The first thing to decide is the type of metal you wish to have as your wedding ring. You should, without fail, make sure that your wedding ring is exactly the same metal as your engagement ring. The reason is that if the rings aremade of different metal then the ring made of the harder metal can ruin the other ring.
In terms of costs, unfortunately both the price of platinum and white gold have risen considerably over the last few years. Having said that, gold is still a cheaper option. Should you decide to get a gold ring then you can get yellow gold or white gold. A lot of people chose white gold as it is a more modern look, but is cheaper than platinum. In my opinion, shopping online will get you the best deal.
Some great online retailers include Goldsmiths and Hot Diamonds.
