Depending on your budget, you can have varying degrees of gold from 14 karat up to 24. Increasingly, many couples are going for a mixture of both platinum and gold in their custom wedding rings. Another option is Titanium, which is becoming more and more popular. Titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and is three times stronger then steel. It is also stronger then Gold, Platinum and Silver. If customers are not satisfied with the ring purchased, the jewelers offer to either refund the money or exchange it for another piece. Most platinum jewelry develops a natural patina or matte effect over time. This can be corrected by having the ring polished by a qualified jeweler.
