subject: Wedding Bands You Choose Can Be As Unique As Your Love [print this page] You knew she was the one for you the moment you laid eyes on her: she lit up the room and she lit up your soul at the same time. Now it's time to ask that all-important question, which means it's time to start looking at wedding rings. The last thing you want to do is give her a band that looks like everyone else's because there's no one else like her and no relationship quite like yours. Honor your commitment to each other by choosing weddings bands that are as unique as your love: here are some of your options.
Gold Wedding Rings
Gold is the most traditional metal for wedding bands, and it has been for hundreds of years. 50 years ago, these bands all looked pretty much the same: they were yellow gold and came in various weights. Today's options are practically limitless: you can choose from different colors of gold such as white, rose, and even green. If this is a second marriage and your sweetheart doesn't want to have a stone in her wedding band, you can give her a flat band which is all the rage. For stand-alone wedding bands, nothing is more striking and unique than one that is a full 12 mm from top to bottom.
Platinum Wedding rings
This white metal has been a white-hot choice for wedding bands for several decades. A ring made from this material is purer than a gold one (most platinum rings are 95% pure) and it is a good choice for people who like their rings to feel heavier and more substantial. Although platinum rings cost twice as much as their gold counterparts, they do last longer and retain their color better. A unique look would be one that combines both metals, either in a twist or in bands.
Tungsten Wedding Rings
Like titanium, tungsten is considered one of the "modern" metals for creating wedding bands. Tungsten wedding bands look a lot like silver but they do not tarnish or scratch. They retain their color forever and will never become distorted and bent out of shape. The styles of tungsten wedding bands are some of the most unique on the market; they can come in a variety of styles: classic dome, polished concave, square-cut faceted, flat pipe, and with either brushed or shiny finishes. Their beautiful color makes tungsten wedding bands ideal for both men and women's looks.
Because your love is unique and your rings are a physical representation of that love ad commitment, take the time to research different metals and styles of wedding bands together before making that all-important selection.
