Common mistakes when selecting wedding rings

Here are some common mistakes brides and grooms make when ordering wedding bands:

Not allowing enough time to order your ring

Since many wedding rings are custom made, many manufacturers require anywhere from four to six weeks to deliver your ring.

Inaccurate finger size

If you don't have an experienced jeweler size your finger, you risk ordering a wedding ring that is too small or too large. If you're ordering a wider ring, it's important that your finger be sized using a wide sizer. In a narrower ring, your finger should be sized using a narrow size.



Not understanding finishes and metals


Jewlers offer many different grades of metals for custom wedding rings: 14K Gold, 18K Gold, Titanium, Platinum and Palladium. Many of these metals offer greater durability and will last longer. Be sure that your jeweler explains to you the various methods of manufacturing wedding bands.



Matching engagement rings

Many engagement rings are designed to standalone. When you try to put a wedding band next to it...they just don't compliment each other. Many people will choose an elaborate wedding band to wear on their left hand after they are married and transfer their engagement ring to their right hand. .
