All of our rings are fine hand finished die struck or hand made rings. As such, fine jewelry is never sold by weight. Only cheap cast items are sold in this manner. Furthermore, as we sell over 2700 styles and there are over 10 common full ring sizes, and it would be cost inefficient to keep track of the weight of over 27,000 full sizes we offer and to price each one based on that weight. We use an average pricing system based on a the most common ring size for ladies & men. As you will find by comparing our prices to other stores, "wholesalers" & sites, our prices are most competitive. We are so confident, that we offer a money back return policy that is posted on our order page.

In the very unlikely event that you do find the exact same bands offered elsewhere for sale, in the same thickness, purity, and approximate weight, at a lower price, please email us the url & the price and we will do our best to offer you a lower price.

When trying on ring sizing devices, many people have a tendency to order a ring that is too large. An experienced jeweler can help you measure your finger accurately. If you're ordering a wider ring, it's important that your finger be sized using a wide sizer. In a narrower ring, your finger should be sized using a narrow sizer. Also, remember your finger changes. In warm weather it is larger and cold weather, smaller. Gaining or losing weight can also affect your finger size.

There are many different metals used to manufacture wedding bands. There is 10K Gold, 14K Gold, 18K Gold, Platinum, Palladium, Titanium, and Tungston. Many of these metals offer greater durability and will last longer. Be sure that your jeweler explains to you the various methods of manufacturing wedding bands, such as die striking and casting, as well as other unique methods. It is also important that he explain the various types of finishes that are put on the rings and the durability of these finishes. Some finishes will look better longer than others. Be sure to choose a finish that will not easily wear off or show blemishes.

Many people have a tendency to choose a very elaborate wedding band. Depending on the style of your engagement ring, some wedding bands may tend to overpower the engagement ring and not look well when worn together. Many engagement rings are designed to be worn alone. When one try's to put a wedding band next to it, they just don't compliment each other. Many people will choose an elaborate wedding band to wear on their left hand after they are married and transfer their engagement ring to their right hand. There is no "rule" in regard to which finger one "has" to wear which ring.

There is no religious custom that requires, or suggests that the gentleman's wedding band to perfectly match a lady's wedding band. Many times the gentleman's band will be more simple and masculine. The lady's band may be, in many cases, more elaborate or ornate. Or, even vice versa. In any event, just because two people are getting married and love each other, doesn't mean that their bands have to, or should match. Most people will choose wedding bands to suit their own tastes and do not necessarily match. This non-matching is perfectly acceptable for most people.

Many people will shop from store to store in malls looking for wedding bands. In most cases, they will see approximately 50 - 100 wedding bands in each store. Most of these bands are the same style repeated over and over, or something very similar because they are the most popular styles. When choosing a wedding band, it's an item that you will be wearing for the rest of your life. You should be looking for a wide selection at a site that specializes in wedding bands.


Beware of the following:

Beware of other sites claims of comparison pricing. The ones we have reviewed, did not compare comparable rings and the mathematical calculations showing the supposed savings were wrong. Beware of return policies...read the fine print carefully. Most exclude special orders, yet when ordering you find that all items are special ordered. Beware of claims that you are dealing with the manufacturer. The largest & finest manufacturers do not sell to the public at all as they do not want to damage their wholesale trade. What jewelry company would buy from a factory that is going to compete for the same customer? The answer is…NONE...exactly!

Beware of claims of selling at wholesale prices to the public. Such claims are illegal in ALL states.

Know who you are dealing with....see what organizations they belong to & whether or not they follow the Better Business Bureau online guidelines.

Beware if sites do not fully disclose all of the details of the items they are selling, i.e. metal quality, metal thickness, and metal width.
