Wedding Ring Buying Tips
Much thought is given into choosing an engagement ring, but what about the other piece of jewelry that you'll wear forever and ever, your wedding ring? Where the engagement ring is the symbol of the promise to be married, the wedding ring is the symbol of actually being married. Exchanged during the wedding ceremony, your wedding ring will tell the world that you're someone's "other half."
Because your wedding ring will be worn for the rest of your life, you want to choose it carefully. Picking your wedding ring will be much easier if you have some helpful hints to guide you. Read on to learn the top wedding ring buying tips and shop for your wedding ring the smart way.
The Top Wedding Ring Buying Tips are:
Set a Budget
Before you and your fiancé set foot in a jewelry store, you should have a budget in mind for your wedding rings. A general guide is to set aside 3% of your wedding budget for wedding rings. But because wedding budgets differ for every couple, you don't have to stick to that standard percentage. If you already have a figure in mind, go for it. Having a pre-set budget will make it much easier for you once the shopping begins and it will also narrow down the choices for you.
Price will vary depending on what metal you choose and if you want extras like diamonds or custom embellishments. A typical gold wedding ring generally costs about $150 but a platinum band with embellishments starts at about $600 and goes up from there.
Know Your Metals
Wedding rings come in several different materials. The most common metals for wedding rings are gold, white gold, platinum and titanium. Gold, white gold and platinum are traditional standards, but titanium can be a good substitute if you're allergic to certain metals or if you're looking for a lower priced alternative.
Besides the obvious different looks of wedding ring metals, varying metals will also compliment your skin tone differently. Try on wedding rings in a range of materials so you can see which metal looks best on you.
Shop Around
When you first go shopping for your wedding ring, check out a couple different stores before you buy. Compare selection and price at a few different stores and determine which store has the right ring for you.
Because you and your fiancé both need wedding rings, stores may give you a discount if you both buy your wedding rings at the same place. But, if you and your fiancé like rings at different stores, buy your rings where you like. It's more important that you're happy with your ring than to get a minimal discount for a ring that you're not thrilled about. Beware of shops that pressure you to buy on the spot. Purchasing your wedding ring is a big deal and it shouldn't be a hasty decision.
Give Yourself Time
After you get engaged it's easy to become immersed in planning your wedding reception and ceremony. Between planning all of the details for your wedding, buying wedding rings can fall by the wayside. Do yourself a favor and don't leave shopping for wedding rings until the last minute.
Start shopping for wedding rings at least 2 months before your wedding date. If you want something specific or you're interested custom features like engraving, start shopping 4 months before your wedding date.
Style it Right
Wedding rings come in a variety of styles. You'll find rings that are thin, thick, plain, studded with diamonds, rounded, squared and in a wide array of metals. Pick a ring that suits your personal style and make sure its something that you'll feel comfortable wearing every day.
If you're laid back and like to dress very casually most of the time, select a ring that will blend in with your casual wardrobe. If you wear suits most of the time and tend to dress up often, pick a ring that is a bit more formal. Brides will also want to make sure that their wedding ring will compliment the engagement ring that they've already chosen.
Shopping for your wedding ring can be a task that is both simple and fun. Don't wait until the last minute and keep these wedding ring buying tips in mind. If you do, you'll have no trouble finding a wedding ring that you'll be happy to wear always.
Finding The Best Wedding Rings
Traditionally speaking, not having a wedding ring or band to present when proposing to your significant other is a practice that is frowned upon. For most part, the engagement ring is simply a symbol, which is then replaced by the actual wedding ring. Many couples choose to keep the same ring in both cases, and so it is necessary to have a wonderful wedding ring design. Even the simplest of wedding bands comes with a small flourish of design these days, and that is what one must decide.
Over the years, there are certain wedding ring design ideas that have become the most popular. Leading these are the diamond rings and platinum wedding bands. When you visit a jewellery store, you will find many dozens of such rings in varying designs. When picking out the perfect wedding ring, there are two ways to go. First of these is to choose from the variety of designs presented to you at the store. The other is to customize the design as per your taste and have a brand new wedding ring. When customizing, you can also change the design of a family heirloom ring. The choice is yours.
When the choice has been made, you can start thinking of design ideas. It does not matter if you are picking a ready-made one as they too come in many cuts, sets and designs which have to be selected in advance. It may not sound very romantic, but when you see the smile on your partner's face on seeing the perfectly designed ring; it will definitely be worth all of the effort. But first, you should know of the best wedding ring design to buy from.

