Choosing the right wedding ring can be a challenge. There are numerous metals, colors, and styles, as well as the choice of whether to have accent diamonds or other gems included. The bride can opt for a ring that matches her engagement ring, or one that has a different but still complementary design. Even the groom, who has in the past been severely restricted in his choice of ring style, has a much greater range of materials and designs. Finding just the right ring can be difficult, but this is where bespoke design services, can prove beneficial.
Material
Choose a wedding ring material that not only looks the part, but that will last. The softest, 22ct gold will not withstand heavy use and may not be suitable as the material for a ring that will be worn every day for the rest of your life. White gold will need the rhodium coating reapplied once in a while, and there are considerations with other metals too. Titanium is light, and tungsten heavy, both of which can feel awkward on the finger if you are not used to them.
Shape
Since lavish wedding ring designs were decreed as too pagan by the Christian church in the 9th Century, wedding rings have been simple in their shape and design. However, recent trends have seen unique shapes, as well as those that are designed to ensure that the wedding ring sits comfortably alongside an engagement ring, more readily available. Court shape, flat profile, and D-Shape are the most common, but with bespoke ring designs you can choose any shape that you want.
Accent Diamonds
Traditionally wedding rings are plain and simple, and while recent trends have seen a greater range of shapes, colors, and styles, there are still many more simple designs than lavish and styled designs. Bespoke ring design services enable you to have accent diamonds, unique twists, and even a combination of metals and other materials to achieve exactly the look you want.
Why Go Bespoke?
The primary benefit of bespoke wedding ring designs is that you can achieve the look that you have your heart set on, without having to travel hundreds of miles to visit specialist jewelers. It also means that you can have a ring created to perfectly match and accompany your engagement ring, or a design that is entirely personal to you. Nobody else will have the same bespoke design that you have.
