The number one rule when choosing your wedding ring is simple – there are no rules.
When picking out a wedding ring brides traditionally sought a band that would ‘match’ the accompanying engagement ring, these days however the mixed metal look is the hottest trend.
Pairing a white gold or platinum engagement ring with a yellow or rose gold wedding band is an emerging style choice amongst trendsetters. Mixed metal sets allow brides to express their own sense of style and fashion.
Just because you and your fiancé are a perfect match, doesn’t mean your wedding set should be!
