Choosing the perfect wedding band is a very personal process. A wedding band is more than just another ring; it’s a symbol of promises, love and commitment. It’s also the one piece of jewelry you will wear throughout your entire life - every year, every month, every week, and every day. Because of these factors, a wedding band should be chosen carefully. The wedding bands a couple inevitably chooses reflect who they are and what style they like.
Apples of Gold carries an extensive selection of quality wedding bands so couples have many handsome options to choose from. Besides traditional white and yellow gold wedding bands, we also carry many gorgeous rose gold wedding bands. Though rose gold wasn’t widely used for the past few decades, it has recently made a big comeback in jewelry use. Couples who choose rose gold rings appreciate a bold, unique look that stands the test of time.
Rose gold wedding band designs range from the very simple to extremely elaborate, allowing couples to further personalize their wedding bands to their taste. Below is a small sample of our beautiful selection of rose gold wedding bands. If you don’t spot one you like, make sure to click over to our full selection of rose gold bands. Many of the bands are stylish enough that you might want to buy one to wear as a regular ring!
The celtic design symbolizes eternity, spirituality, and perpetual love. With its continuous design and intricate knotwork, the celtic wedding band is a meaningful and unique choice in either rose, white, or yellow gold (or a combination of the metals!)
Hammered Rose Gold Wedding Band
Many couples love the contemporary, organic feel of hammered gold. This ring (picture at top) is incredibly unique; it isn’t often that rose gold bands can be found with the eye-catching hammered texture. Despite its unique texture, this ring is not flashy and is just different enough to stand out.
Personalized Rose Gold Wedding Band
One romantic way to make your wedding bands unique is to include a word, date, phrase or part of your wedding vows as an engraving on the ring. Our personalized rose gold ring takes it one step further by allowing the engraving to be etched on in your own handwriting. Simply send a JPEG with what you want written on the inside of the band and it will be memorialized in your own lettering. Alternately, the words can also be engraved on the outside of the ring to show your love to the world.
Elaborate Rose Gold Wedding Bands 
Along with the simple, quiet designs are many striking, bold rose gold wedding rings. The options range from a twisting Celtic Heart Knot design to bands engraved with the intricate Jerusalem Cross to swirling Paisley designs engraved with care and craftsmanship.
These are just a small sampling of the many beautiful rose gold designs we offer to couples looking for the perfect wedding band. Visit our wedding band section for more handsome designs in rose, white and yellow gold, and good luck in finding the ideal band for you and your loved one.
Wedding Bands: Modern Simplicity
December 18, 2008 by Yelena Jenkins · Leave a Comment
In an industry that became completely extravagant and over-the-top, more and more couples are calling for a return to simplicity. What started in the 1980s with cupcake dresses, 20-inch bridal bouquets and poofy sleeved fuschia bridesmaid gowns is thankfully becoming subdued. In its place, a more modern wedding industry aesthetic is firmly taking hold. This trend is even evidenced in the most symbolic of wedding icons: wedding bands.
In lieu of flashy engagement rings, many brides are opting to save the money for a down payment and stick with a simple, modern band instead. Other brides are wearing their engagement rings up until the wedding, at which point they are switching the engagement ring with their wedding band instead of stacking the two together. The elimination of the traditional engagement ring has become even more prevalent with the current state of the economy. Money-conscious couples are often cash-strapped or feel guilty splashing out on expensive diamond engagement rings. The option they turn to provides an easy yet impactful way to save thousands of dollars.
Our modern, simple rings are ideal for couples who are looking for high quality, reasonably-priced wedding bands. More than ever, now is the perfect time to buy: with gold and platinum prices at their lowest in years, big savings are guaranteed.

Is Rose Gold the New White?
October 23, 2008 by Yelena Jenkins · 3 Comments
For the past decade, white gold has reigned supreme in the jewelry world. It served as the gold of choice for trendsetters and was especially popular in engagement and wedding rings. However, the past two seasons have ushered in a new hue vying for top spot in the world of jewelry: rose gold. The fashion industry in particular has seen a strong resurgence in jewelry crafted from this lovely metal; from high-end men’s watches to delicate bangles and rose gold rings, rose gold is enjoying a new Renaissance.
One reason for its growing popularity is its rich, romantic hue that looks wonderful on most skin tones, especially those with warm undertones. Plus, for people who enjoy wearing bronze and copper jewelry (a recent fashion must), rose gold offers a luxury alternative with a similar look. You might put aside your copper bangles after one season of wear, but rose gold bangles can be worn for life.
Also, unlike white gold, rose gold has a wide range of hues – from a sweet light pink to fiery amber, a simple change in the composition can create brilliantly unique looks. This gives rose gold a versatile quality. Deeper tones will perfectly compliment the rich, warm colors of a Fall wardrobe while the lighter pink colored rose gold looks lovely against a pastel Spring palette. The latest look is a pairing of rose gold and yellow or white gold on a trilogy of rings, or even on the same band, bangle or earrings.
Though rose gold’s rebirth started with trendy jewelry lines, it is quickly becoming a jewelry box staple. The rising popularity of rose gold engagement and wedding rings is evidence that the look is here to stay. More and more couples are choosing the rich tones of rose gold to play against a diamond’s cool sparkle for a unique look to last a lifetime. Buying fashion-forward jewelry in rose gold is one thing; buying rose gold for rings a couple will wear for life is much deeper commitment to the beautiful metal.
So although white gold will always be here to stay, suffice to say that rose gold is the new gun in town. It has made its way from trendy runways to use in top quality pieces destined to become treasured family heirlooms. Though the price may be higher, its an investment in quality and uniqueness that will be enjoyed for decades to come.
