Wedding Ring Styles
Classic Wedding Rings
Classic wedding rings are the perfect choice for newly engaged couples in the market for traditional, timeless rings. Like most bridal jewelry, classic wedding rings come in yellow gold, white gold and platinum. Rings are sold in a variety of widths, ranging from 2mm to 8mm. skc jewelry carries slightly domed comfort fit wedding rings, slightly flat comfort fit wedding rings, flat comfort fit wedding rings, high dome comfort fit wedding rings, low dome wedding rings, traditional slightly curved wedding rings and classic comfort fit wedding rings.
Classic wedding rings are known for their comfort, as opposed to more intricate or carved wedding rings. Unlike engagement rings, both men and women wear wedding rings all the time and therefore it is extremely important that they are comfortable for every day wear.
When selecting classic wedding rings, understanding width is also critical. The width of your wedding ring is entirely a matter of personal style. Some men and women prefer wider bands while others prefer narrower bands. The width of a woman's wedding ring, specifically, depends entirely on the width of the band on her engagement ring. If a woman with small hands already has a large, wide engagement ring, choosing a narrower band for her wedding ring is a better choice for her comfort. A woman with larger hands can handle wider bands on both engagement and wedding rings, but might prefer not to. Women's wedding rings traditionally match their engagement rings in some way, but they can be very different widths and look beautiful together.

Carved Wedding Rings

Alternative Metals
Titanium
Titanium rings are very popular, particularly as a men’s wedding ring. Titanium is very durable, lightweight and hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for anyone who suffers from metal allergies. Titanium’s color is slightly darker than that of white gold or platinum. Because of its durability, titanium is usually machined from a single piece of metal (which is why it cannot be used for engagement ring prongs, for example). Titanium rings offer many finishes, such as a brushed finished, a polished finished and a hammered finish.
Cobalt Chrome
Cobalt chrome is an alloy which is made of cobalt and chromium. The major advantages of cobalt chrome are that it is difficult for it to corrode, scratch or chip. Simultaneously, cobalt chrome is also very malleable, making it very easy to work with. Finally, cobalt chrome is hypoallergenic, making it a wonderful option for anyone who has sensitive skin.
Ceramic
Ceramic rings have become more prevalent because of their durability, affordability and wide range of colors. The most popular ceramic wedding ring color is black, offering a sleek and unique look for a wedding band. Ceramic jewelry is also very versatile, as it can be customized into a variety of shapes and sizes.

Finding The Perfect Wedding Ring
Finding The Perfect Wedding Rings
Every bride has an idea of what ring she wants and, if possible, the ring that he'll be wearing too. If your man is hesitant about wearing a ring, then put aside your plans for matching bands. Though having rings that match can be a wonderful public expression of your love for each other, that shouldn't be a critical point. Many men find rings to be uncomfortable, so if your platinum round pave set diamond wedding ring doesn't come in an equivalent ring for him, don't fret - wear the ring you want and let him pick out the ring that he likes.
Traditional, Contemporary, or Both?
Styles of rings vary from the traditional to the contemporary, with many women choosing to blend both. Fashion designers such as M Danhov understand what brides want and that includes diamonds - lots of them! For example, the Ladies 18k White Gold MY4 by Danhov Diamond Wedding Band represents the ultimate wedding band: four rows of 2.15 carats of pave' set diamonds in white gold. Stunningly elegant, yet amazingly refined, rings from the Danhov Collection are admired and desired worldwide.
Men have many choices too when it comes to wedding bands. The rules have changed to the point where any man, if he likes them, can have a wedding ring that is encrusted in diamonds too. A customized ring can be made that fits his personality and, if your are one lucky woman, match your ring too. One special note: many men prefer comfort-fit rings, those wedding bands which have rounded inner edges to them.
When Ordering Your Rings
On-line ring buying has grown in leaps and bounds because consumers have discovered that they can get the same rings through mail order that they can buy at the local jewelry store. Because retailers like skc jewelry have a small overhead, the savings are passed on to the customer in the form of lower prices. Moreover, in many cases on-line purchases are delivered state tax free, translating into additional savings for the happy couple. That ring selling for $6000 at the mall jewelry shop could retail for under $5000 on-line!
No matter where you choose to buy your wedding rings, finding a pair that satisfies you both is very important. Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime event, and a day you'll want to cherish forever. Find the right pair of rings and you'll have a forever reminder of your commitment to each other, rings that will satisfy both husband and wife.
