Wedding bands are a tangible symbol of the love and commitment between two people who have decided to stay with each other for the rest of their lives. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The wedding band and engagement ring are traditionally worn on the finger popularly known as the ring finger. It is believed that the ring finger has a nerve that goes straight to the heart. When it comes to wedding bands, these are more minimalistic than an \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/engagement-rings\">engagement ring\u003C/a>. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The reason being that most couples prefer to make their wedding rings their daily wear piece of jewelry. This makes them an easy prey to wear and tear, which is why you should choose your wedding band metal with much consideration. Platinum is one of the most durable metals when it comes to wedding bands.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">There was a time when traditional wedding bands were plain bands but with time, these bands have evolved to include embellishments such as diamonds and different vintage designs. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Lab Diamonds Vs. Mined Diamonds\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">What Are Lab Diamonds?\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Lab diamonds are the ethical and eco-conscious alternative to naturally mined diamonds. These diamonds are created in a lab by using two processes called \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/blog/hpht-cvd-diamonds\">HPHT and CVD\u003C/a>. Both of these processes mimic how diamonds are naturally made in the environment. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">In CVD, a thin diamond seed is placed in a sealed chamber, which is then heated to 800 degree celsius and then the chamber is flooded with carbon rich gasses. The gas ionizes and breaks down into pure carbon which then attaches to the diamond seed. This process continues until a diamond is formed. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Meanwhile in HPHT, a diamond seed is placed in a specifically designed press which is heated to an extreme temperature of 1300-1600 degree celsius with pressures above 870000 pounds per square inch. The carbon atoms deposit on small diamond seed crystals and a lab diamond begins to grow. This crystallization can take anywhere from several days to weeks. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/lab-diamonds\">Lab diamonds\u003C/a> are also known as synthetic diamonds but they are visually, physically and chemically similar in composition to their mined counterparts. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">Are Lab Diamonds Better Than Mined Diamonds?\u003C/h4>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Natural diamonds form when carbon atoms get squeezed together at extremely high temperature and pressure. Diamond extraction causes irreversible damage to the environment. This process of diamond extraction is also unethical as the working conditions of the workers can hardly be described as humane. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">So, if you’re thinking along the terms of sustainability, we can surely say that lab diamonds are definitely better than naturally mined diamonds. Lab diamonds take up less resources than mined diamonds and they are also much more affordable. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">How To Buy A Traditional Wedding Ban\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Ch4 dir=\"ltr\">1.

A wedding band will be a \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/diamond-jewelry\">piece of jewelry\u003C/a> that you’ll be wearing almost every day. If you’re allergic to most metals, you should go for a platinum metal band. \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/platinum-engagement-rings\">Platinum metal bands\u003C/a> are hypoallergenic and won’t cause any trouble to your skin. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">If you’re a traditional bride and love everything that is made of gold. A \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/yellow-gold-engagement-rings\">yellow gold metal band\u003C/a> is going to be your best friend if you’re someone who loves gold in its most traditional sense. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">If being a romantic is your second nature, go for the vintage hue of rose gold. The soft pink color of the rose gold metal is a result of the addition of copper to pure gold. We will also make a case for the beautiful white gold. It gives the feel of platinum while being pure gold.
