Wedding Rings: What They Can Be Made Of

Wedding rings can be made with just about any metal but when you look around, you’ll find that gold, and yellow gold at that, seems to be the most commonly used metal. This is largely on account of tradition and you’ll find that there are younger couples breaking away from this and looking at other metals. Let’s take a look at why people opt for gold and what the trend is when it comes to other metals today.

Wedding Rings: Traditional Gold

The use of gold for jewellery goes back centuries. Being so malleable, it can be fashioned into any design and that perhaps is what made it popular through the ages. Today, besides yellow gold which has always been a favourite for wedding rings, what is also popular is white gold. What trendsetters are doing today is asking for wedding rings to be designed in gold which has been tinged with colours – green, red or even pink. There also seems to be a move towards eco rings where the gold has been recycled or is sure to have come from mines where humane conditions were prevalent.

Wedding Rings: Other Metals

The other metals that are growing in popularity for wedding rings are platinum, palladium, titanium, tungsten and even silver. The first four are expensive metals but they are hard and they are scratch-resistant. Platinum, especially, seems to be getting very popular today. What makes these metals popular today is also the fact that they probably go better with most clothes than gold.
