Wedding Rings - Top 10 Tips
Marriage and wedding planning is stressful enough. Let picking your wedding bands be a fun activity for the both of you. Below you’ll find the top ten tips on buying wedding rings that we’ve collected from jewelry shopping brides and grooms over the years.
Tip #10: “Definitely make sure you know how much you want to spend before stepping into a jewelry store. Those salesmen can be convincing and pushy!”
Tip #9: “I loved looking through magazines with my fiancé before shopping. It helped us get an idea of the rings we wanted and made it easier for us to shop together once we hit the stores.”
Tip #8: “Don’t feel like you need to shop for wedding rings as a couple. My husband and I are super busy and have really different taste so when we were shopping for rings, we agreed to find buy them our own time. He bought his online and I had mine custom made. “
Tip #7: “Talk to your fiancé about your wedding rings early on. My fiancé and I ran into problems last minute when I found out that he didn’t want a wedding ring and I got offended. We eventually worked through it, but it would have been nice to have that conversation a few months earlier!”
Tip #6: “Ladies, if you want to wear your engagement ring with your wedding band, consider buying a set or having your wedding ring made to fit with your engagement ring. I ended up returning the first wedding ring I bought because it sat uncomfortably under my engagement ring and pinched my finger skin. That was a real pain!”
Tip #5: “Be open-minded. My fiancé and saw friends of ours shop for matching rings and have a really hard time reaching a compromise. We decided that it wasn’t so important for us to have the exact same ring as long as it had the same meaning for both of us.”
Tip #4: “Do some research at home before you make your purchase. Know about the jeweler you are buying from, be clear about their return policies and repair policies, and read up on precious metal/jewelry pricing. You don’t want to get ripped off.”
Tip #3: “ If you’re looking at diamond wedding rings, read up on the 4cs and diamond certificates first! Don’t be scammed into buying a diamond ring that isn’t worth the money.”
Tip #2: “Keep in mind that this ring is forever. It can be fun to get all creative with your design, but sometimes, in the end of things, you just want something simple and timeless.”
Tip #1: “Enjoy yourself!”
