SELECTING THE WEDDING BANDS

If your engagement ring has a matching wedding band, the process of selecting your band is very simple. You and your groom will probably go back to the original jewelers to purchase your wedding band. There may also be one for your groom that matches your set. If this is not the case, you will want to select your bands together at the same jeweler as the engagement ring was purchased from or from a new jeweler. In any case, keep the following in mind:

·                   Make sure the jeweler is reliable and reputable. Choose one that has been in business for a long time.

·                   Know what your budget amount is before doing any shopping.

·                   Comparison shop for good deals.

·                   Keep receipts for insurance purposed.

·                   Find out if there will be an extra charge for sizing the bands.

·                   Find out about the cleaning and repair policy.

·                   Get a written guarantee and permanent registration when you purchase the rings.

·                   Get a written appraisal of the replacement value for insurance purposes.
