Two tone wedding bands are a great new trend in jewelry design. The ring is created when yellow and white gold is interspersed in appealing designs. Since there are many different colors in gold, depending upon the additional metals added to gold to improve its hardness and durability, many beautiful combinations can be found in the market. Two tone wedding bands are typically custom made so they are limited only by the imagination and creativity of the designer. The bands are created in various widths and can be designed with decorative accents or inscribed designs.

Composition

Two tone wedding bands are made with two different gold colors in creative and striking designs. For example, two different colors of gold can be intertwined in such a way as to appear like two ropes twisted together. Sometimes different colors of gold are designed to look like braiding. The emphasis gold can be either yellow gold or white gold. The surface of either gold tone can be smooth or etched with a free flowing pattern or by the use of a pattern such as a Celtic cross. The sides of the band can also be smooth or pattern in a recurring motif.

Process

In general terms, two tone wedding bands consist of one color of gold placed on top of or beside the other color of gold. There can be one or two bands of color change, but there can be a multitude of narrow bands of white or yellow gold. Most rings begin with a tube of precious metal that has no seams. The tubes are cut into prescribed widths and the edges are smoothed. When a two tone ring is being created, the second blank is fused to the first at this point so that the ring is a single unit with two different colors of gold.

Decorating

Any embellishments are inscribed into the surface of the two tone wedding bands. These may include standard designs such as cross hatching, chains, braids or ropes. All of these decorations add interest to the surface of the ring and make it even more eye-catching. Floral designs are sometimes used because flowers have specific meanings that add to the sentiment expressed by the ring. Celtic ring symbols have seen a resurgence in popularity with such themes as the Celtic Cross and the Infinity Knot. The work thus far is usually accomplished by machines that help to standardize the finished product.

Finishing

The finishing steps in the production of two tone gold wedding bands include smoothing any snags or burrs, polishing the surface of the ring so that its luster is displayed and checking for any irregularities in any part of the ring. The identification marks such as trademarks are placed on the ring and it is ready for shipment to a jeweler or distributor. The manufacturers take a great deal of pride in the product, knowing that wedding bands are intended to be worn for a lifetime and to reflect perfection in the marriage relationship.
