Wedding Rings

The price of a wedding ring varies depending on the metal used, the design of the ring, and the diamonds (if any). Unlike engagement rings which require you to spend 3 months' salary, wedding rings cost from £100 to £3000.

One of the major factors that determine the price of wedding rings is the type of metal that is used. Asides its appearance, most people opt for precious metals due to their quality as they’ll be worn virtually every day for the rest of their lives. Regardless of the few times you may have to take off your ring, wedding rings are worn in almost everyday situations, and as such, are meant to look precious instead of washed or faded. That’s why most people ops for expensive metals for their wedding ring.

Asides from the metal, the type/style of ring matters as well. Plain rings with simple designs and no embellishment of diamonds are the most affordable style of wedding rings. Although, the price will largely be determined by the amount of precious metal used to craft the ring. The bigger the ring size and the thicker the band, the higher the price. A plain, light court wedding ring of 2mm in width will cost between £320 and £350 for the average woman’s ring size (M) and average man’s ring size (T) respectively. And the one of 5mm in width will cost between £760 and £870 for the average woman and man respectively.

Looking for something with diamonds? The bigger each diamond, and the more diamond used, the higher the price. A diamond set of 1.6mm in width will cost around £1,120, while a smaller size will cost around £1,000, and slightly bigger size will cost around £1,200. In the end, it depends on your budget.

According to tradition, the bride and/or her family buys the man’s wedding ring. Unfortunately, times have changed and people are doing things differently. So, who buys the man’s wedding ring in this modern-day and age? There’s no perfect answer here; it’s up to the soon-to-be-married couple and couples are not deciding by themselves which option works best for them.

Most couples split the cost of their wedding rings either because of financial planning or to get matching wedding rings, and the former works best if you’ve combined your finances prewedding, or if the both of you are sharing all or part of the wedding expenses. There are several things to consider when buying a man’s wedding ring, and the most important factor is the price. The average price of a men's wedding band will cost around $100 and $2,000, with the average price most people spend being around $600.

Another thing to consider is the material of the band. Here are some common material types:

1. White Gold: The most popular ring for men, but it contains nickel and many people are allergic to nickel. So you may want to get a different type of ring.

2. Platinum: This is a more expensive metal because it’s very durable, dense, and hypoallergenic. It won’t show any sign of wear even if you wear it every day.

3. Yellow Gold: This is a warm and modern metal, and what most people think of when they hear a gold wedding ring.

4. Rose Gold: This metal is a mixture of pure gold and copper, and it has been increasing in popularity. It also emits a rosy/champagne hue.

The engagement ring and wedding ring are actually different. An engagement ring is given at a proposal while a wedding ring is exchanged at a wedding ceremony representing the official bond of marriage.

A wedding ring is a simpler ring and most times doesn’t feature diamonds or gemstones, like this, while engagement rings can be any ring, ranging from simple designs with big diamonds like this. Both rings are sometimes worn together on the 4th finger of the left hand to symbolize love and commitment.

Most people buy their rings separately, while others buy theirs together. If you want your engagement ring and wedding ring to match and complement each other, you can buy both rings together, known as bridal sets as they fit together seamlessly and usually match metal colors. To round things up, an engagement ring is worn by your fiancée after a proposal to symbolize

commitment and love, while a wedding ring is worn by both couples after exchanging vows during a marriage ceremony.

There’s no specific answer to this as it’s up to your personal preference and culture. After your wedding ceremony, you may decide to wear your engagement ring along with your wedding ring, to wear them separately, or to wear only your wedding ring.

Most married women wear both their engagement ring and wedding ring together, while others prefer to wear only their wedding ring. Some married women also prefer to wear their engagement rings in a separate hand and their wedding rings in the other.

Tradition holds that your engagement rings and wedding rings are worn together on the 4th finger of your left hand, and it also states that your wedding ring should be worn inside the engagement ring to ensure it’s closer to your heart. In the end, regardless of tradition or culture how you wear your rings depends on your choices.

Your wedding ring is a beautiful reminder of your love and commitment to your partner whom you chose to spend the rest of your life. Traditionally, it should be worn every day for the rest of your life. However, this doesn’t mean you should never take your ring off. In reality, you should actually take off your wedding ring for specific reasons because it requires special care as it is made of easily damaged precious metals and stones (if any).

As such, you should avoid wearing your wedding ring during situations that could cause you to lose or damage it. There are a few situations that require you to remove your ring in order to protect it.

Here’s why:

1. When Cleaning: Harsh chemicals from household cleaners like soaps can tarnish your ring’s metal or even damage the stone (if any), in cases of rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. It’s advisable to take off your ring or wear waterproof gloves to protect your ring.

2. During Gardening: Asides from losing your ring in the dirt, gardening allows dirt to get into your ring. It’s best to go take off your ring or wear protective gloves before working in the garden.

3. When swimming: It is never advisable to swim with your ring on, especially in lakes or oceans. Cool water can shrink your fingers, making it very easy for rings to slip off. It’s advisable to leave your ring on dry land.

4. During Workout: If you regularly play tennis, lift weights, or use exercise equipment, you should consider taking off your ring during your workouts. Tightly gripping weights or equipment can wear

on your ring and even scratch the metal. It’s advisable to take off your ring while during a workout or when lifting heavy weights, and put it back on after your post-workout shower.
