I used to believe these myths about female wedding rings. I thought price meant everything, and that all rings were basically the same. Let me tell you the truth. Shopping for wedding jewelry, especially modern designs, can be tricky. Here's the real deal.
Myth: All wedding rings are just marked up to take advantage of couples. Jewelry stores always charge too much!
This isn't always true. Super cheap rings might seem like a steal, but there’s a reason they cost so little. They might use low-quality materials or have poor craftsmanship.
Truth: Quality costs money. Think about the materials, the design, and the work that goes into it. A well-made ring, even if it's not the cheapest, will last longer and look better. Look for sterling silver, like in the Sumsfashion 12MM geometry Chain set, as a good starting point for quality.
Verdict: Don't just look at the price tag. Consider the quality and craftsmanship.
Myth: Wedding rings have to be traditional gold bands. Anything else is just a fashion statement.
Some people believe that female wedding rings should only be classic styles. They might think chain designs or unique metals are not appropriate for a wedding.
Truth: Your wedding ring should reflect your style! Modern designs, like the 12MM geometry Chain design from Sumsfashion, are totally acceptable and a great way to express your personality. One happy customer said they were welcomed into the store by Mr. Thor and Brandon.
Verdict: Choose a ring that you love, regardless of tradition.
Myth: Sterling silver is only for costume jewelry. Real wedding rings should be made of gold or platinum.
Some people think sterling silver tarnishes easily and isn't durable enough for everyday wear. They see it as a cheaper alternative to more precious metals.
Truth: 925 sterling silver, like the kind used in the Sumsfashion chain jewelry, is a great option! It’s durable, beautiful, and more affordable than gold or platinum. Plus, with proper care, it will last for years. Greenwich St Jewelers did a nice job resetting another customer's wife's engagement ring, so quality matters.
