Wedding ring designs have come a long way. It has progressed from the traditional gold bands that were popular for years. In recent years, more and more couples are opting to get something different for their wedding rings. Here are some of the most exciting trends in wedding ring design over the last few decades.
Tungsten
Tungsten rings are gaining popularity. They can be shaped into any pattern, and their weight makes them very comfortable to wear.
Titanium
This is another popular choice among couples who want something different for their wedding. It looks like white gold. It’s also a metal that won’t scratch or bend. Furthermore, it lasts longer than other types of metals used in making rings.
Diamond
By getting a diamond solitaire or a diamond and metal band, couples can avoid the classic look all over Pinterest.
Two separate pieces
This type of design allows you to select an engagement ring style and your wedding rings that match. It also opens up more options when it comes time to design both pieces yourself. It is better than purchasing rings from a jeweler who designs their bands using only trend settings.
Colored stones
These are another popular choice among people looking for unique wedding rings. These stones are usually considered high-end jewelry pieces that can be very expensive due to their rarity. But, they have become more prevalent in recent years. Couples are looking for something different from traditional diamond engagement rings. The most common colors used include blue sapphire, red rubies, green emeralds, and pink diamonds (which aren’t colorless). Black onyx, silver pearls/moonstones/cabochons with various lace agate and black diamonds are also used.
Cubic zirconia
Even if they’re not natural gemstones, they give unique wedding rings. If you find some designs online that interest you, you can buy cubic zirconia or lab-created stones in place of the real thing. This will allow you to get something unique that matches your chosen ring design without spending much money. Since these are not natural diamonds, they won’t scratch, even if they’re bumped during normal wear and tear over time.
In conclusion, wedding rings do not have to be so expensive. There are trendy designs from different materials that can be designed to suit the couple’s desire. You don’t need a lot of money to get a unique piece of wedding ring artistry. One option is laser etching, which allows you to design your own engagement rings. You can engrave names/dates and images like hearts and other shapes.
