Almost
all brides wear a wedding ring. Double ring ceremonies are also
very popular. The choice of styles for wedding rings is virtually
limitless. You may want to shop several jewelers before making
your final decision, so start looking at least three to six months
before your wedding date.
If
the bride is wearing an engagement ring, the selection of wedding
rings must center around that ring. She may know exactly what
she wants. There may be a ready match available, or it may be
necessary to try on dozens of rings to find the one that is most
suitable. In some instances, the bride's wedding ring may have
to be custom made. This is where a reliable jeweler is essential.
Doubtless he will have many suggestions. Let his years of experience
and trained eye guide you in your choice.

Where
the groom is also going to wear a wedding ring, many couples think
in terms of a matched set. This may again entail a lengthy search
to find the set which pleases both of you, so be careful not to
fix on the word "matched." If the bride's wedding ring
is to complement her engagement ring, there may not be a manly
match for the groom. He will
have to find his own style, which pleases him and suits his hand.
At
present rings in yellow gold are the most popular. But they are
also available in white gold, two-tone yellow and white, in 10k,
14k, 18k, or platinum; traditional or modem, with diamonds or
colored stones, engraved or bright polished. Thick or thin, wide
or narrow, the choice is yours.
One
last pointer. For comfort and safe keeping, make sure you get
the correct fit. Day in, day out, year after loving year, no other
piece of apparel can compete with the hours you wear your wedding
ring.
