Benchmark Wedding Band Rings

About Benchmark

The Benchmark jewelry company, based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was started by Turkish designer H. Tosyali after he immigrated to the United States in 1972. In the decades since Benchmark began designing elite wedding bands for both men and women, the company has become known as the wedding ring specialists of the country and were the first to introduce the “comfort fit” design to the United States. A comfort fit ring has a gently curved interior surface engineered to be gentler on the hand so it can be worn for many years and feel just as wonderful as the first day it was put on the finger.

Styles of Benchmark Wedding Band Rings

Benchmark offers hundreds of different styles of wedding rings to choose from. While every retailer may not offer every unique design, there are four basic types of Benchmark bands to choose from.

• Titanium Bands: These bands are fashioned from durable titanium and often feature grooves, notches, and inlays for additional design appeal. Various widths are available.
• Tungsten Bands: Tungsten wedding rings are growing in popularity and Benchmark is on the cutting edge of these innovative designs with plain, beveled, and gold inlaid bands in both brushed and polished finishes for a variety of ring widths.
• Classic Bands: Simple and elegant, classic wedding rings are beautiful platinum, yellow gold, or white gold bands in time-tested designs. Milgrain edges are simple adornments to several of these band styles, and multiple widths are available for both men and women.
• Diamond Bands: Benchmark’s creativity and design innovations truly sparkle in the company’s collection of diamond wedding rings. The gems are set in a carefully engineered robotic process for the ultimate in precision, and a variety of diamond shapes are available, including round and princess cuts. Settings include channels, scatters, bezels, and other classic configurations as well as more unique symmetrical settings, waves, and checkerboard patterns. Eternity rings are also available, and some rings use multiple rows of stones for wider eternity styles.

Guarantees

Benchmark rings last happily ever after.

The Benchmark company is so confident about the quality and longevity of its rings that it offers a free lifetime guarantee on all rings. This guarantee covers any necessary resizing, or if a more elaborate ring cannot be resized, it will be replaced for free. Refinishing is also covered under the lifetime guarantee and can eliminate minor scratches and nicks quickly and easily.

In addition to the lifetime guarantee offered by Benchmark, couples should also investigate guarantees offered by individual jewelers. Many jewelers offer repair and replacement programs at little or no initial cost if the ring is regularly inspected, and some jewelers also offer money back guarantees within a certain time frame (typically between 30 and 90 days) if the couple decides the ring isn’t right for their style preferences.

Costs

The quality of a Benchmark wedding band does not come cheap, though there are affordable options available for every couple. Depending on the price discounts and sales offered by the individual jewelers, rings may cost as little as $100, though more elaborate designs with wider shanks and multiple gems may cost $5,000 or more. Savvy couples should price compare among several authorized Benchmark dealers to ensure they are getting the best deal on the ring design they are interested in.

Benchmark wedding band rings are lovely styles that offer a wide range of designs from simple classic bands to elaborate gemstone wedding rings. For more information, photos, and other details about Benchmark designs, visit the official website, BenchmarkRings.com.
