In all the excitement of getting married, it can be easy to let wedding rings slip down the list of priorities.

But wedding rings are just as important as engagement rings, and what’s more, unlike engagement rings, you both need to have one! And because there’s so much choice – platinum or gold, shiny or matte, you need to give your decision plenty of thought.

While matching bands for bride and groom in yellow gold were previously the standard, the more recent trend has been for white metals, especially gold and platinum. With white or yellow gold, you can choose between 14 and 18 karats, according to your budget.

If you can’t decide between white or yellow gold, how about a dual-metal band incorporating both. Equally, wedding rings made from yellow gold can be outlined in platinum.

Then of course, you have to think whether you want a jewel to go in your ring. The classic diamond wedding band is the eternity ring, composed of brilliant, round-cut diamonds in a channel or pavé setting. However, one of the latest trends is to add coloured stones to a wedding ring.

But, remember, this is an item you will want to wear decades into the future, so you need to choose something you love, not something whose appeal will fade as fashions change.
