Inexpensive Wedding Rings
Inexpensive wedding rings are now widely available, particularly due to the emergence of wedding rings made with low cost, but highly durable, metals. If you are looking for an affordable wedding ring, look for rings made with silver, stainless steel, titanium or tungsten. Here are some pros and cons of each of these metals and shopping tips to help you find the best rings for the right price. Silver wedding bands are available for as little as $20 dollars, and silver bands come in a variety of styles and designs, but there are a few cons to silver wedding bands: Silver wedding bands can bend and scratch, so it is best to buy sturdy bands – avoid extremely thin wire-like bands. Silver bands are also sometimes plated with rhodium to add extra shine – but the rhodium will fade with time and it will eventually need to be replaced. For quality low cost wedding bands, the best silver bands are made with sterling silver without rhodium plating.
Stainless steel wedding bands are becoming quite popular because they are extremely affordable and highly durable. Steel bands can even be engraved with intricate designs and they are completely hypoallergenic. Beautiful stainless steel bands for men and women are available for less than $20 dollars – and extras such as engraved bands, thicker bands and added gemstones only add a small increase to the overall price of these inexpensive wedding rings. The biggest con to stainless steel bands though is that they cannot generally be resized and the largest selections of steel rings are currently only available through online retailers.
Titanium wedding bands are priced slightly higher than most silver or stainless steel bands – but in most cases you can find a beautiful pair of inexpensive wedding bands in titanium for less than $100. Certain types of titanium are best for wedding rings, so check out the titanium page if you are interested in purchasing titanium bands.
Tungsten wedding bands are affordable (generally between $50 to $100 dollars) and extremely durable; tungsten rings are even resistant to scratches. The biggest con to tungsten bands is availability – while these bands come in a number of men’s styles, women’s tungsten wedding rings are currently limited. However, as tungsten bands are become more popular since their recent arrival on the wedding ring market – more and more styles are becoming available every day. Check out the tungsten wedding band page if you are interested in these inexpensive wedding rings.
What about low cost gold rings? If you have your heart set on gold wedding bands, the best place to look for your rings is through a retailer that sells used wedding rings or gold wedding rings made out of recycled gold. Through these avenues you can find quality gold rings and you will also be supporting eco-friendly gold ring sales. Try to avoid buying low karat gold wedding rings – such as 10 karat gold – or gold rings that have been plated with rhodium: when you buy cheap gold wedding rings they will quickly yellow with time, and you will need to spend extra money to have the rings re-plated with rhodium. Plus, lower karat gold rings can be alloyed with metals such as nickel which may cause allergic reactions.
In addition to inexpensive wedding rings, you can find gorgeous affordable engagement rings made with low cost gemstones and diamond substitutes. Affordable rings look just as beautiful as rings that come with giant price tags – and many are just as durable. What I really love about these affordable rings is that couples no longer need to stress about a wedding ring budget – or go into debt for their rings – it is now possible for you and your partner to enjoy beautiful, even stunning, affordable quality wedding rings that will last a lifetime.
