WHAT TYPES AND STYLES OF WEDDING RINGS ARE AVAILABLE?
Really, almost any ring can qualify as a wedding ring or band, but there are two basic distinctive types to consider. The traditional plain, and the decorated band. Traditional bands are manufactured in several different styles, flat, half-round, and comfort-fit. Flat bands offer a linear, understated look. They have a basic rectangular cross section, with very slightly rounded edges. Incidentally, many decorated bands are flat ones by nature. Half-round bands offer by far the most traditional look. Domed or raised in the center, they have a cross section that is flat on the inside, and rounded on top. Some half-round bands can have a beaded or “milligrained” edge for decoration. Comfort-fit bands are a relative newcomer. They are considerably heavier and more costly than the other bands. They have an oval cross section with very smooth rounded edges, giving them the comfort-fit name. These bands are also available with a milligrained edge, but you might have to shop around.
