Wedding rings types

Wedding rings are the ultimate symbol of marriage, but just a piece of jewelry. Wedding rings are purchased for both the bride and the groom, even if the groom insists he doesn't need to wear one to show his commitment.

Exchanging wedding rings is an important part of the ceremony. They are often matched to the engagement ring, so you might want to choose a complete set.

Gold

Gold is still the standard for wedding rings, and is instantly recognizable as a wedding band. However, white gold is an excellent alternative. An advantage of white gold is that is typically retains the better qualities of yellow gold, like low risks of skin irritation, and is often mistaken for the more expensive platinum.

Platinum

Platinum is frequently chose because it is more rare and durable than gold. Platinum is an elegant metal, which is very popular these days because of its white, shiny look and durability. Platinum is actually more precious than gold and can cost up to twice as much.

Titanium

Titanium wedding bands are unique in that it is one of the strongest metals. Yet, they are very light in weight. It is almost impossible to damage it. Titanium is a non-allergenic material, with none of the skin rashes that can occur with some white metals like nickel or nickel alloys.

Diamonds

Diamond wedding rings can go well with gold, silver, and platinum bands. Diamond engagement rings thus symbolize love and eternity, which explains their popularity with men and women alike.
