Wedding bands are a symbol of love, companionship, faithfulness, and feeling of togetherness at all the times. The bands are important part of the occasion. It is exchanged between the bride and groom during this auspicious occasion infront of the priest. But, this is not to be confused with the engagement ring. The wedding ceremony is incomplete without the band.
In general, the engagement rings are very expensive and studded with some clusters or diamonds while, the wedding band is very simple and plain solid ring of any pure metal. Many times, the couple choose the band that suits the engagement ring. In many places, women are supposed to wear these ring and band forever.
Usually, the metals used most popularly in the wedding band are platinum, gold and white gold. There are many other metals used for making the band. Due to the silver-white lustre and scarcity, the platinum is the favourite of most. It is very costly too.
When it comes to speaking on affordability of the wedding band, yellow gold is the most popular one. If the couple is looking for the look of platinum in their small budget then they can go for white gold. Men prefer titanium metal because of its durability and its gunmetal grey color. Silver nickel is the least costly metal.
Some of the unique ways of making the wedding band very special is engraving the couples name or date of the occasion on the band. Another style is creating a single ring out of three interwoven rings of different metals. The three rings have their own significance of love, faith and hope.
Previously, men were supposed to choose from gold, silver and diamond only. Men had very limited choice of choosing their own wedding band. This is because, traditionally men are used to wearing the bands that are either similar or set designed to match their partner’s ring.
Now the time is changing and men are getting the option of choosing their favourite bands. Popularly used men’s wedding bands are of titanium, tungsten or platinum. The rings can have any color. As everyone is aware of the fact that platinum is the costly metal, men prefer to use tungsten or titanium. They are affordable to purchase and stylish in look too.
Men who are facing the problem of these eccentric options claim that many of these wedding rings do not carry adequate manliness. Traditionally, they were made of limited metal options. The rings of titanium and tungsten are of more popular these days. Many engaged men suggest their friends these non-traditional wedding bands for the occasion of meeting their soul mates.
If you have fewer budgets, then instead of going to 22-carat gold you can choose 14-carat gold ring. With tight fund, do not opt for style and engraving. Look for plain and thin rings. If you do not like plain ring, use semi-costly gemstones. More importantly, check for the shop that charges you reasonable making charges.
i think that platinum is the best way to go but if your budget doesn't allow it then Tungsen is a better choice.
