Criterias of choice
The choice of wedding rings is very important, and their variety is mesmerizing. It is very difficult to find a decent option right away.
First, you need to decide which metal is suitable for the newlyweds. Some people are allergic to chromium, cobalt or nickel.
Usually the bride and groom go to choose this important attribute together, but the man makes the purchase. Jewelry can be identical for the newlyweds, or differ in design. Each couple independently decides which option suits her best.

The size
To get the right size, one fitting will not be enough. The size of a finger can vary depending on various factors: physical activity, the amount of alcohol consumed, the time of year, etc. Therefore, it is better to come and try on the jewelry several times before buying.

You also need to know that the size on the tag may not match the real one. There is a possibility of errors up to 0.4 mm in diameter. It is usually found among inexpensive jewelry.

The inner surface of the ring plays a huge role, since it can be either round or flat. If you have a tendency to swelling of your fingers, then you should give preference to the rounded shape of the product.
The size of the ring depends on the width of its shape. The larger the size, the larger the width should be.

When choosing rings for a wedding, you should take into account the shape and length of your fingers:
- For brides with long and thin fingers, narrow or very wide rings are ideal.
- Wide jewelry will look beautiful on long and thick fingers.
- A 4.5 to 6 mm ring is perfect for fingers of medium thickness and length.
- And remember, to prevent discomfort when putting on the ring, you should also take into account the width of the joint.

Try
Many newlyweds prefer gold jewelry. Classic choices are 500, 583, 585 and 750 fine jewelry. It is this figure that indicates the percentage of gold in the product. It is located on the inside of the rings. The most expensive rings have a fineness of 958, and the lowest - 375.

Metal
Gold wedding rings are a classic choice, but don't be limited in your choice. Many couples prefer silver or white gold jewelry. These two metals look very nice in tandem.

Platinum rings are among the most expensive, as this metal is considered the purest. But not every couple can afford such an expensive purchase.
Titanium products are the ideal solution. This metal is characterized by lightness, for a long time it does not lose its original appearance and outwardly resembles white gold.

Price
Before choosing wedding rings, the newlyweds must decide how much money they are willing to spend on this purchase, since there is a lot to buy for a wedding. An expensive product does not always look attractive.

If it is not possible to purchase the model you like, you should look for a similar option, but only thinner. Weight plays a key role in jewelry pricing.
You should definitely like the ring, as you will wear it all your life. You shouldn't buy very cheap options.

Design
The design of wedding rings can be the same or different for the bride and groom. Each couple of newlyweds independently choose the appropriate option. Previously, all rings were characterized by a smooth shape. But today the choice is varied. You can purchase jewelry with stones, notches or engravings.

Classical
For weddings, smooth rings are traditionally purchased, while the width can be different. Such jewelry is practical because it does not lose its original appearance over the years.
To add originality to the rings, it is worth engraving, indicating the date of the wedding and the initials of the newlyweds on the inside of the jewelry.

Combined
This decoration is made from several types of metal. Craftsmen often combine yellow, white and red gold in one piece of jewelry, using interesting shapes of details. These three color schemes are the personification of love, friendship and loyalty. If you like to mix different styles of clothing, then this option will be a great solution.

Embossed
Jewelery embellished with relief designs is popular with many fashionistas. The so-called "diamond edge" looks spectacular and bright, which shines beautifully when exposed to sunlight.
Decorations with interesting patterns in the Art Nouveau, Egyptian or naturalistic style look refined and unusual.
Often, to personify loyalty and love, craftsmen create interweaving of smooth lines, ovals or rhombuses.

With rocks
Women prefer engagement rings with precious stones. The diamond ring looks elegant, stylish and unforgettable. Craftsmen use not only precious, but also semi-precious stones to decorate jewelry. They prefer stones in translucent or transparent shades.
The use of exquisite stones among a variety of geometric shapes or intricate patterns makes the jewelry look unique and very attractive. Rarely do brides give preference to items with a colored stone.

Today, craftsmen offer various types of cuts - pear-shaped, oval or round, in the form of a heart, etc. Rings with stones should be chosen more carefully. The stone must be clean, free from stains and all kinds of defects. To confirm the authenticity and quality of the stone, it is worth asking the seller for a certificate for this piece of jewelry.

A ring with topaz, amethyst, pearls, sapphire, emerald or chrysolite looks beautiful and stylish. But it should be borne in mind that not every such decoration will retain its original appearance for a long time. For example, a sapphire may darken after a few years. Emerald is characterized by fragility, therefore, with a strong blow, it can crack. Pearls do not like a sharp drop in temperature.

Options for cutting stones
An engagement ring can be decorated with not one, but several stones, while the central one is always larger, and the rest are smaller. Before buying, it is worth checking the stones for the strength of the fastening so that they do not fall out, as this will ruin the appearance.
The ideal solution would be jewelry from manufacturers who give a lifetime warranty on all of their jewelry. Then if a pebble falls out, then you will definitely have it installed back and completely free of charge.

How to try on correctly?
Fitting a wedding ring is a very important and responsible business.
To choose the right size, you should adhere to several rules:
- Fitting must be done several times before buying. It is ideal to put on the product first in the morning and then again in the evening.Toes can swell during the day, so it's important to figure out what size will be comfortable for constant wear.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-165/2017/05/kak-vybrat-obruchalnoe-kolco-58.jpg)
- If you buy a ring in the morning, then you may experience discomfort in the evening. When buying a ring closer to the night, then in the morning it can slip off your finger. The engagement ring should be a little loose so that it fits securely on your finger and does not cause discomfort.
- You should not try the ring on after you have drunk a large amount of liquid, exercised, come from the cold, or have recently been under a hot shower. After each of these actions, your fingers behave atypically.
- You should not rely on the size from the manufacturer, since it does not always coincide with reality. There may be deviations, so if size 16 suits you, then a 15, 5 or 16.5 mm ring can be comfortable.
- The size is influenced by the width of the ring. If the ring is more than 10 mm wide, it is worth trying on the piece of jewelry one size larger from the usual one. This is due to the fact that they sit not only on the thin part of the finger, but also go over part of the phalanx. It is customary to add 0.1 mm for each additional millimeter of the thickness of the ring, which is more than 5 mm.
- The size of the ring is also influenced by its internal shape. Products with a raised side will always be larger.
