I am writing this article on the
presumption that you have already been taken in by the discreet charms of mens wedding bands and have decided to
buy one, or two for that matter. My concern is what do the next steps involve?
Given that we are talking about a significant amount of investment in a thing
which you will be wearing, probably, for the rest of your life, you should not
be missing out on these points which are as crucial as they can get. So here we
go:
●
Acquaint Yourself
with Some Jewelry Vocabulary
Since you have already gotten past the dilemma regarding the basic
material of your wedding band, classic metal like mens rose gold
wedding bands, or more contemporary choices, the next step obviously is going to a
jeweler, offline or online. Here it becomes pertinent that you know a little
bit of the language to keep out bumps ahead. Know the difference therefore
between ‘comfort fit’ and ‘standard fit’, ‘carats’ and ‘karats’, clarity
enhanced diamonds and natural diamonds, etc.
●
Remain Alert
about Sizing
This is important because a little too big a band will make it come
off pretty often and a little too small will damage the circulation. You can
size yourself using online sizing kits offered by many online-based jewelry
outfits but I prefer offline sizing carried out by jewelers themselves. Also,
it is good, first, that you size it up from more than one jeweler because
results sometimes vary, and second, that you be mindful of the fact that
temperature makes your finger change its size and shape, no matter how
temporary.
●
Take Good Care of
Your Band
One obvious thing about your wedding band is that it will always be in
its place for as long as we can imagine. And this is the reason why you should
take good care of it because it will accompany you no matter where you go and
what you do. I have seen men fire-fighters take off their mens wedding
bands before hitting the scene in case these are made of metals. One of
them in fact put off his mens rose gold
wedding bands just to replace it with a silicone one because the latter
doesn’t heat up and is easy to clean. But with all the metals that are
available nowadays, cleaning is not an option, it is mandatory, and soaking
that band in a bowl of hot water mixed with soap for a few minutes will do.
These were all the important points I could muster right now. The rest
obviously depends on your common sense. Avoid wearing the band while doing
rough outside work or handling chemicals of any sort and it will last for the
entirety of your lifetime.
