Gold is the precious metal most commonly used in wedding bands due to its durability and timeless appeal. It has been a symbol of love and commitment for centuries. Gold wedding bands can be crafted in various karats, with higher karat gold having more gold content and less alloy, making it softer and more malleable. Many couples opt for white gold or rose gold alternatives, which offer unique aesthetics while maintaining the qualities of gold. Its resistant properties to tarnish and corrosion ensure that wedding bands remain beautiful for many years, making gold the preferred choice for lasting symbols of marriage.
