When to Upgrade your Wedding Bands

Posted by ringsdirect on July 4th, 2013

When you first get married, you are just happy to have found the one you can be with for the rest of your life. The man buys the best engagement ring that he can afford, but neither of you may think that it’s important to spend a lot of money on the wedding bands. However, after some time has passed, you may want to upgrade your rings. A good time to consider upgrading your wedding bands is at the 10 year period.

Women like to have the chance to upgrade their engagement ring, especially if the ring is on the small side. It is a great anniversary gift to allow a woman to get more diamonds added to their engagement ring, especially if she gets to get the ring made just the way she wants it. This is a special way to show that your love has endured the test of time.

Both men and women can enjoy getting an upgraded wedding band. Say the initial wedding band you both have is in 9 karat gold. You will likely find that a higher karat of gold will make the wedding bands even more special. You can also go from yellow gold to white gold wedding rings or platinum. There is even a new type of metal being used in wedding bands that is gaining popularity called palladium. If you want to upgrade your wedding band to a higher karat, you can consider going with a 18 karat gold.

Getting a higher grade of metal is not the only option for upgrading your wedding bands. If your first wedding bands are pretty thin, you can spend a little more money and get wedding bands that are wider. Wider wedding bands tend to be more comfortable so it’s a good idea to consider getting a wider width on your band if you are thinking about upgrading.

On Rings Direct you can choose the options for your wedding band and create the perfect wedding band for yourself and your spouse. There are a variety of different choices available besides the metal and width of the ring. You can choose the gauge and the profile of the ring to make your wedding bands truly something special.
