A wedding ring! It is a big deal. This is one of the most important purchases of your life, a memento, a symbol of your emotion and love...yet, it also needs to be a purchase of practicality. This is an object that symbolizes your love and must last forever -- but you must remember, this is an object that your loved one will wear for the rest of their life, so you want to make sure you choose a ring that fits your partner’s lifestyle.

When you go about town looking for the perfect wedding ring, it is important that you think of the way your loved one lives and works, as this will be one of those items that are never taken off, or if it is… only for short periods of time. Remember this is a thorough and well-thought-out shopping trip and not a purchase you want to rush. It may be a purchase you need to make several shopping trips to find.

Lifestyle Practicality

The wedding ring you choose will be on your partner’s hand every day for the rest of his/her life. Most people do not like to remove this ring for any of their daily activities -- so you need to make sure the ring fits into the lifestyle of the person in question. Consider this when making your selection.

Type of Work

Does your partner work in an area where she/he takes care of others? Is he a landscaper, teacher, nurse or does he/she have another similar trade? An activity where he/she works with his/her hands? If so, you want to think of a ring that is not too large so that it does not interfere with your partner’s activities.

Athletic

Is your partner athletic? Does he/she play on a sports team or perform strenuous sports activities? Think about the use of his/her hands and the equipment he or she might handle. Consider whether the ring will need to be removed for these activities.

Personal Style

You want to base your selection on your partner’s personal style as well. Think of the way he or she dresses at work and in social settings. Consider the colors, fabrics, and patterns he or she wears. There is a style here that he or she tends to gravitate towards. Use this knowledge to help you choose the perfect wedding ring - one he or she will love.

Let’s Not Forget Ring Size

While this may seem obvious, it is often overlooked. It may be a very small detail, but one that is extremely important to your loved one. In some cases, the style of the ring may make it difficult to get it re-sized. Besides, getting a wedding ring in the wrong size can be disappointing. Try borrowing a ring he or she already has and ask the jeweler to compare it to the ring you wish to purchase.

Your Budget

Last but not least, you need to consider your budget. You need to prepare for the surprise as the cost is always slightly more than you think it is going to be. Not to worry though, there are always beautiful choices in every budget. It might just take a little while for you to find the perfect style. Good luck with the shopping!
