Let's choose a wedding ring

^ I see, thanks for describing. I like white gold. Pretty much my entire life, I never cared for the look of gold, I always liked silver OR white gold.

My second engagement ring is white gold. :-) One eternity band is sterling silver, and the other eternity band is stainless steel. lol


No one would know they weren't ALL white gold unless I told them. Like I'm telling now. lol

There aren't any "basic rules" about wedding rings that I'm aware of. If one is looking to propose to their girl then they might want to know ring size first of all and if they don't know it, try to get her finger measured somehow. Either way, most rings can be resized, however some cannot be. Just make sure a ring can be resized and what the fee would be if this needs to be done. The type of material may be more dependent on her preferences, especially if she has any metal allergies like to nickel or silver. I never felt it was important to have similar looking rings for the bride and groom, but that's a personal choice. Most of this is your own personal preferences. Some of these decisions you can make as a couple if you feel comfortable. I know some people want it to be a big surprise, too, but try to figure out what stones she likes or what she thinks of wedding rings if you can and that should help you out.

I remember my husband got me a ring, it was a little loose since I didn't wear jewelry and he had a rough time determining my size. In the end, we both went into the jewelry store together, had my finger measured, looked at a few in person and then online. I found one online that I liked that I felt was a reasonable price as we never believed in going into debt for a wedding ring. I chose one ring as both an engagement and wedding ring, but some people like to have an engagement band and then the wedding ring as two separate rings that go together - it's a pretty neat thing, but not mandatory. Years later, I still wear the ring we ordered and if I get pregnant or something and gain weight or fingers swell a little, I'll switch to the one he originally gave me because it's sometimes a better fit. My husband chose his own ring as well and it looked totally different than mine, but I think his ring suited him well. We never spend more than $100 on the both of our rings that had at our wedding ceremony. Since we don't usually wear a lot of jewelry, I suppose the wedding ring was never a HUGE part of it for us. I would've married my husband even without the ring.

Although, these days I've been finding myself looking at silicon rings for more of an active wear and wondering if those are any good :P some of them look pretty neat.
