Wedding Rings

A wedding ring is typically a metal band set with diamonds and other precious stones. It symbolises matrimony and commitment to one’s spouse. It is worn in some countries on the left ring finger and in others on the right ring finger. Wedding rings are made mainly out of a yellow gold-alloy, strengthened with tin, bismuth or copper. White gold and platinum are also components that are used for a wedding ring, and more recently titanium has also become popular.

People most often choose a simple gold-alloy band as their wedding ring as it is easy to keep clean, and lasts long. These rings are usually made in pairs, a narrow one for the wife and a broader one for the husband. In some customs, the wife wears both the engagement and the wedding rings together on the ring finger. Sometimes, the spouse’s name or the wedding date is engraved on the rings for an extra-special touch, bringing about a sentimental value to the ring.

There are many designs and styles of wedding rings that are widely used today. Some of the more exclusive fashions are two-tone interlocking rings, made of one strand of gold and one strand of platinum or titanium; a simple gold band with onyx mixtures running around it; a scroll kind of wedding band encrusted with diamonds; and a platinum band sporting round, pear-shaped or marquise coloured stones. The more work that goes into the designing of the ring, the more they become expensive rings.

Wedding rings are generally not as costly as the expensive rings given at engagements. They are preferred by most people to be simple and chic. The simple gold-band rings would cost you anywhere from £59 to £195. If one goes for a more stylish platinum or titanium ring with diamonds or other stones encrusted, they would cost about £295 to £400.
