Wedding rings symbolize the union of two people joined by the ring finger. Some people say the ring finger has an artery that leads straight to the heart. I don't know if that's true but it is romantic.
Once married most people don't take off their wedding bands, as a sign of their faithfulness to each other. It's also a good idea to leave them on because it is surprisingly easy to lose your rings.
Here is the buzz on saving a few bucks on your wedding rings:
• Simple gold bands are the cheapest. They can run $125 to $400 each. They are also classic and elegant.
• Silver bands are modern and cheap.
• Don't buy the designer version of gold bands. That will save you a bunch.
• If you want white metal, opt for white gold. Platinum is almost double the price.
• You'll save almost half if you buy a coordinating set or trio (engagement ring, your wedding band and his band.)
• If you want a ring with a stone, don't forget semi-precious stones are beautiful. You don't have to have diamonds in your wedding rings.
• Family wedding bands are a romantic heirloom and free.
• Shopping online can save you money. Make sure you pick a secure site with great customer service.
• Check out local pawn shops too.
• Consider stones other than diamonds. Princess Diana had a sapphire ring, you could too!
• If you really want something more-make a plan-start saving now and decide to upgrade your wedding rings on your fifth anniversary or your tenth anniversary. Maybe you could plan to renew your vows then too! |
