Wedding bands should be made of gold or platinum, unless you are poverty stricken. Silver is much cheaper than gold, but silver tarnishes. Titanium is cheaper still.
You probably want to buy these from a local jeweler, where you can look at them and see what you like and have your questions answered.
If you buy gold, ask for 18K. Lower purity alloys are cheaper, but are prone to problems. If you buy white gold, tell the jeweler you want “nickel free” white gold, lots of people are allergic to nickel.
I have been wearing my 18K white gold wedding band continuously for the last 34 years.
Good luck to you both.

Palladium
Tungston
From what the jewelers have told us, those 2 are on the cheaper end (not that much cheaper though), look fantastic, and are very durable and scratch resistant.
If you have the money, platinum is good, white gold is also nice, but does tend to start turning yellow.
Silver… I wouldn’t get unless you’re really hard up for cash.
Do NOT get titanium. When we were looking for wedding bands, she pretty much told us that yes it’s durable, but it can not be resized b/c it’s that hard and can not be cut. She said she recommends people who get it to take it off every day put it back on etc etc to make sure they’ll be able to take it off, b/c if it gets stuck on your finger for whatever reason, it’s staying there.

For long wearing, I would definatley go with a 9ct gold band. The reason is that 18ct (for example) is a softer gold as it is more pure. Softer gold is obviously not going to last as long as a 9ct gold. I went with 9ct for this reason. And because my engagement ring is 9ct and I will be wearing them together. Similar with my fiance. He chose 9ct because he is a chef and will have to wear his ring on a chain around his neck (health and safety). His chain is 9ct and the jeweller recommended he stick to that. The jeweller we went to also explained if we went with 18 or 24ct…etc, it would need to be replaced after so many years. Hope this makes sense and helps with your decision.

Platinum is wildly expensive but very beautiful.
Gold is nice, but overdone.
Titanium looks good and will last 10 lifetimes. It’s light and doesn’t scratch easily.
Silver is my favorite of all precious metals. It always looks good.
If you decide on gold then 18k would do very nicely.

Platinum is great, but scratches easily and is hard to buff out. They look dull FAST, when I worked at Samuel’s we had ladies come in all the time to buff out the scratches. If you chose gold, stick with 14k. Don’t do silver. Titanium is a new fun metal that’s super popular. Very light weight, scratches but not too bad. Can’t be re sized though, so make sure you wouldn’t’ need to be resizing it.

gold is best. 14 k gold is best. it is considered stronger than 18 k gold. 18k gold can easily get scratched, so go for the 14k gold. you can get them anywhere from $59 to $179.http://www.zales.com/search/index.jsp?fb…

it just depends on what is your favorite, it you get any gold yellow or white go with the lowest carat possible. Gold is a very very soft metal and the higher the carat the higher chance that it will become disfigured over wearing it for a long time.

I had to reply, just because I SO misinterpreted your question.
When I saw the question, my first thought was that you were asking what kind of heavy metal group would be an appropriate band to play at the reception.
Man! Did I misread that or what! I’m still laughing.

Titainium is the most wear resistant. I would suggested it as a mans wedding band. For a woman, I would suggest 18k gold. It stays shiner longer and is not as expensive as platinum.

honestly, if all you want is plain bands i would go to walmart and get matching 10k or 14k plain white gold or yellow gold bands
10k will be harder wearing.

My ring is 14kt yellow gold with 1/4k diamond in it. My husband chose a titanium band because of the type of job he has. We spent 800 between the 2.

Platinum.
But it’s very expensive.

24 carat gold would be wonderful.
