Follow Tradition Using Classic Wedding Rings

There are so many wedding ring styles on the market today, it’s easy to get lost — as well as maybe a little confused, and possibly disoriented — trying to figure out what to get. But if you would like to say “I do” the tried and true traditional way, choosing a classic wedding ring is a much simpler process.The most traditional classic wedding rings are basically plain gold wedding bands. Face it: When you see a plain gold wedding band, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Marriage, of course!After gold, the next most popular choice is platinum. Beyond that, you’re looking at alternative metals such as tungsten carbide, titanium, stainless steel, etc. All of these metals can be crafted to look just like a plain gold wedding ring, with the only really obvious difference being the metal’s color. (Keep in mind that each type of metal has its own set of unique properties, but that’s another topic for another time…)When choosing plain wedding rings, there are only a few factors to consider. The first is what type of metal. Traditional wedding bands typically are 14kt yellow or white gold, but 18kt yellow or white gold is available too, as well as platinum, tungsten carbide, titanium, stainless steel…The second consideration is the style. The most basic plain gold wedding rings are completely flat. This style is sometimes referred to as a pipe cut plain wedding ring. The most popular wedding ring style, however, is not flat but rather domed. So if you’re looking for a very traditional wedding ring, get a 14kt gold domed ring. Other styles for plain gold band rings include beveled rings, milgrain rings and knife edge rings. Each of these styles offer a subtle yet popular design accent that rank high among the most popular wedding ring styles for plain gold rings.Last but not least is the width of the ring. Ladies typically want a thinner ring. Our thinnest ring is 2mm. Men typically prefer wider rings, and the common width of the most popular wedding rings for men is 8mm. Our widest ring is 10mm (or, sometimes 12mm).Now that I’ve gone over the three step process of choosing a plain white gold wedding band or plain yellow gold wedding bands, there is one last piece of advice I want to leave with you.Consider purchasing your plain yellow gold or plain white gold wedding bands as a set. By purchasing classic wedding ring sets, you can often get a discount, and it also helps to take care of your wedding ring worries in one fell swoop.
