Changes are everywhere. Changes of jewelry materials are also prevalent in the present scenario. Everyone wants to make his or her wedding ring something differently. That is why the introduction of new materials. That is why yellow alloy of gold, hardened with copper and Silver or tin and bismuth have got a chance to make the list complete. Copper, silver, tin or bismuth is used to make the gold more durable and hard. Now a day a trend is that wedding ring can not be made with out platinum or titanium. These are more durable and fashionable too. Platinum with white alloys of gold are demanding by the wedding couples. Slightly yellow ‘white’ gold alloys which was used with gold is now replaced with cheaper nickel-gold alloy with a plating of rhodium. This can be cheap than before but it is it is not at all durable and good. As we have said earlier that titanium has become a hot element for making a wedding ring and every couple wants that. The reasons are its durability, affordability, and gunmetal grey color. Tungsten carbide is also another metal which is gradually picking its name in this list of wedding ring materials. With gold or platinum inlays tungsten carbide is used. The most inexpensive and common ring material is nickel silver. Now the most shocking and striking news in this ground is that couples are also considering stainless steel as the material for their wedding ring. It is equally durable like platinum and titanium and can be molded to a finer finish than the metals mentioned before. But probable problem is that it corrodes over time and thus do not convey a sense of permanence. That is the same problem with metals like brass, silver and copper. The toxicity of aluminum and tin and carcinogenic nature of lead have made these metals not suitable for making wedding rings. Wood, stone and organic materials can also be used for decorations and adding more beauty to the ring.

Diamond wedding ring is always the foremost favorite wedding ring of all the couples. Be it western or be it eastern. Designing houses are providing wide range of diamond rings. Each ring is crafted with ultimate intricacies and fine texture finishing. Gold is and will be always every woman’s and man’s favorite. Gold with diamond studied design is a perfect wedding choice. Not only diamond but other precious stones like ruby, emerald and Safire are also worth of it. So the basic thing is not changed it remains the same.

In India gold is thought to be auspicious and that is why wedding rings generally are made up of gold. Gold ring with diamond embellishments is perfect for an Indian wedding ceremony. But now the taste of brides and grooms are experiencing virtual changes and that is why new thins are coming into the scenario. Platinum and titanium rings with diamond embellishments are becoming very much popular these days. These metals are more durable than gold and silver and they are much glossier looking and have a rendering beauty when presented with diamonds or other classy stones like Safire, ruby, emerald and topaz etc.
