Couples might come in thinking they want a perfectly plain ring, but once they see these interesting new looks, they change their minds. Wedding bands for brides and grooms can be simple gold rings or they can be works of art. They may combine gold with white gold or platinum, or they may be carved or textured. Dransfield Jewelers does a lot of custom work that involves fitting the wedding band into the engagement ring or placing two bands on either side of the engagement ring to frame it. Some people just take an element from the woman's ring and incorporate it into the man's, or they just choose something that works together.
Couples often choose to have initials, dates or meaningful phrases engraved into their bands.
Most choose the simple gold loop but the choices are almost limitless. The gold band still is the most popular choice for grooms, but there are more choices out there now than there ever have been before, including silver and platinum bands, or bands combining gold and platinum. Today, more men also are interested in bands with engraving, inlay and stones. The bureau also can tell you if it has received complaints about a particular jeweler.
