Ages
back leather strings or twigs of plants were used to make wedding rings. Slowly
gradually it was replaced by metals such as iron and silver. For a very long
time yellow gold was used to make wedding rings.
With
the change in fashion and taste of people, new age metals such as platinum and
titanium started cropping up to replace traditional metals. But not everyone
can afford these new age metals as they come at a cost because of their rarity.
For
those who are not really fond of yellow gold and can’t afford platinum, white
gold wedding rings are the most feasible option. The white variant of the metal
has the strength and durability of gold and the sheen and shine of platinum.
If
you think that white gold is naturally available in that shade then it is not
true at all. It is an alloy (mixture) of gold and a white metal. The white
metal could be nickel, manganese, palladium, copper, silver and zinc. The most
common ratio to make this metal is 90% gold and 10 % other white metal.
If
you are looking for a wedding ring in this metal then you will be surprised to
see so many options available for you. If you wish to exchange something really
simple yet beautiful then plain white gold wedding rings are the best option.
It could have a flat design or with rounded edges, whatever you select make
sure that you are comfortable wearing it.
For
something more fancy, embellish you simple band with diamonds or vivid
gemstones. Buying wedding rings that are studded with your birthstone like Sapphire
for September, Emerald for May, and Topaz for November is a lovely idea to make
it special and to add more meaning to the jewellery.
If
you are too lazy to venture out then shop for your wedding rings online. Online
jewellery shops offer better deals to the customers and who knows you will get
some really huge discounts.
