The decision to choose a wedding ring is not an easy one. The ring must match your style and taste and should also complement your engagement ring. The endless options presented by today's jewellers make it even more difficult to select the ring that is right for you. These rings are available in different metals, designs and styles and to make it perfect for your wedding, you need to size it to make sure that it fits you well.

When you are buying something of such a great significance, it is very important to follow some pointers to give a head start to your search.

- Budget - It is very important to fix a budget for your ring to make sure that you are not overspending.

- Comfort - Pay proper attention to the size of your ring. It should be comfortable as you will be wearing it 24*7.

- Metal - Wedding rings are available in platinum, white gold, yellow gold and silver. Gold is the traditional choice for wedding rings, but if you are allergic to gold and need something more durable and strong, select platinum rings. Silver is an affordable option, but it loses its shine and lustre over time. You should select the metal that will last long and should be able to survive the daily wear and tear.

- Diamond or Gemstones - It totally depends on a person's choice whether he wants a ring studded with eternal diamonds or colourful gemstones. There are myriad of options available in both the cases. You can also buy the rings studded with your birthstones to give it a special meaning.

- Style - Do some research before you select the style of your ring. Solitaire is one of the most popular and coveted styles. Other popular styles include three stone and five stone rings, eternity and semi-eternity bands and cluster rings. Every ring style has the beauty of its own.

- Shop together - You should shop for the rings together to make sure that you both get what you want. It is very important to give due consideration to each other's choice while selecting wedding rings.
