Manufacturers stop production. Vendors close down&#8230; Just like cars, every year or so <strong>the line gets renewed, revamped<\/strong>. Not to mention jewelers are always looking for the latest and greatest <strong>new styles and trends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo the diamond ring that you buy this year, <strong>won&#8217;t be around next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Custom designed:<\/h2>\n<p>\nIf you pass up the opportunity of <strong>buying that matching wedding band<\/strong> now, you&#8217;ll have a hard time trying to find something that <strong>matches or fits<\/strong> later.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the future, there&#8217;s a good chance that you&#8217;ll have to <strong>have a custom wedding band made<\/strong>. And custom designed rings are <strong>NOT cheap.<\/strong> Not to mention the fact that to have a custom band made they&#8217;ll need to <strong>keep her engagement ring<\/strong> (The jewelers need to create a wax). Most fiancees will not be happy about giving up <strong>their proposal ring.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nNow some jewelers sell them as sets only. They won&#8217;t break apart their sets and sell them separately. They know how tough it is to <strong>sell each piece individually<\/strong>, and how difficult it is to make one later. And&#8230; You&#8217;ll usually <strong>get a better deal<\/strong> by buying them both at once anyway. <\/p>\n<p>It works out <strong>perfect <\/strong>for the customer. :)<\/p>\n<p><h2>The one ring:<\/h2>\n<p>\nOr you could just get a one ring&#8230; The <strong>TWO-BAND-SET (engagement and wedding ring) is a fading ring style<\/strong>. The new trend is just one ring, or <strong>one piece.<\/strong> An individual ring that serves as both the wedding ring and the engagement ring. <\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Times have changed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>So here&#8217;s a bit of advice:<\/h2>\n<p>\nIf you&#8217;re traditional and want both rings, but are tight on money&#8230; Be smart&#8230; <strong>Put the matching wedding band in layaway.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Layaways are interest free:<\/h2>\n<p>\nPay on the wedding ring away until you need it. <\/p>\n<p>\nPayments are usually once a month, and make purchasing that band easy. <\/p>\n<p>\nPlus, you&#8217;ll be happy and prepared when the big day comes.<\/p>\n<p><h2>And, it&#8217;ll all MATCH!<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A lot of guys scratch their heads and ponder this eternal question when making a diamond engagement ring purchase.
