Latest Trends in Wedding Ring
Wedding rings are highly symbolic pieces of jewellery. It symbolizes love and commitment for both couples and is intended to be wear forever. Here are some of the latest trends in wedding that you can consider.
The Solitaire – this style is a single set stone that will never, and could never go out of style. The Tiffany’s classic is a round diamond set high to show off the color, clarity, sparkle and shine.
The Three Stone Setting – this beauty was born out of the “Anniversary Ring” fad a few years back. Each stone was meant to represent a different time period in the couple’s life; its past, present and future. This style is easily individualized with many variations in the cut of the stone, type, color, setting and size.
The Eternity Band – This style was once the most popular wedding band but, recently has been seen on the left hand before the happy day.
The Custom Setting – If you’re marrying an artist, an idea man or somebody who just has a creative streak, what better way to express the love and commitment you two plan to make to each other than with a ring only you will have?! Whether it’s a special design, a unique setting or a unique metal, that personal touch can only add to the value (sentimental and otherwise!) of your ring.
The Antique – Whether this oldie but goodie is a family heirloom or a find in an Estate sale, the vintage ring offers some unique pluses. Like, a European mine cut diamond or a hand tempered gold ring from Egypt. You can count on an antique look to last for all time.
There are lots of things to put into considerations in choosing a wedding ring. What’s important is that you choose a ring that is comfortable for you to wear and of course, the choice of both of you.
