Perfect Gold Wedding Ring | PC Jeweller
For many reasons, Gold is the perfect material for wedding rings. Not only does it look beautiful on the skin, but gold jewelry has a long history of being respected and treasured. It's also relatively affordable compared to other materials like platinum, which can be expensive. And lastly, Gold is durable and doesn't tarnish or corrode over time.
White Gold may be the best option if you're looking for something special in your Gold wedding ring design. This metal is typically less costly than yellow or rose-gold jewelry and still looks striking on any woman's finger. Additionally, white Gold doesn't require extra maintenance besides regular polishing, so it will always look fresh.

It can be expensive to hire a professional spectroscopist for your wedding, but the quality of the spectra you get is worth it.
Gold [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball holding some small sparkling thing, implied to be a gold wedding ring]
Cueball: It kinda makes sense that we use gold for wedding rings.
[Frame shifts to Cueball's head]
Cueball: Because a lot of the universe's gold was probably produced by R-process nucleosynthesis when pairs of neutron stars spiraled together and merged.
Cueball: So gold exists because two neutron stars got married.
[Megan walks in from side towards Cueball]
Megan: "Binary neutron star merger" would be a fun wedding theme.
Cueball: Everyone has to try not to catch the relativistically-ejected bouquet.

Metal Detectorist Discovers Medieval Wedding Ring
Every metal detectorist dreams of unearthing something valuable. For one man the English countryside yielded an incredible find when he stumbled upon a medieval diamond wedding ring in "almost perfect condition" near Thorncombe, in the South West of the country.
Now the item is expected to fetch between £30,000 and £40,000 (Sold For: £38,000) when it goes on auction later this month.
David Board, 69, found the "stunning" ring on his second attempt at becoming a metal detectorist after a stint in the 1970s in which he scoured local beaches but found nothing of much consequence, a press release from auction house Noonans said earlier this week.
Board called the ring "a once-in-a-lifetime" find.
During a recent interview, he said: "There will probably never be another one like it. Back then, each ring was individual and unique, not mass produced like today. It's stunning."
Board took up metal detecting again in 2019. During the second day of a field search, he had almost given up when he got a signal on his metal detector by a footpath.
Initially, the culprit looked like a sweet wrapper but Board soon realized that it was a gold ring.
When he dug it up all covered in mud, Board said he thought it was just "scrap metal" and popped it into his pocket.
"It was once I got home and washed it off that we realized it was a lot better than we thought," he explained.
The ring is in "almost perfect condition," Nigel Mills, a consultant in coins and antiquities at Noonans, said in the release. The jewelery has a golden hoop of two entwined bands to symbolize marital union and an inverted diamond set into it.
Inside the band is a medieval French inscription that reads, "Ieo vos tien foi tenes le moy," translating as, "I hold your faith, hold mine," according to the auction house.
Due to the location of the find and the quality of the ring, Noonans' experts surmised that it's the wedding ring of Joan Brook, given to her by her husband, Thomas Brook.
Their marriage in 1388 brought great wealth to the Brook family, the release said, as Joan was the widow of Robert Cheddar, a wealthy cloth merchant and twice mayor of Bristol -- a city in western England.
It was at a time when medieval notions of chivalry and courtly love were at their zenith, concepts which the ring reflects, Noonans said.
Now known as The Lady Brook Medieval diamond ring, the item will be auctioned on November 29.
Board goes out three times a week, weather permitting, in hope of uncovering another great relic among the musket balls and King George I coins.
"It will be amazing if I did," he responded, adding "you never know what the next signal is going to bring."
The discovery adds to a list of incredible finds by detectorists in the UK.
One amateur uncovered a haul of Bronze Age objects in a Scottish field in 2020, in what experts at the time called a "nationally significant" discovery.
And last year it was reported that a huge hoard of Iron Age gold artifacts had been found by a rookie detectorist in Denmark.
