Choosing your wedding ring is definitely a very exciting time in your life. Your wedding ring will be a symbol of your love which means that you will wear for a very long time. Therefore it is important to spend some time and thoughts about choosing it.

For ladies it is often easier to choose a wedding ring than for men. Some reasons are:

Ladies are often more familiar with jewelry terminology than men, which can make the process a little less confusing and daunting than it is for men.
Ladies have often had the benefit of seeing friends’ and colleagues’ wedding rings; ladies will often have an idea of the type of wedding ring that they would like; and importantly, most ladies wear an engagement ring which will play a major part in choosing the wedding ring design.

Below are some small hints and tips about choosing your wedding ring:

Your engagement ring design should compliment your wedding ring
Engagement rings and wedding rings are somehow connected. If you wear an engagement ring you will need to take into account how the design of your engagement ring will influence your wedding ring design.

 Your engagement ring design should compliment your wedding ring

Engagement rings and wedding rings are somehow connected. If you wear an engagement ring you will need to take into account how the design of your engagement ring will influence your wedding ring design.

Ideally the wedding ring should compliment the engagement ring, rather than distract attention away from the engagement ring. This doesn’t mean the wedding ring needs to be too streotype and uninteresting. It means that you need to choose a wedding ring that will suit your engagement ring design, a ring that looks like it was always meant to be with your engagement ring, just as you were always meant to be with your future husband. Thus, it is a symbol of stability and harmony of your relationship.
Here are some wedding ring advice tips will help you to choose a wedding ring that compliments your engagement ring:

Can you wear a straight wedding ring or do you need a curved fitted wedding ring?

Keep in mind, a wedding ring and an engagement ring should appear that they were made to be worn together.
In relation to choosing a wedding ring, your engagement ring can be grouped into one of two categories.
1. Engagement rings designs that have a straight edged band that can have a straight edged wedding ring worn next to it.
2. Engagement rings that have a unique band shape (not a straight band) together with engagement rings that have gemstone settings that sit low enough on the engagement ring band to prevent a straight wedding ring design from sitting neatly and evenly next to the engagement ring.

For the second category, although you could wear a straight wedding ring with those engagement ring styles, in keeping with the concept that the wedding ring and engagement ring should be made to look like they belong together, it’s best to wear a curved or fitted wedding ring when possible so that the wedding ring will sit neatly and evenly with the engagement ring.
The words curved or fitted wedding rings are normally used to describe this scenario.
A good proportion of ladies wedding rings are curved or fitted to allow them to sit well with the engagement ring, so you should not be concerned if you need a curved or fitted wedding ring as this is quite common.

Gillett’s Jewellers also offer a range of curved ladies wedding rings available for order online that are designed to match a range of popular engagement ring shapes.
