The most popular wedding band hands down is the gold
wedding band. Assuming that your
purchase is the only wedding ring purchase you will make, it better be a good one. Therefore,
it is important to know important criteria about gold to help you make the best decision
possible. This criteria includes:
Kartage- Even if two gold wedding bands look the same, they may be of different worth
entirely. Pure gold is too malleable to be used for
wedding rings and other forms of
jewelry, therefore all gold jewelry is
alloyed with other metals to increase strength. Check the karat hallmark stamped on the piece.
10k is only 41.7% pure gold and 18k is 75% pure gold, so you can expect to pay more for higher
karat gold jewelry. Typically, 10k gold jewelry ranges from $14-$20 per gram, 14k gold jewelry
ranges from $20-$30 per gram, and 18k gold jewelry ranges from $27-37 per gram.
Gram weight- Generally, the higher the gram weight and heavier the gold wedding band is,
the more gold was used to make the item. Consequently, the greater the gold density, the more
expensive it is.
Craftsmanship-Always check for quality in the gold wedding band. Be sure that all closures,
designs or details such as gemstones are secure.
