4 Things to Consider When Selecting a Wedding Band

Considering the fact that you will be wearing your wedding band for a very long time (we hope), it’s worth it to take the time in making sure it’s something you truly want and will love forever. Whether you’re going the traditional route; matching gold wedding bands, or the unique route; Opal Rex Ring: T-Rex fossil, Meteorite and Opal (link to ring page). There are a few things to consider when making a purchase of this magnitude.

Budget and Lifestyle: Have you and your SO set a ring budget? Budgets can differ greatly depending on lifestyle, expectations, etc. i.e. Do you really need that 3 carat princess cut Tiffany diamond (yes)? Do you have metal allergies that require you to wear platinum exclusively? How rough are you on your jewelry? Do you work with your hands frequently? All of these factors come into play when setting a budget.

Uniqueness: Are you expecting your rings to match? Do you have a family heirloom that you want worked into your wedding rings (Contact Us, we can do that)? Do you just really like dinosaurs and moon dust? Celestial Rex was created by “Chad” (link to about page) after a fruitless search for a special, unique wedding band in the traditional market lead him to creating his own, one of a kind wedding band. Having a wedding ring custom made for you is not only special and unique experience/gift, it can be passed down for generations.
