At the best, shopping for a ring that will stay lifelong should take some consideration. In terms of budget, people say it should not cost more than half your monthly paycheck. In terms of design, they say, you should make a choice together with your partner. Because matching rings are also something special. We look at some wider, heavier versions today, where rings can vary from 4mm to 6mm for men and women.

A 6mm gold wedding band can cost you upwards of $700. This is for 14k gold while you can have Rose Gold, White Gold, and more. While those made of materials like tungsten, tungsten with a gold ring, forever white tungsten wedding ring, and bands with a touch of color from like blue opal inlay sell for $150 and more. These are affordable and yet stunning in appearance the modern trend is to look for unique designs and eco-friendly jewelry. These combine classic styles with a twist of their own. There are usually boutiques and designers that make such pieces.

However, a 6mm wedding band made of platinum, tungsten, or other composites with a touch of diamond stones or sapphire can cost even more than a plain gold ring. Thus, there are caveats to both ways, depending on your choice. You do not have to stick to an inexpensive choice if you want something more expensive. Both are highly polished and great for everyday wear, while one is less sensitive to damages. Additional options include palladium, silver, pearl, and so on.
