Things To Consider Prior To Buying Diamond Wedding Bands
In buying jewellery, certain buying basics generally apply. But when buying for wedding bands, another set of buying tips generally apply. Below are some tips on how to find the right diamond wedding bands that you and your partner can wear for countless anniversaries to come.
Narrow Down Your Choices
Diamond wedding bands are starting to gain its popularity today as more couples are choosing to use these types of bands. It is important then that you make some initial decisions before you finally buy a pair. Flip through magazines or browse thru the Internet to find specific designs so that you will not end up having a similar one with another couple. Also, identify the colour of metal you will be considering. Is it yellow? Or white?
Set your Budget
Diamond wedding bands are normally expensive. The Diamond Information Centre says that these types of wedding bands normally average about $750 a pair. That is still excluding the engraving of the wedding band that cost from a dollar to eight dollars per character. Be sure that you have the right budget for your wedding band.
Start Looking Early
If possible, start looking for possible options of diamond wedding bands about two months prior to your big day. This will give you enough time to search and compare one wedding band from the other. This is a very important process so make sure not to skip this one. If you are much interested with custom diamond wedding bands, allow more time in finding one since engraving normally takes about almost a month.
Be Practical
Your personal lifestyle should always come into your mind. You don't need a fancy wedding band if you aren't comfortable using it, do you? Keep in mind that diamond wedding bands are meant to be worn daily. The best idea is having a wedding band that becomes a seamless part of your daily routine.
Careful about the Ring Sizes
Most people never take their wedding bands off. They always wear them during exercise, summers, pregnancies, and all other instances when the fingers contract or swell because of cold, heat, weight gain, and water retention. To find the right finger size, make sure to do your final fitting when you are relaxed and you have a normal body temperature. Avoid finalizing your ring size early in the morning since the body normally retain salt from the night before, or after having strenuous exercises since fingers normally swell after doing such activities.
Check for the Quality
Whether you prefer diamond wedding bands, or just those simple wedding rings with embellished gemstones, make sure you can see two distinctive marks on the inside of the ring which include the trademark of the manufacturer and the quality mark. If the wedding band is composed of more than two metals, each should have the quality mark on it.
Your diamond wedding band is your lifetime investment. Make sure you purchase the right one that can last for years.
