at least six to eight weeks before your 

wedding date.

If the bride-to-be has an engagement ring, selection of wedding rings must 

center on that ring. She may know 

exactly what she wants. There may be a ready match available or it may be 

necessary to try dozens of rings to find the one that is most suitable. In some instances, the bride’s wedding ring may have to be custom made, this is where a reliable jeweler and trained eye guide 

your choice.

If a groom is also going to wear a 

wedding ring, many couples think in terms of a matched set. This may again entail a lengthy search to find the set, which 

pleases both of you, so be careful not to 

fix on the word “matched.” If the bride’s wedding ring is to compliment her 

engagement ring, there may not be a match for the groom. He will have to find a style that pleases him and suits his hand.

One last pointer, for comfort and 

safekeeping, make sure you get the 

correct fit. You’ll be wearing it for a 

long time.
