A gold wedding band looks astonish and ravishing in your fingers. Many people choose to wear it on their engagements as well as weddings. A lot of others also give their better halves as anniversary gifts. But wearing gold bands has some of its disadvantages as well. You can get skin irritation from wearing gold wedding bands.  Also, skin irritation can occur when a wedding ring fits too tightly, as well.

A gold wedding band with diamonds or any other stones can also cause skin rashes owing to bacteria. However, these bacteria can also multiply in small nooks as well as fractures between the band and fingers.

• Don't Get Skin Rashes

Primarily, consider up sizing the ring if necessary and keep the fingers and the band free of dirt. However, you can frequently resolve the problems of skin irritation by giving adequate time for your skin to heal.

• The Heaviness of a Gold Wedding Ring

You have to consider the heaviness while selecting the density of the alloy in the ring. The denser it is the heavier will be the ring.

The actual weight of other metals compared to the weight of a gold wedding ring varies from alloy to alloy. The density of gold in the wedding bands is, however, going to differ slightly according to the alloys used. 

• Metal Feel and Tone of the Gold Wedding Ring

Why do People Generally Choose Yellow or White Gold Over Other Metals?

Some even choose white gold over palladium or platinum. Moreover, this is perhaps because it has humanity's ancient attraction towards gold.
