Are you shopping for a wedding ring set? With so many options from traditional
and online jewelry shops it might be difficult to decide what ring set would
suit you the most. There are several factors you need to consider searching
through wedding ring sets to find the best one for you.


Wedding ring set styles


To decide on the style first think if you are going to wear your ring set every
day. If so, it should not only be beautiful but practical. The style should
be elegant enough to go with most of your cloth.

What wedding ring set styles are available to you? Most popular is a set that
consists of a classical ring with a single diamond and a ring with channel set
diamonds. But there are other possibilities. If you like something more elaborate
think of engraved style or a beaded edge style. There are also vintage wedding
ring sets and Celtic style bands.


The best way to find a style you like is to visit a big online wedding ring
shop. Don't mind the prices for now, just look at different ring set styles
they offer and see what you like the most.


Choosing the right metal for your ring


After deciding on the style, you will have to make up your mind about the material
for your ring set. Here you have a choice of gold, white or yellow, platinum
and titanium. But even before you go for a particular material asks yourself
do you want a yellow wedding ring set or a white set? If you want yellow, than
your only choice is traditional gold. White wedding rings are becoming more
popular in recent years, because they look more modern and easier to match with
any cloth. Think of the other jewelry you own and wear often, will white or
gold go with most of it?


Also think of how much you can afford to spend on your ring set. Most expensive
is not necessarily the best. If you go for a cheaper metal, you can have a set
with bigger, better quality diamond.


Gold wedding ring sets


Yellow gold wedding ring set is the easiest to find. Yellow is traditional
and also it has that warm feeling that is associated with marriage. When looking
for traditional gold sets most people think that more carats (more pure the
gold) the better. This is not always true. Gold is a very soft metal, and 24
carats gold ring can get scratches easily. For the purpose of durability 14
carats gold ring sets are the most popular, but if you want more pure gold,
19 carat is a good balance between purity and durability of your ring.


Platinum wedding rings and ring sets


Platinum is an excellent material if you can afford it. Platinum rings have
a whiny white look and last forever without a single scratch. Platinum doesn't
come in carats because the metal used in jewelry is pure and not mixed with
any other metals.


Titanium ring sets


Titanium ring set is another option. Titanium doesn't shine as much as platinum
or white gold, but it has a stylish modern look, it is very durable and not
as expensive as platinum. Titanium wedding ring sets are not as widely available
as ones from other metals, so you will have to do a special search online for
them.


If you decide on the style, price range and material for your wedding ring
set in advance, it will be much easier to find a perfect set. You can look at
different jewelry stores and department stores. Actually department stores often
have wedding ring sets on sale, so you can get a good deal. If you don't find
anything suitable locally, search for your ring set online. There a hundreds
of jewelry shops online, they offer great selection or rings and the prices
are usually better than in traditional shops.
