How to Select Your Wedding Band

Match Your Engagement Ring: Consider your engagement ring's metal and style. Some choose matching metal; others prefer complementary metals. Mixing metals is increasingly popular and chic. Visit with professional jeweler to see how options look together.

Consider Your Lifestyle: Active individuals need secure, durable settings. Those working with hands should consider scratch-resistant metals like platinum. Office professionals can wear delicate styles. Athletes might prefer simpler bands.

Think About Maintenance: Polished bands show fingerprints/scratches (require regular polishing). Textured bands hide wear better. Platinum requires minimal maintenance. Gold needs occasional replating if very thin. Consider your willingness to maintain the band.

Personal Style Matters: Your wedding band should make you happy every time you see it. Don't choose based on others' preferences. Whether classic or trendy, choose what resonates with your personal style.

Care & Maintenance

Regular Cleaning: Use mild soap, warm water, and soft brush. Clean weekly for daily wear jewelry. For diamond-set bands, use gentle scrubbing to remove buildup.

Professional Polishing: Polish 1-2 times annually to restore shine. Professional polishing removes minor scratches and wear marks. Protects underlying metal from oxidation.

Rhodium Replating (White Gold): White gold requires rhodium replating every 2-3 years. Process restores bright white appearance. Maintains lustrous finish. Is affordable maintenance ($25-75 typically).

Resizing: Bands can be resized for life. Resizing is easier on simple bands than heavily set bands. Professional jeweler can resize to accommodate weight fluctuations.

Inspection: Have settings inspected annually for loose stones or wear. Professional inspection catches problems early. Prevents stone loss or damage.

Storage: Store in soft cloth or jewelry box to prevent scratching. Keep separately from harder jewelry. Protects band from unnecessary wear.

A: Traditionally yes, but modern couples often mix metals beautifully. Ensure metals complement each other visually and that settings allow comfortable stacking. Try both matching and mixed options before deciding.

A: Absolutely! Many wear wedding bands solo daily, then add engagement rings for special occasions. This is practical and increasingly common, especially for active lifestyles.

Q: What's the best wedding band for sensitive skin?
A: Platinum and surgical steel are hypoallergenic. Ensure pure metals without nickel (which causes sensitivity). If allergic to gold, consider platinum or alternative metals.
