Choosing the right wedding bands is an indispensable part of your wedding’s to-do
list. Hence, you need to spend plenty of time to get your bands organised. From
diamond rings to coloured gemstones, there are plenty of options available for wedding rings. However, before choosing
the ring style or design, one of the important considerations is to choose the
right metal for the band.
Here are some tips to help you choose the
right metal for your wedding band.
Set
aside a budget
Consider
the metal for your engagement ring
The metal of your engagement ring may help
you decide the metal of your wedding band. People who choose platinum for their
engagement ring should choose the same metal for their wedding ring. It is better to avoid pairing platinum with gold as platinum can
cause marks and dents on gold. Alternatively, some people like to choose
contrasting coloured metal for engagement and wedding rings. For example, if the engagement ring is made of 18ct white gold, 18ct rose gold is a
perfect contrasting metal for the wedding ring.
Platinum vs. gold
Whether you select platinum or gold is a personal
choice. Since ages, platinum is a superior choice for wedding rings as it is
used in almost its pure form and extremely hardwearing. On the other hand, if
you choose 18ct white gold, it is almost 75% pure compared to the 95% purity of
platinum. Unlike white gold, platinum does not need
regular maintenance of rhodium plating for its white appearance.
However, since platinum is more prone to scratches than gold, it needs regular
maintenance.
