Free Wedding Guide Checklist For Her THE ROCK & THE BAND Obviously the groom is in charge of getting BOTH the significant rock and the band. Everyone knows that. Conventional American practice has it that the rock marks a couple's engagement while the band symbolizes marriage. The question is how to get the perfect one. Many jewelers will custom design a ring to your taste. Contrary to popular belief, the price may not be any higher than settling for a pre-made, cookie-cutter ring. The most common recommmendation is to stick to the dollar equivalent to three month's worth of salary. Have the jeweler explain the four C's of diamonds - Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut - as well as the differences between 14k, 18k and 24k gold. You may want to consider white gold, rose gold or platinum instead of the conventional yellow gold. If the budget is really tight, other stones besides diamonds can be used. Consider sapphires, rubies, opals, pearls, emeralds, amethyst and tanzanite! Any of these can be substituted without sacrificing the overall look
