Make a budget Going to a jewelry store, remember that the purchase of wedding rings should allocate no more than 3% of the total wedding budget. The average price of a beautiful gold ring bell is $ 150. Price of platinum rings in the middle reaches $ 600 - $ 700. Diamond rings are much more expensive. Decide the shape and function of the ring It is not wise to choose a ring only on the basis of their appearance - is the same as choosing the groom, not with him and exchanged a few words (though he looks like Brad Pitt as two drops of water - can still be a complete idiot). A wedding ring should match your lifestyle: athletes, or a lover of music should pay attention to the delicate ring with rounded edges, rather than on broad massive ring. If you have a lot of work with your hands, choose a simple, solid ring without stones, because the stone may fall out, and engraved gets dirty. For some people, is allergic to certain alloys, so you can spend on engagement rings in platinum, because this metal usually does not cause irritation. Quality Inside the wedding ring should be two symbols: the first - the stamp of the manufacturer (proving the authenticity of the ring), and the second - a sign of quality (eg, 24K or PLAT, proving the quality of the goods). If the ring is made of an alloy of two or more metal, check for signs of quality for each metal. Define your style You buy a ring for a lifetime (at least for a long time), so it must be the most beautiful. Choose a ring, which with the same success can be worn with both jeans and a suit from Armani. Try not to deviate from the basic form and simple, avoid unusual stones that go out of fashion in a week. Do not be afraid to mix metals - today it is very popular - if every day wear ornaments of gold and silver. A wedding ring should be beautiful, comfortable and will serve you .... you know how many years. Remember that you are not getting married for the ring. If you would like a model you can not afford, buy what you can afford (for example, a ring of white gold), which in the future (for example, one of the anniversaries, weddings) can decorate a diamond. Be original If you found your other half, it does not mean that your ring must exactly match the groom's ring. Do not hesitate to choose a ring that reflects your personality and lifestyle. However, a certain harmony between the rings, the groom and the bride still must be - for example, they can be made of one metal or have the same inscription. Do not mistake with the size Never choose the size of a wedding ring in the morning (in the body still remained after the water last night, so fingers are slightly swollen), after sports (swollen fingers) during menstruation (for the same reason) or too hot or cold weather. "The last fitting" rings to hold when you are calm and your body temperature normal.
