Congrats, you’re getting married! The journey’s just starting, and the next big question to consider is which wedding ring you should get. In today’s world, no longer are ring options just standard gold, silver, or platinum. In fact, the world of wedding rings has exploded into so many choices that it can seem overwhelming. If you’re struggling to determine the best wedding ring for you, keep reading for all the wedding ring options!
Mixed Metals
Why settle for one when you can have two? Or three? Combining white gold with yellow or even rose gold can make a truly standout piece. It’s modern, chic, and makes for a fabulous showpiece. Plus, this is such a hot option that you’ll be able to find it in any jewelry store.
Vintage
Everything old is new again. From Art Deco to Victorian, antique rings are packed with character and tales of old-world romance. This also goes for family heirlooms that are vintage! There is something beautiful about wearing a piece of family history. Not only is it economical, but the sentiment is priceless.
Texture
Brushed metals, hammered designs, and even hand-engraved patterns give rings a unique texture that can be both contemporary and classic. One thing to consider with textured rings is if there could be an issue, considering the work you do and your daily activities. Will the ring get snagged on fabric or equipment? If you are in the clear then, this unique option will truly be a conversation piece.
Gemstone
While diamonds are forever, why not explore other gemstones? Think sapphires for that royal feel, rubies for fiery love, or even birthstones for a personal touch. There are plenty of options to choose from if you want to give your wedding ring a bit more pizazz. The gemstones can be the main stone or be used to beautify a diamond centerpiece.
Custom
Crafting a ring that’s uniquely ‘you’ can be one of the most special aspects of wedding prep. Combine elements you love from different rings to create your own masterpiece. Just make sure that you discuss all the details with the jeweler to ensure that your rings are completed by the big day, and they look exactly like you want them to.
Ethically Sourced
For the environment lovers out there, rings made of recycled metals and conflict-free stones are a wonderful option. Many jewelers offer these options, so if that’s important to you, be sure to ask about them! Also, do your research to see if there are specific shops where you can start your ring search.
Shopping Tips
Measure your fingers at different times of day to understand the potential size changes that can happen due to activity, the weather, the temperature, and even if you’ve eaten salt. Retaining water can make your fingers appear larger. Additionally, you might notice your fingers appearing a little puffier in the morning. You want your ring to fit, but not become uncomfortably tight. Another factor is if you’re an active person. You’ll want to choose a design and material that can withstand the wear and tear. Finally, trends are great, but this ring’s forever. Ensure it’s something you’ll love even decades down the line.
Choose with your heart, and you can’t go wrong!
