Platinum rings and the Cost of a Modern Wedding

Two of my best friends recently got engaged, so for the past few weeks all we have heard about is about wedding venues, hire cars and churches. She has even started looking longingly into every wedding dress shop that we pass, despite the big day being more than two years away. Yet when I asked her about wedding rings, she didn’t have a clue. This seems an odd paradox to me, as we spend so much time and money on the frivolous aspects of the wedding day when the enduring symbol of the day is treat as an afterthought. Platinum rings offer an amazing investment both in terms of retaining financial value and because it will remind you of your love every day that you wear it. The longevity of platinum jewellery is one of its most prominent benefits, as when the ring is scratched the metal is simply displaced unlike gold where a scratch means a reduction in content. This means that you can wear your platinum ring every day without fear of spoiling it.
The cost of weddings is rising every year, with the average UK wedding costing around £15,000. With wedding dresses alone costing on average £900.00, it does make you wonder about the implications of investing so much in an outfit that you will only wear once. The platinum ring company offer a wide range of platinum wedding rings starting from as low as £225. Your ring will last you a lifetime, as platinum retains its gleam with only the minimum of care. It is often easy to forget, amongst the throngs of bridesmaids, caterers, photographers and elderly relatives that your wedding day is meant to be about you. That special moment when the bride and groom stand at the alter and his hand shakes as he places the ring on her finger. This moment symbolises for me the true union of the couple, as they embrace their new life together. As such the choice of rings is a pivotal choice in the wedding arrangements. There are many styles of ring available including varieties of shape, settings and weights. There is a growing trend among many young couples to purchase tailor made rings that have a common theme intrinsically link the pair. Platinum is the current on trend metal to make jewellery out of, as it has a reputation for quality. While being more expensive than gold, platinum creates a classic impression and works especially well with diamonds. With the bright sheen of the metal complimenting the light displaced by the jewel.
