A shopper’s guide to choosing the perfect wedding band
You’ve set the date, found your dress—now it’s time to choose the perfect wedding band. Finding a ring that reflects your love, taste, and lifestyle can feel overwhelming, but a few steps can help simplify the process.
Set a Budget
Setting a budget is essential to keep your purchase within financial limits. While higher-carat gemstones and platinum bands may be tempting, options like 14K or 18K gold offer affordability and elegance. CD Peacock’s collections provide both options: Gold Coast features 18K gold, while Lincoln Park and River North collections offer 14K gold designs.
Explore Coordinating Bands
Coordinated rings symbolize your bond. You can match metals, finishes, or stone shapes without needing identical designs.
Tell Your Story
Customize your rings to reflect your unique love—whether through stone shapes, metal colors, or engravings. CD Peacock’s collections are easily customizable, and our expert jewelers can create one-of-a-kind designs just for you.
Consider Your Engagement Ring
Your wedding band should complement your engagement ring. For a subtle look, opt for a simple band in matching metal. If you want to enhance or personalize the look, explore stackable options from our Lincoln Park collection.
Lifestyle Matters
Your daily activities impact your ring choice. Those with active lifestyles or frequent handwashing may prefer sturdier, all-metal designs or bezel-set stones. For less demanding lifestyles, delicate rings with prong-set stones or higher profiles are good options.
