Generally, wedding rings should account for around 5% of your wedding budget. So, a £20k budget means that the two of you might spend about £1,000 on both rings. But if one of you wants diamonds or platinum, or feels that wedding rings should be far less expensive, you'll need to negotiate where that money will come from.
You'll also need to think about your style. Do you want a classic wedding ring like a simple gold band, or a diamond eternity band? Or do you want to have something modern and unusual? Since this is a ring you're planning to wear for the rest of your life, you'll want to make sure its style can grow with you.
When choosing your wedding jewellery it helps to consider the following points:
Wedding Dress Neckline - Consider the neckline of your dress. Strapless dresses usually suit a rounder shaped wedding necklace whereas a dress with a V-shape looks good with pearl pendants and wedding necklaces that include a drop.
Detailing - Does your wedding dress include any beaded detailing? Try to match the detail of your wedding jewellery to any detailing included on your dress. For example if your dress has crystal beading it is best to try and include this in your wedding jewellery. It is also worth thinking about the types of hair decorations you will be wearing, these should ideally match your wedding jewellery as well.
Colour matching - If you are not sure which beads will match best, ask for a sample from your wedding jewellery supplier. That way you can be sure you've got the correct match.
