Picking out wedding rings is a stressful experience. Add to this the fact that there is sometimes an expectation that they should match and the fact that there are a dizzying number of options to choose from and the newly-engaged couple will practically have a nervous breakdown as a result. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here is a short guide to matching wedding rings with any engagement ring.

Normally the bride will have a style already picked out or have a vague idea of what she is looking for. This is a good thing - it will save the couple time. The question is then whether the style will match engagement rings or not.

The first step is to make a budget just like was done with the engagement ring and for the same reason – it will make the selection process that much less of a headache and eliminate the grossly expensive rings that cost several thousand dollars.

Once you’ve done this, head over to the local brick and mortar jewelry store and see what styles are available and what is considered to be fashionable that year. Compare different rings and see how they look with your engagement ring. It is also the right time to decide if you will wear the two rings together on the same hand or on a different hand.

Before purchasing anything, look online because those retailers generally will give a better price for a similar piece of jewelry. Zoara.com for example, offers a 10% discount on all engagement rings, wedding rings and diamond jewelry if you type a code LUCID10 at checkout.

If you’re ready for some awesome, funny fashion writing, check out - if you haven’t yet - Man Repeller, who started writing a blog about all the things women adore, which men just can’t get. Soon after, the fashionistas adopted the phrase and started freely saying things like "are my pants man repelling?"

Well I’m proud to announce that 3 Lucid New York handmade jewelry pieces qualified for the choice and feature of the Man Repeller, who wrote about them on her blog. Here they are
