So where do you start with your wedding band and wedding ring research? The Wedding Ring Blog has been around for a few years now, and it looks as though the content is really beginning to step it up a notch. Here’s an article about using a blog search engine to research more information about wedding bands and wedding rings.
Read more wedding band and wedding ring articles on The Wedding Ring Blog.Lately I have noticed that there are plenty of good blogs out there that have great information about wedding bands and wedding rings. And unlike some e-commerce websites, many articles and opinions are not really try to sway you to a certain manufacturer or product. Then again, some are! I have found that searching for wedding bands and wedding rings on IceRocket.com produces some pretty good results. Yes – there is still a lot of clutter and SPAM. Heck – that happens with Google Blog Search as well. But IceRocket.com is a great tool to start with. Happy searching!
If you are looking to have custom wedding rings created in Atlanta, then read on! The Wedding Ring Blog points the way to help you create wedding rings that are just for you. Not many couples go the custom wedding ring route, and many settle for rings that are plain or just off the shelf. But if you are looking to have your wedding rings custom made – and it’s not that hard – then read this post from The Wedding Ring Blog.
Custom wedding rings can be special wedding rings.
Custom Wedding Rings – The Need to Be Different is an interesting – and keyword rich – article about creating custom wedding rings for you and your spouse. If the premise of the article is true, then apparently couples are traveling from jewelry store to jewelry store in search of the right ring. One option is to find a jewelry store that has an experienced bench jeweler. If that is the right route for you, then you may want to be sure that the jeweler is a Jewelers of America Certified Master Jeweler. This may or may not be necessary, but it also may be a good idea for peace of mind. Your wedding ring is the last remaining token of your wedding day, so make sure that it is up to your standards – and then some.
Also learn another option for your custom wedding rings.
And my answer is simple – NO! Palladium is not the new platinum. However, palladium is a great choice over white gold if platinum is just not an option.

The Wedding Ring Blog talks about palladium being considered the new platinum. Although it’s good to see more and more is being written about palladium, you really have to be sure that the facts are correct. But as this post points out, palladium is NOT the new platinum. It’s palladium.
I guess you have to file this one under "OOPS." But what can really be done with instances like this? The Internet, and Google in particular, are very interesting research tools. Internet resources are probably the number one sources for information, but an interesting problem arises when a number one search result includes information that for one reason or another becomes inaccurate. As pointed out on TheWeddingRingBlog.com, the top listing for the search query about the pros and cons of Argentium Sterling Silver wedding rings has information that is outdated. It becomes an interesting problem in cases like this. And while it really is nobody’s fault, you have to wonder if one day there will be Internet fact checkers.

When searching blog posts for wedding bands and wedding rings on IceRocket.com and Google, I came across an interesting query – “Argentium wedding rings pros and cons.” And curiously, the number one result showing up in Google comes from BlueBuddahBoutique.com. Here is how they explain Argentium Sterling Silver’s pros and cons:
Argentium Silver
Pros: Unlike regular sterling, this silver will not tarnish. All the prestige of silver, with none of the hassle of polishing. Argentinium is an alloy of silver that includes the element germanium. If you solder your pieces, note that Argentium does not develop firescale.Cons: Expensive! This is a new material (on the market as of 2005) and so not much information is available, especially regarding long-term use.
Ouch! That’s the problem that turns up sometimes with search. This post from 2005 is irrelevant. Well – the pros are relevant. But not the cons, and it is not the author’s fault. There is actually not a lot of information out there about Argentium Sterling Silver.
As of March 9, 2010, Argentium Sterling Silver is very affordable. It is not expensive at all when compared to gold or palladium. Argentium Sterling Silver is more expensive than tungsten (have you seen these wedding band prices on Amazon.com?), but it is a great option for an affordable precious metal.
When shopping for your wedding band in Atlanta, what are some of the characteristics that you consider? Are you looking for jewelry that is precious and has value? Or is finding something that is cheap and affordable really the way that you want to go? Below is an article currently featured on WeddingPlanningandAccessories.com about the top selling wedding bands that are found on Amazon.com today. Surprisingly, most of the featured wedding bands are made from tungsten and are very affordable.

Amazon.com’s best selling wedding bands
I guess when you look at what is currently considered best selling wedding bands on Amazon.com, it really is a sign of the times. There are a lot of tungsten and titanium wedding bands that are selling for less then what you might typically see in a brink-and-mortar jewelry store. And in the Top 100, you can see affordable precious metals such as sterling silver and 10kt or 14kt gold. And if you take a look at this titanium wedding band by a new designer, they are selling it for just $9.99! So that really tells you what the true cost of titanium might be. And also that the American public is looking for great deals.
It’s a shame that when it comes to the Internet in America, precious metal wedding bands seem to be forgotten. And according to this article on NationalJeweler.com (Blue Nile bullish on U.S., eyes growth overseas), even a big online retailer like Blue Nile is looking to expand overseas for further growth. Hopefully that will help the precious metal wedding band market overall.
