Plain Wedding Band

Suggestions For Wedding Bands Without Gem Stones

Classic Wedding Bands

 

The broad meaning of plain wedding bands would mean a gold or sterling silver wedding band without gemstones. If you have not had much exposure to styles and concepts for ladies and mens wedding band rings without gems, you would expect such jewels to be dull and boring. After all gemstones add meaning and beauty to a jewel, leaving gems and diamonds out of a wedding band might seem to detract from the appearance and significance of the ring. In the next few paragraphs we cover the main issues related to a plain wedding band. The idea is not to sell you something but rather to make you aware of which band ring to choose.

Simplicity:   It is not uncommon to find people (more often men) who do not like to wear jewelry. But a wedding band is more than just a style or fashion, they are therefore willing to wear simple wedding bands for reasons of tradition and significance. In this case, a simple gold or silver wedding band with no stones would be a great choice. Kaisilver produces dozens of plain wedding bands each season, most of these buyers wear very little jewelry besides the wedding band on their fingers. In it's simplest form a plain wedding band ring can be a ring with no design or etching.

Price Factor: When budgeting for any jewel, there are various cost components that add to the final price tag. Metal, gems and diamonds are the material cost components of a wedding band ring. The quantity of metal, and size and quality of gems and diamonds need to be worked into an equation to ensure that you stay within your budget. It does become necessary in some cases to leave out or compromise on certain aspects of the jewel. For example, if you decided to get a 14k wedding band with a diamond on a narrow budget, you would have to go for a minimum gold weight and probably a smaller and lower grade diamond too. While a low quality diamond might only externally affect your wedding band, low metal weight will play havoc with the longterm durability of the jewel. For this reason it might be a better idea to go for a sturdy 14k plain wedding band and leave the diamond out of the design.

Metal Options: Technically every jewel can be made in gold or sterling silver. This means that you can choose a gold or 925 silver wedding band with no stones. When it comes to silver buyers are aware of the silver tarnish issue. Going for a rhodium, gold or even platinum plated plain sterling silver wedding band is not a good idea. Such platings are never permanent and wrongly touted as 'anti tarnish' platings. When the plating does come off your silver wedding band, it will appear patchy and awful. We would strongly suggest that silver wedding bands be left unplated. If you had to choose a wedding band in gold with no gems, your options would be 14k or 18k wedding band rings. There is a slightly harder level of hardness in 14k gold so this would mean that 14k plain wedding bands are more sturdy as compared to similar 18k wedding bands. For gold color, the most common options are yellow and white gold wedding bands. It is also possible to get a two tone plain gold wedding band, such rings combine yellow and white gold in the same ring. If you had to compare yellow and white gold in the same karatage, the hardness would be the same, so the gold color can be according to your preference.

For Ladies And Men: The trend to wear matching wedding band pairs has gained momentum in recent years. To be called a wedding band pair, the rings of the husband and wife will need to have the same design concept. The ring size and band width might differ, if there are gems or diamonds in the ring, the choice of stones might differ too. If you are looking for a pair of gold or silver wedding bands, the design will need to be suitable for both men and ladies. You can then consider a pair of plain wedding bands. Over 70% of the plain wedding bands produced each year have a design that is suitable for ladies and men.

Finishing Type: This is one feature that can make a plain wedding band impressive. Most wedding bands use the high polish finish, the dull sanblasted look is also preferred by many buyers. There is another exciting combination that you could try, this includes a dull and a high polish finish on the same wedding band. The edges of the band could have a high polish, the center portion of the band could be a dull sandblasted finish. A much rarer but equally exciting look can be had with the hammered look. The surface of the ring appears as if it has been hit by a small hammer. The 'size' of the hammer can be altered to give a fine or a much larger hammered feel.

Add Meaning: A wedding band derives it's meaning from the special occassion for which it is worn. You can however enhance this meaning in a few ways and this is possible even if, the wedding band has no gem stone. Etchings on the inside or outside of a plain silver or gold wedding band can be chosen with meaning. For example, the wife's wedding band could have the husband's name or initials etched on the outside or inside of the ring. The same thing could be done with the husband's ring too. It is also common to etch special dates or years on wedding rings. Symbols can also be used in the same way, a plain wedding band could have the cross or the ankh sign etched into it. Symbols like the Yin Yang and lightning are also used for such jewels.

Custom Wedding Bands:  Buyers might be willing to compromise on certain features and preferences when buying casual wear jewels but, the situation is quite different when it comes to wedding bands. We also mentioned that plain wedding bands can have enhanced appearance and meaning with some specific features. A custom made wedding band will give you maximum mileage in terms of personal preference. The jeweler need to satisfy only you and can therefore concentrate on all your requirements. Since no mass production or time saving methods of production will be adopted, even the smallest detail for your wedding band can be well attended to. This will be true of gold and sterling silver plain wedding bands. Having said that we would stress that, choosing the right jeweler is of paramount importance. Value the jeweler before you make any judgement on how good or bad his jewelry would be.

Durability:  This will be the deciding factor when discussing how your wedding band will hold up to frequent wear. Many factors will work together to define the durability of a jewel, the same applies to plain wedding band rings too. Metal weight and design are two important factors, do not make compromises on these. Gemstones and diamonds can affect the durability of a jewel in more than one way. Certain gems need special care when being worn and cleaned. The type of mounting used for the stones will also decide how firmly they are mounted. Luckily in the case of wedding bands with no stones, there is no worry about gems affecting the durability of the ring. From the view point of the buyer, durability is a very important feature that needs to be evaluated. Sadly, most jewelers do not give importance to this feature, they are happy to get their money and then leave the buyer to take care of issues that come up.
