You find your soulmate, and they say, “Yes!” The next logical step is choosing the engagement and wedding rings you’ll both wear for the rest of your lives. For many couples, buying the rings is something they look forward to and turn it into a celebration. Others agonize over the process and can’t decide between a traditional ring and one allows them to make a statement. If the latter defines where you are at the moment, turn ring shopping into a fun event. Make it as fun as dress shopping and planning your honeymoon. Before you begin looking for wedding rings in Atlanta, consider these tips for choosing a ring to match your style.
Rings on a Budget
Every engaged couple has a budget. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve opted for a small intimate celebration or you’re planning a lavish ceremony followed by a black-tie bash; you’ll need a budget. Make sure you include the rings in your budget. There’s an outdated rule about buying wedding rings. It started with the marketing campaign of a well-known diamond retailer. This company compared the value of the relationship to what was spent on the rings. They came up with the rule of spending 2-3 months’ salary on the engagement ring alone. Today, couples should feel comfortable spending what they can afford without incurring extra debt. You’ll find a wide variety of wedding rings that fit your style and your budget.
Go with a Set
All it takes is one walk through a fine jewelry store, and you’re smitten – the glitz and the shimmer of diamonds and colored gemstones set in precious metal. No wonder so many couples feel overwhelmed. Make the choice easier and select a wedding set. The set could include the engagement ring or rings if you’re both planning to wear engagement jewelry. Most sets, however, include two matching wedding bands. You could choose the bands based on the style of the engagement ring. Pair a solitaire with glitzy band laden with diamonds. A plain band with its classic look is also a popular choice to go with a solitaire. What’s fun about wedding sets is you get to match! Read on for more about matching rings.
The Perfect Match
The tradition of matching wedding bands goes back a long way. It symbolizes two individuals becoming one through marriage. There’s nothing wrong with traditions, but it’s okay if you prefer to go with non-traditional wedding rings. Choose your ring, and let your partner choose theirs! That way, each of you can select a ring based on your taste, not your partner’s. Pick a ring to fit your unique style and personality. Besides, the ring that looks fantastic on your hand might not fit your partner at all.
What’s Your Style?
When you fall in love with a ring, there’s one more thing to consider before you slip it on your finger and take it home. Lifestyle! How does the ring fit your lifestyle? Lifestyle includes your profession and what you do for fun. You might love the drama and dazzle of a large center stone, but a simple band with subtle sparkle makes more sense for your job. Your lifestyle might mean buying a low-profile ring in a scratch-resistant metal setting. You’ll discover an array of wedding bands in Atlanta that fit your style perfectly!
