Wedding rings, the ultimate symbol of your marriage, are important and valuable items. If you choose to exchange rings on your special day, follow these simple instructions.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Money (to purchase rings)
  1. Step 1

    First you will need to know your ring size, as well as the ring size of your future spouse. If you have not already done so, go to a jewelry store and ask for a ring sizing. They simply slide some metal rings of different sizes onto your fingers to find the one that fits the best. This service is free.

  2. Step 2

    Look around in jewelry stores and browse websites to find the basic style that you each want. You will need to decide types of metal, color, band thickness, and if you want any diamonds or other embellishments on your wedding band. You may also decide that you want your bands to match.

  3. Step 3

    Decide if you want to purchase your bands separately or together. You may choose to buy each other's bands and then save them as a surprise for the wedding day. If you are doing this, you will need an idea of the styles of rings that you each want so you are sure to purchase the right kind.

  4. Step 4

    Shop around for decent prices. Many jewelers have sales or specials, and you can often find quality rings at department stores. When you find the ring you like at a price that suits you, purchase the rings and keep them in a safe place until the big day.

  5. Step 5

    Make sure the wedding rings are going to fit ahead of time. Also, make sure that they are taken care of financially. If you are going to be making payments for the jewelry, make sure that all of this is set up.

  6. Step 6

    Consider purchasing insurance for your wedding rings if they are expensive. This way you are protected in case of fire, robbery, or if the ring is lost.

Tips & Warnings
  • Get the rings cleaned at least once a year to keep them in good condition.
  • Don't sacrifice for quality. If all goes well, you will be cherishing this jewelry for the rest of your life.
