We all are familiar with traditional wedding rings. Generally they are made of either yellow gold, white gold, or platinum, and if they contain a stone, it is almost always a diamond. But pretty much any long lasting material can be placed on the bride and groom's fingers to tie the knot. It all depends on the preference of the couple. Some wedding rings have all the trappings of traditional ones except for the color. This small detail makes all of the difference. A stone or a band that has an out of the box color pattern can create an intriguing look. One example is a black and white gold band with a black diamond stone sitting above it. This band and stone option definitely has a dark, mysterious feel. One option that is starting to gain steam is the use of a red stone to represent love. Both a ruby and a garnet can be fashioned into beautiful cuts and they have the durability to last a lifetime. Generally, these stones look best when paired with white gold or platinum. Citrine and peridot varieties of wedding rings scream unconventional with their beer colored stones and yellow bands. Similarly, one of the most captivating looks out there pairs a white gold band with a yellow gold sapphire. The unique combination gives off an aura of class and luxury that would be very difficult to duplicate. On the more affordable side of things, blue topaz is a striking stone to use in wedding rings. With a crisp look and radiant shine, this blue gem will have many heads turning. To keep the cost down, couples have even been known to use stainless steel bands with the blue topaz. This pairing is definitely not traditional, but still beautiful. One combination that will have your friends and family gazing at your hand hopelessly for hours is the radiant pairing of a tanzanite stone with a platinum band. The deep blue color of tanzanite coupled with its shine and sparkle is enough to set anyone into a hypnotic state. When you add the beautiful silver colored, bright and shiny platinum band, you have pretty much duplicated the brightness and splendor of the stars in the sky and placed it in a small package that fits beautifully on your finger. Again, tanzanite wedding rings are about as far from normal as you can get, but they are a beautiful alternative. Are you shopping for wedding rings?
