The antique wedding ring sector is going nuts. Suddenly many people have made a decision that a new simple gold wedding ring does not properly represent their emotions on their wedding day.

There are many different types of antique wedding rings - all chosen for different reasons.

The simple gold wedding ring

There is a love associated with vintage rings, so even for a plain band, these are popular. The antique wedding band also tend to be a different colour and design to modern bands, so if you possess an antique engagement ring, but choosing a wedding ring from the same era, you are likely to get a better match between the metals.

Engraved gold bands

This is not a new concept in anyway, indeed engraved bands have been around along time and for men, it was a symbol of wealth and prosperity. So if you are a groom and searching for an antique wedding ring, you will find some good examples of engraved wedding bands available.

Jewelled rings

Should you be looking for one of the many striking antique jewelled rings then you must be cautious regarding the setting. Simply because a ring is old does not mean that it is hardy, for all you know it spent a lot of its life in a box, or even on the finger of rich lady who wouldn't have dressed herself, let alone done the washing up! So it is up to you to be sure that your gemstones have a good sturdy setting. Should you be buying from a reliable jeweller they should discuss this with you and they should offer advice if they believe the ring is too delicate or requiring repairs.

Since you will be putting on your wedding ring all the time it is important that it is practical as well as attractive. A practical ring is one that you put on and enjoy and don't need to bother about. So look carefully at the settings. Is the setting likely to bring in dirt? Will it be hard to keep clean. Is the ring sufficiently prominent to get in the way? These are very important aspects to consider.

Lastly, when purchasing an antique wedding ring, just like any antiques you should get a valuation certificate. It is great if this is an independent valuation, but in house will do if it is all that is available.
