Most of us worry about the way we look on our wedding days. We focus on the dress, the hair, the makeup. We even spend hours deliberating over jewelry to compliment our color schemes. The hardest part for me was picking my wedding ring! It’s the most important jewelry of the day, and picking my ring was a big decision. Add to that the fact you’ll wear this ring for the rest of your life, and you could say this particular accessory decision matters more than most.
What you don’t want to do is rush your choice. You’ll be wearing this every day, after all! It should reflect you and be comfortable enough that it doesn’t bother you. To make sure that doesn’t happen to you, consider the following ways to ensure wearability and your ring are good friends by the time your moment comes.

Consider color
We often let our hearts decide on a design we love, irrelevant of the color. The trouble is, a silver ring could be problematic if your collection is gold. Of course, tastes change. There’s no betting what you’ll like in twenty years time. But, most of us are either gold or silver orientated. And, you need to consider which team you support before buying. It’s also worth avoiding colored diamonds unless you can be 100% sure they’ll stand the test of time. Green gems to match your green eyes, for instance, could work. But, never opt for bright diamonds based on your fashion tastes. There’s a real chance they’ll clash with whatever you wear ten years down the line. Instead, pick choices which will work with any outfit you wear from now on.
Design your own
If you’re worried about finding the right thing, why not design your ring? Diamond retailers like Blue Nile offer the chance to buy diamonds separately. If that interests you, it’s worth reading reviews like this one on https://diamondexpert.com/blue-nile-review/ to get a better idea of whether it would suit. You’re then free to select your band and design a ring which suits your exact tastes. As well as ensuring exclusivity, this allows you to design a ring you know you can wear for years to come. And, that’s what this is all about!
Get yourself a backup
While it took me a couple months to remember to wear my engagement ring, I now feel naked when I’m not wearing them. I only take my rings off to sleep and shower and on a day when I’m going to be rougher on my hands, I opt for a rubber ring. Cleaning, working out, hiking, music festivals- not work ruining or losing my rings. You can get packs of cute rubber rings really inexpensively.
Choose something subtle
We get the temptation to go big with your wedding ring. And, why shouldn’t you sing loud and proud about marriage? Well, for one; a hefty wedding ring isn’t always practical. To each his own, but I borrowed my mom’s ring for my “something borrowed” and it drove me nuts! Way too big for me! Instead, opting for subtle rings like those shown on www.refinery29.com is sure to work better. Get this right, and you won’t even notice when you’re wearing it. And, wearability doesn’t get much better than that!
