No, a women's wedding ring does not HAVE to have diamonds or gemstones. The tradition of a diamond wedding band is still a relatively newer one. Many women still opt for a simpler traditional plain precious metal wedding band without any type of diamonds at all. Ultimately, the choice of wedding ring style is a personal one.

Diamond wedding rings, or wedding rings in general, are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, known as the "vein of love" traditionally believed to be directly connected to the heart. Now different countries and customs do where the wedding ring on a different finger and hand entirely, such as in Russia, Germany, and India (worn on the right hand instead).

As long as there is at least a portion of the diamond wedding ring exposed with just precious metal then yes, diamond wedding rings can be resized. Some intricate designs and eternity rings (where the diamonds extend the entirety of the ring) are very difficult if not impossible to resize.

Diamond wedding rings can hold their value over time, depending on the quality of materials and market fluctuations, but it's likely to be lower than the original purchase price. We encourage couples to choose their wedding rings by the sacred mementos of their special day that they truly are.