Thinking Of Ring Design Ideas
Most of us have seen the wedding rings that our parents have been wearing for many years and remember those as the designs. Others have a family ring belonging to their grandmothers or great-grandmothers that they wish to present. However, all of these designs are many years old as of now and there many modern ones in the market. Before you decide upon any wedding ring design, make sure that your significant other prefers one style over the other. Usually, the choice is between the classic designs, the vintage designs and the modern ones.
Picking out a wedding ring design also depends on your budget. Certain designs may cost an upwards of $5,000 to fully customize and create apart from the original cost of the diamond. To get a beautifully designed ring on a considerably smaller budget is not extremely difficult, but it will take some effort to get exactly what you have been looking for without any compromise.

What Are The Best Ring Designs For Women?
Finding a wedding ring that your girlfriend will love at first sight is both one of the easiest and the most difficult things to do. To begin with, having a diamond ring is the safest way to go since there are few women that will not appreciate one on their finger. From there on, you will have to decide the design in which the diamond will be set. Here, it is possible to get the wrong wedding ring design. But there are certain ring designs for women that will never lead you wrong. To get them, you will first of all have to get the correct ring size for her. When you get that, you can move forward.
To find a good design, you can start by visiting the jeweller. They will present before you some of the more popular designs in the past five years. Unless your girlfriend has specified an interest in the older designs, try to keep to the modern ones. Gold and platinum rings are two of the best and can be adapted into many designs. You can leaf through a magazine on wedding ring design till you find one. White gold and silver are also options for the ring, but use those only if you know for sure your girlfriend would love them as much as the gold or platinum ring.
The classic wedding band is one where the band is inscribed and the singular diamond is encrusted in it. Another play on this wedding ring design is to create a setting for the diamond outside of the ring. Many women are fond of this as it shows off their ring better. You can also try the three-stone design, where there are three diamonds placed on the wedding band in a row and surrounded by gold or platinum. Apart from this, there is the carved wedding ring which has motifs within the band which are then filled with semi-precious stones and diamonds.

What Are The Best Ring Designs For Men?
Finding a wedding ring for men is much simpler than getting one for women. Most men prefer a simple band that does not show off much. In this manner, there are somewhat lesser choices but they are all quite elegant and classy in nature. Currently, the market is being ruled by rings and bands made from platinum. The wedding ring design with platinum is usually quite simple and does not look very loud. It can be easily engraved with lettering, something that suits the wedding bands. Platinum is also hypo allergic and will not cause any allergies in the hands as well.

Tungsten and titanium are also being used quite frequently these days, since they can withstand a great deal of wear and tear along with being easy to carve and engrave. Depending on the personality of your boyfriend, there are various designs you can go for. Celtic and paisley designs have made a recent comeback, which feature styled crosses and knots being carved all around the wedding band. Such a wedding ring design is antique looking and gives a wonderful sense of old-worldliness to the ring.
One popular design seen for men fond of science-fiction and literature is a copper-gold or gold ring engraved with the letterings found in "Lord of the Rings". In the same way, there are many pop culture themes that have been adapted to the wedding bands these days. Having such fantasy kind rings may not appeal to many women, but they are becoming popular in the circuit of adults in the mid 20's and wanting something unique to commemorate their love. In this way, you can choose a wedding ring design that your man will love even after twenty years have gone by!

THE POWER OF PURPLE
Purple’s rarity in nature and the expense of creating the color and has given purple a supernatural aura for centuries. Purple is also the most powerful wavelength of the rainbow – and it’s a color with a powerful history that has evolved over time. In fact, the origins of the symbolism of purple are more significant and interesting than those of any other color.
If we go back to our pre-historic existence, our ancestors probably never saw a purple fruit, flower, bird, fish - or any living thing - because purple is very rare in nature. This is hard to imagine in today’s connected world.
As civilizations developed, so did clothing and colored dyes. The earliest purple dyes date back to about 1900 B.C. It took some 12,000 shellfish to extract 1.5 grams of the pure dye - barely enough for dying a single garment the size of the Roman toga. It’s no wonder then, that this color was used primarily for garments of the emperors or privileged individuals.
Over the course of history, purple pigments and dyes became less costly and complex, but one thing has remained the same: Purple symbolizes nobility and luxury to most people in the world.
Today, science has revealed much more about purple than our ancestors ever realized: Purple is the most powerful visible wavelength of electromagnetic energy. It’s just a few steps away from x-rays and gamma rays. Perhaps this explains why purple is associated with supernatural energy and the cosmos than with the physical world as we know it.
Taking all aspects of purple’s past and present into consideration, purple symbolizes magic, mystery, spirituality, the sub-conscious, creativity, dignity, royalty – and it evokes all of these meanings more so than any other color.
Variations of purple convey different meanings: Light purples are light-hearted, floral, and romantic. The dark shades are more intellectual and dignified.
Most young people view purple as a happy color. No baggage. Older adults view the color through a broader perspective. Furthermore, purple takes on new meanings in many cultures.
OOOk.... Enough of the history of purple....
