The Rings for engagement, proposal and wedding - Picking the Perfect Ring

Believe many would agree that a ring is not only another element of becoming married, but it's also a long lasting symbol or emblem of your love and commitment. Thus, rings that are timeless and of fine quality would be most apt and ideal!

Design & Style
Comfort is of utmost importance. As one would be wearing them most everyday for the rest their lives, follow your instincts and what you feel would be most comfortable or expressive of your very own style & personality. Look for a design that's simple and timeless, a classic. The traditional plain gold band will be in style for years to come and in contrast, engraved or one studded with stones or diamonds for a more flashy, i.e. eye catching look.

Metal mettle
Silver, gold or platinum? Some diamonds or precious stones on the side?
Common practice would be having the similar metal for their bands and also the engagement ring. However, one can also wear the engagement ring on the right hand, and the wedding ring on the left. Similar style in different metals are also fine putting in consideration which metals each of you wear regularly, for instance, is most of her jewelry silver? Is his watch gold?

Primary ring metal choices include:

Yellow gold
Consider as the most traditional of ring metals; for many, gold is a symbol of the warmth and love of a marriage. Look at the mark inside the band to see what quality the gold is, usually 14k, 18k, or 24k. While 24k is the most pure, it is also the softest. If you work with your hands, you may want to choose 14k or 18k to prevent scratches.

White Gold
A hot trend because it coordinates with both silver and platinum jewelry, yet is cheaper than platinum.

Platinum
This very stylish metal is also the hardest metal, making it for many a symbol of enduring love. Also, because it is not mixed with the lesser metals that gold rings are, platinum is safe for those with alloys. However, you'll pay more for platinum than for gold.
