Cheap Wedding Rings – 10 Essential Rules to the Making Sure You Find the Perfect Ring

November 20, 2012

Here are 10 great rules to help you find, afford and care for those cheap wedding rings you will be wearing for countless anniversaries to come.

Invest time in choosing

As this will probably be the only piece of jewellery that you will both shop for and wear forever, you need to make some preliminary decisions.  Browse through magazines and look online, to give you ideas. Decide which colour metal you prefer – yellow or white.  A simple wedding ring or something more eye catching, such as bands with diamonds? Don’t despair if you both choose different metals, why not have a mixture of both? If that doesn’t appeal – there is no rule to say that your wedding rings have to match.

Set a budget

From simple cheap wedding rings to bands covered in diamonds, there is something to suit your budget. If your local jewellers are too expensive the look online for cheap wedding rings. With no overhead costs, online retailers are cheaper, but cheaper doesn’t automatically mean that the quality is any less.

Start looking for your wedding rings early

Two months before your wedding is a good time, or sooner if you are considering bespoke rings.

Choose rings to suit your lifestyle

Think practically if you have a manual job or play contact sports – a wedding ring with rounded edges and no stones is less likely to get caught, cause injury or get damaged. Are you allergic to certain metal alloys? Cheap platinum wedding rings will prove hypoallergenic for most people.

Think Ahead

Do dare to be different, but think ahead – will you still love wearing your wedding rings in 20 years’ time?

Size does matter!

Choose your wedding rings when you are calm and cool.  Swollen fingers will result in the wrong ring size and it dropping off in winter or causing pain in summer.

Quality

Cheap wedding rings do not necessary have an inferior quality to ones ten times the price tag but always look at the guarantee that the company provides.

Cleaning your cheap wedding rings

For a simple ring with no stones, rub with a soft lint free cloth. For rings with diamonds always follow the cleaning instructions that are recommended by the supplier.

Protect your wedding bands

All metals, even platinum are vulnerable to scratches and in the real world your wedding rings will never remain completely blemish-free, so avoid wearing them if you intend to do rough work or sports.

  1. 10.   Keep your  rings safe

If you have to remove your wedding ring, always put it in a designated safe place – especially whilst on holiday or away from home.  On the shelf above the toilet or on the sink edge are a definite ‘no, no’ – rings will never jump into inaccessible orifices by themselves, but that nosey cat or that wayward elbow, will surely help your wedding ring on its way.
