I came across this list somewhere on the web and saved it as a text file. I thought it had some helpful tips I’d share:

Here is the buzz on saving a few bucks on your wedding rings:

• Simple gold bands are the cheapest. They can run $125 to $400 each. They are also classic and elegant.
• Silver bands are modern and cheap.
• Don’t buy the designer version of gold bands. That will save you a bunch.
• If you want white metal, opt for white gold. Platinum is almost double the price.
• You’ll save almost half if you buy a coordinating set or trio (engagement ring, your wedding band and his band.)
• If you want a ring with a stone, don’t forget semi-precious stones are beautiful. You don’t have to have diamonds in your wedding rings.
• Family wedding bands are a romantic heirloom and free.
• Shopping online can save you money. Make sure you pick a secure site with great customer service.
• If you really want something more-make a plan-start saving now and decide to upgrade your wedding rings on your fifth anniversary or your tenth anniversay
