In the rush to complete wedding plans, it's not uncommon for couples to put off buying the all-important element that seals their vows: their wedding bands. Shiny circles of precious metal made to last a lifetime, your wedding bands won't go out of style if you select a timeless, rather than a trendy, style. Choose from these beautiful designs:
1. Classic Gold Bands
The iconic symbol of a wedding ring, a simple polished gold band complements any style of engagement ring. Models made with a "comfort fit" have rounded edges and are easiest to wear for those not accustomed to jewelry. Note: The higher the gold content, the softer (and more yellow) the ring will be.
2. Classic Tri-Color Rolling Band
Three interlocking bands of yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold create one great-looking band in this contemporary classic. It's also known as a rolling, or Cartier Trinity ring. Couples who forgo an engagement ring may find this more-elaborate design especially appealing.3. Classic Milgrain Band
This style (also called beaded or granulated) sandwiches a shiny metal band between two beaded edges. Whether wrought in yellow or white gold, or the more contemporary platinum, this is a good-looking and enduring style. A custom jeweler may be able to offer you milgrain-edge rings in a choice of widths and metals. Men's rings are traditionally narrower than women's.
