Good question! Picking your ring metal is important, influencing looks, price, maintenance and care. Couples may choose to buy matching or contrasting rings.
Platinum: The rarest of all available precious metals but also the strongest, whitest, and most durable.
White Gold: An alloy of yellow gold, mixed with white metal to deliver a shine comparable to platinum.
Yellow Gold: The most traditional of all wedding band metals. A timeless metal owing to its precious nature and rarity.
Palladium: Extremely popular amongst budding grooms, a member of the platinum family but 1/3 of the price.
Rose Gold: One of the trendiest metals of modern days, formulated using gold mixed with copper alloys and silver to deliver that lovely pink-red hue.
Silver: The most common of all precious metals, easier to source and a lot cheaper to buy.
Plain Wedding Bands for Men in 9 Carat Rose Gold
Besides love and your brand new surname, your wedding ring is the only traditional symbol that remains permanent throughout modern weddings. Not everybody wants a historic ceremony, yet not everybody wants to maintain and comply with what everybody else may be doing. Yet throughout this debate of wedding ceremonies, one thing remains permanent - the exchange of wedding rings.
If you are one to maintain traditional values, and want the full beauty and immersion of a historic wedding, than the simple plain wedding band is the ideal wedding ring for you. The exchange of wedding rings traces back to Ancient Egyptians, in which the most precious metal a husband could offer would be plain gold. Since then, the plain band has become a symbol of unity and commitment across multiple cultures and religions. They are classic, timeless, and showcase elegance through simplicity.
This being said, there comes a certain need to personalise, as the wedding ring remains permanent and stays with you eternally. So the best way to comply with tradition whilst expressing yourself without over-the-top extravagance is a simple coloured gold wedding ring.
