Selecting a wedding band is one of the most important decisions you will make as you take the first steps into wedded bliss. Future brides and grooms spend hours selecting the perfect choice to reflect their love and commitment in this traditional form of jewelry, while expressing their personality and lifestyle in their final choice. After all... this is a special piece of jewelry you will wear for a lifetime, so it has to be just perfect!

Celebrity Diamond Guy and CEO of MyJewelryBox.com, David Mamane, keeps A-listers in-the-know, and now thanks to the following tips you can be too when it comes to selecting the right wedding bands. For added shopping knowledge, his website offers an extensive collection of wedding rings for any taste and budget, as well as an informative page on Education for Your Jewelry Purchase Experience.  

Some Tips from David Mamane of My Jewelry Box:

1. Choose a band that matches the material of your engagement ring, if her engagement ring is platinum; purchase her a platinum wedding band. Re-visiting the same store that the engagement ring was purchased from is always a good idea. The three most popular wedding bands are yellow gold, white gold and platinum. White gold is popular because it coordinates with both silver and gold and is less expensive than platinum. Yellow gold is traditional, but be sure to look into the karats. Nine karat does not look as nice and will not hold up as well as 18 karat, but more karats means a bigger price tag.

2. Shop together; this ensures that everyone gets what they want

3. Choose a style that compliments your fingers and hand. If you have a larger finger, a thick band will look more attractive than a thin band, while skinny fingers tend to look better with a small, simple, band.

4. Take into consideration what you do for a living; if you work in construction, you want a wedding band that will withstand how much abuse it will take.
