Wedding Ring and Band Guide

Marriage is one of the biggest and most momentous events in life, it is associated with traditions and rituals that people have been observing for thousands of years. Preparing for marriage has always been associated not only with joy and beauty, but also with the responsibility to make sure everything goes properly. 

Wedding bands and rings come in many styles, making for endless design possibilities. This guide will help you find the perfect ring to symbolize your love and commitment.

Each piece of jewelry has its own love story.

Wedding rings are a symbol that unites and harmonizes the newlyweds both spiritually and visually.
Choosing wedding rings can be a difficult pre-wedding task, as it is one of the first decisions a couple has to make together.

The most popular wedding rings are made of yellow gold. This metal is recognized for its beautiful tone and durability. However, increasingly often people prefer white or rose gold rings.

In most cases, wedding rings are bought as a set because people who are getting married want their rings to be similar, but this is not a rule. Cultive rings can be bought as a set or individually.

Here are some simple steps that will make choosing wedding rings much easier.

Remember, the ring is something you must like! Even if it’s made of dandelion, the important thing is that it symbolizes love and happiness for you.

Precious metal type

Traditionally, gold wedding rings are the most popular. Rings of yellow, red or white gold have been considered symbols of marriage since ancient times.

Recently there appeared a trend for silver wedding rings, both with diamonds and with gold.

The choice in favor of gold is usually made with an eye to tradition, because a gold wedding ring symbolizes value, longevity and wisdom, but these same values are also assigned to silver in many cultures.

What should be the budget for a wedding ring or band?

The amount of money you can allocate to buy rings will be a good starting point in your future search. Gold rings require a larger investment because gold itself is expensive, while silver is a more budget-friendly option. Сultive has gold rings priced starting from … .

Intangible value of a wedding ring

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your family’s wedding rings intertwined several generations? If your grandmother or mother has one or more pieces of gold jewelry gathering dust in her jewelry box that no one has worn for a long time, wouldn’t it be wonderful to give them a second life by turning them into a symbol of your family?

Bring your stale gold jewelry to a jewelry store and get a decent credit toward the purchase of new wedding rings in return. That way, the emotional value will be passed on, and you can consider that other family members have made a wonderful contribution to the new family symbol.

Design – from classic to avant-garde

When we think of wedding rings, classic gold rings usually come to mind, but today’s reality shows that people choose rings with more unusual designs as well. To understand which ring can become a symbol of your marriage, do some research – look closely at other people’s wedding rings, search the Internet for information about different metals and their meanings. Wedding rings can combine different materials, you can use precious stones to decorate them.

Harmony. Should the couple’s wedding rings match each other?

What if the bride likes one style of ring and the groom likes a completely different style? Choosing rings can be the first big challenge when it comes to coming to an agreement on an important issue. Consistency in ring design can be a good symbol of the couple’s compatibility, but keep in mind – although it is customary to choose wedding rings in the same style, the final decision is still up to you. It also happens that the bride and groom choose different rings, but the engraving on them is the same.

The place to buy the rings should be chosen in time!

Shopping for wedding rings, like any important item, should not be put off until the last minute. There is nothing more horrible than realizing that you have found the perfect rings for the most important event in your life, but they are promised to be delivered only after your wedding day. 

As mentioned above, you can safely start your first search on the internet or by thoroughly researching your friends’ or relatives’ wedding rings. Cultive has over fifty different types of wedding rings in its collections, which you can check out online. You can buy most of them right away, but if you have any special requests (for example, if you go to engrave the wedding date, names of the spouses, etc. on the rings), it’s better to do everything in time.

Men’s Wedding Bands

Traditionally men’s wedding rings have consisted of a plain metal band. And while that’s still the most popular option for men’s wedding jewelry, the options for customizing bands to one’s personality and style have become expansive.

Men’s wedding bands now come in a wide variety of metals, including tungsten, titanium, and palladium. And men’s wedding bands can also consist of diamonds, gemstones, textured metal designs, and engravings.

Engraving

Once you have found or customized your band with the perfect metal and gems, you may still have more to say – literally. Here the beauty of engraving comes in. You can choose to engrave with your monogram, wedding date, a special saying, or even a fingerprint. The length of the engraving depends on the ring size and type of ring.

Use the art of engraving for matching purposes and special sentiment. For couples, a personalized engraving—typically on the inside of the band—can make an incredible difference between a generic ring and a treasured piece of jewelry. It is a sweet and sentimental way to add a special touch to wedding rings.
