that goes all the way around are typically not resizable. And any engravings should be discussed with a professional jeweler to make sure they’re safe in the case of a necessary resizing.
