58 www.thejewelrybook.com 58 www.thejewelrybook.com SELECTING THE RIGHT METAL Just like purchasing an engagement ring, buying a wedding band is a long-term investment. Before purchasing the engagement ring, you should shop with the wedding band in mind, considering the full look of both rings stacked together. By doing so, you can determine whether or not you want the wedding band to sit fl ush with your engagement ring, and which metals for both rings you prefer. Platinum is the industry standard for wedding jewelry, and is the rarest precious metal. Unlike other metals, platinum is durable and naturally white, allowing diamonds and other gemstones to appear even more brilliant. WEDDING BRAND TRENDS MISMATCHING WEDDING BANDS There are no defi nitive rules that say your wedding bands need to match your engagement ring –or each other. Let your personal preferences and styles guide your choices, and don't be afraid to mix it up. Mismatched wedding bands can create a one-of-a-kind look. Consider a curved or notched wedding band to pair effortlessly with an oval-shaped engagement ring. Or, how about a twisted or rope wedding band that makes "tying the knot" even more elegant? WEARING ON THE OPPOSITE HAND Some brides may choose to wear a wedding band or a stack of bands on the left hand, and wear the engagement ring on the right hand. Again, how the rings are worn are completely a matter of preference, and this choice may allow for even more freedom when selecting the style or number of rings. INCORPORATING COLOR Diamonds are not the only way to symbolize your matrimony. A color-loving bride should never be limited and adding a pop of color to your wedding band is the perfect way to express your individuality. Gems set in platinum appear even more brilliant because of the metal's natural white color. Platinum also allows wedding bands and other jewelry to hold gems more securely and endure years of natural wear. Use your birthstone, your partner's birthstone, or even the month you got married as meaningful color inspiration. DON'T FORGET YOUR PARTNER Platinum will withstand the test of time and symbolize the beginning of a long and happy relationship. Both deserve to have a timeless, high quality platinum wedding band to wear for years to come. These rings will serve as a constant reminder of your special day, and the beautiful life you've built together. Choose your platinum wedding band with care.
