A cheap white gold wedding band is the cheapest way to have a white metal band, platinum is much more expensive and new metals such as titanium and palladium are still not as popular. Although they are great alternatives and much harder wearing.
A couple of things worth noting with white gold is that it will tarnish over time, the gold will become slightly yellow, this is due to the metal not being pure as there will be yellow gold mixed into the band, but the color gives it a certain charm. Also if you do lots of hard work with your hands you will find that the ring will scratch.
When you buy white gold it comes under the same hallmarks as yellow gold and in the UK the hallmarks are; 9ct 375, 14ct 585, 18ct 750, 22ct 916 - the numbers will be marked onto the rings so you know the quality of the gold that you have bought and you can tell if you are buying what you think you are buying. In the States it is not a legal requirement to have a hallmark on gold but quite often they are there and they are much easier to understand than UK hallmarks! The US hallmarks are; 10K, 14K, 18K, 24K.
Good places to look for a cheap white gold wedding band are Amazon - mad but true they have some of the cheapest prices! Also have a look at - as with everything that you buy through an auction site make sure you check with the seller exactly what you are buying and look at their feedback on recent items they have sold.
Simon my husband has a white gold wedding band and when we were married nearly 15 years ago his band cost more than many of the white gold wedding bands you can find now! We bought his at a local jewellery shop and should have bought the size smaller as it slipped off his finger at the airport when he was carrying our suitcases for our honeymoon! Luckily it was found but if it happens again at least I know where to go for a spare!
Here are some cheap wedding rings that I have found that are available at the moment and that match the sort of prices you would find on Ebay or Amazon, as with everything you do pay for what you get and the higher the quality or carat of the ring the higher the price. Hope you find what you are looking for.
