The Do's and Don'ts of Wedding Rings

You can mix metals as long as you do so in both the engagement and wedding rings. For example don’t have a platinum engagement ring with an 18ct yellow gold wedding ring or the platinum will wear away the gold where the rings touch. Don’t set the diamond of your engagement ring too high unless you plan to be a lady of leisure… You will find it will catch on things like tights and later on (if you have children), your baby’s skin. A very big DO: Enjoy the whole experience of buying your rings. It is one of the best parts of wedding planning and buying, and you should have a great time doing it. Stick with someone that you trust and who you think has the experience to advise you correctly, but most importantly go with your gut instinct – you’ll know when you’ve found the right ring. Why not make a day of it, taking in a long leisurely lunch while you’re at it.
