Two-Tone Anniversary Band Buying Tips

Before you dive into shopping for anniversary bands, keep the following tips in mind

• If you want gold, you’ll want to know the difference between 14k and 18k gold. It’s important to note that gold’s karatage refers to the percentage of pure gold in the alloy. So 18k gold contains 75% gold and 14k gold contains 58.3% gold. You’ll see a lot of 14k gold jewelry because the higher percentage of included alloyed metals provides more durability and resistance to wear and tear.

• If you plan to stack your rings, select a style that complements your other rings (engagement rings and wedding bands). Anniversary bands are a great piece that can be worn on its own or as a stackable set.

• If you’re watching your budget carefully, consider an anniversary band that features lab-made diamonds or moissanite for a more affordable option to earth-mined diamonds.

• Customer service and the brand reputation is important. Do your research by reading reviews and looking at different brands and their return policies.
