Without some much-needed guidance, this process may feel overwhelming! Fortunately, with the assistance of R&S Diamond Exchange, it’s never been easier to exchange the perfect wedding bands on your special day.
Our team keeps a close eye on current trends in the jewelry market. These days, more and more couples are selecting wedding bands composed of silver and platinum, as opposed to classic gold rings. That being said, while platinum and silver may appear similar on the outside, these metals exhibit all sorts of unique qualities and traits. If you’re interested in exploring the ins and outs of silver bands and platinum rings, be sure to browse each of the following sections.

SILVER WEDDING RINGS

To this day, silver is recognized as one of the most affordable jewelry metals. Thanks to its low selling price and brilliant luster, silver has remained extremely popular for centuries! Unfortunately, silver is quite soft, so it may show signs of wear and tear after a relatively short period. Thankfully, a bit of routine polishing will keep silver wedding rings in tip-top condition for years and years to come.

PLATINUM WEDDING BANDS

Platinum, on the other hand, is quite a bit more expensive than silver. That being said, platinum rings exhibit an array of positive qualities that you’re simply not going to receive with most silver pieces. Not only are platinum wedding bands extremely durable, but they’re also hypoallergenic, so they shouldn’t cause any skin irritation. Best of all, platinum wedding rings are quite stunning, and perfectly represent the tight bond shared by a married couple.
