Choose wedding rings carefully — you'll be wearing them for the rest of your life.

Wedding rings symbolize three things: your personality, your commitment, and your fashion style. Choose a wedding ring that will express an enduring, unequivocal love and exert a unique personality for both the groom and the bride.

Choosing your wedding ring can be a very exciting time in your life. Your wedding ring will be a symbol of your love that you will wear for a very long time, so it's important that you put some thought into selecting the best type of wedding ring for you.

Your wedding ring is a symbol of your love and commitment, and a major part of your marriage ceremony! While some couples are opting for less traditional symbols of their marriage vows, such as tattoos or other types of jewelry, most brides are still interested in using rings in the ceremony.

A wedding ring is something that you will be wearing every day for the rest of your life, so it’s important to take the time to choose one that will stand the test of time and will be comfortable on your finger.

A great way to express your commitment is to buy a wedding ring set, where the groom’s and the bride’s rings match. However, there’s no rule to choosing wedding rings, so make sure that you get something that suits your tastes. That could mean finding something unusual or antique, or even designing your own.

Wedding rings are highly symbolic pieces of jewelery, and it is likely you will want to wear your ring all the time, and for many years, so it is important to select the style and design of the ring very carefully. The first thing you need to do is get your ring finger measured by a professional jeweler, to ensure that you can ask for the correct size to try on when you are out shopping.

Next you will need to think about the type of metal that will be suitable for your budget and lifestyle. The most popular precious metals are platinum, white gold and yellow gold. Platinum is the most expensive of these options, but it is also the most durable, so if you do a lot of manual work you may want to consider spending a little more on this stronger metal. If you like the look of platinum but cannot afford it then white gold or palladium can resemble platinum's ultra modern look.

Yellow gold is the most traditional metal for wedding rings, and remember that the carat designates the purity of the gold. The higher the carat the more gold it contains, but also the softer the ring will be, and less suitable for the rigors of an active life. Jewelers often recommend 18ct, which is thought to be a good compromise between luxury and practicality.

When choosing the design of your wedding ring, think about your own personal style. If you are a bold, daring person then there are lots of modern, exciting designs now available. If you are creative, you may want to sketch out a design of your own and then get it custom made. It is still traditional to have matching rings, but you can add your own twists to the design, for example both wedding rings could be the same metal and pattern, but the bride could have the addition of some diamonds or another precious stone.
