Looking for the perfect wedding rings is a daunting task. It requires patience and a fixed mind: two of the qualities most bride-to-be's come up short of. There are just so many wedding rings advertised and sold out there that really, it can take you a week before you and your partner can both decide, and sometimes compromise, on.
If you and your man are into old-fashioned romance, then lucky for you both, you have at least some idea on what you want your wedding rings should be. You have two options for this: one is to look for the family heirlooms, and second is to look for antique style wedding rings. For the family heirlooms, you will not only be saved from the hassle of buying the rings, but also end up having authentic and really pricey wedding rings for free. In short, you and your partner will be silently thanking the ancestor and benefactor of such rings.
If you do not have such heirlooms, or you have but don't like them, then the antique style wedding rings are for you. The beauty of these rings is that they have the ability to look old without being such. As it is, there are a lot of antique style wedding rings available in jewelry shops and all you have to do is pick a set.
As usual, as wedding rings go, if you do not like any of the rings shown in the jewelry shop's catalogs, you and your partner can design it yourselves. You can browse photos and samples of antique wedding rings or ones that look antique and design your own set according to what you've seen. If you and your partner are not that sure with your own designs, ask for help with the jewelry designer. He, or she, will guide you in the process; just make sure that you describe everything in detail. This will help him greatly in coming up with a design that you will love and also help you avoid disappointments upon seeing that the finished product is not like anything that you have asked for.
These rings can be made of yellow or white gold, silver, titanium, platinum and the like. It is interesting to note that lately, couples opt for such rings, especially the ones that are made out of platinum or white gold. This is because such materials, plus the design, reflect the past while also showing the present. In this way, the past and present are seen in one item. With the way that they are designed and the material that they are made of, these wedding rings also say that the wearers are stylish irregardless of time.
Another reason why most couples nowadays opt for the white gold or platinum material lies on the fact that they have this bright and contrasting appearance, making them hard to miss. Unlike yellow gold, white gold does not fade. So you can scratch out the constant trips that you will be making to the jewelry shop to have it cleaned to make it yellow and gleaming again. As for platinum, they are very durable. No matter what you and your partner do, you both can be assured that the rings will stay intact for the rest of your lives.
