Timeless Elegance: Tips to Discover the Perfect Wedding Rings for Women

While observing the behavior of people shopping for wedding rings for women, we have observed that many people make the mistake of only focusing on what they would want to wear on the wedding day instead of taking a more holistic view of the ring. Yes, of course you would want the ring to match your outfit (or vice versa) and for it to be the center of all the attention on your special day. However, what is equally important is to consider the fact that you will be wearing it for the rest of your life, too!

With this in mind, allow us to walk you through the key aspects to consider when looking for the perfect wedding ring. Before we delve in more details, let us look at some of the most popular styles and wedding ring designs that have been in high demand irrespective of how trends change.

1. The classic solitaire

   You simply cannot go wrong with the good old (and super-elegant) solitaire setting, featuring a large diamond on a simple metal band.

2. Antique wedding ring

   When it comes to wedding rings for women, rings with unmistakable “vintage” appeal often steal the limelight. Antique wedding rings often feature intricate designs and influences from the art deco era, or the Victorian period, etc.

3. Infinity ring

   Twisted bands or infinity (∞) rings are a hot choice among young couples today because of the symbolism attached to such designs. Infinity rings are a romantic and aesthetic choice because they convey a very strong message without going overboard with the design.

4. Halo wedding ring

   As the name suggests, this type of ring features a beautiful halo of tiny diamonds that surround the larger center stone. Halo rings are a popular choice because of the sparkle and allure that this unique setting creates.

5. Three-stone ring

   Many brides opt for the three-stone setting primarily because it stands for the past, present, and future of a relationship. This design works well for wedding rings because it symbolizes the couple’s journey and commitment to each other.

Other interesting wedding ring design choices include pave-set wedding rings, channel-set rings, and eternity bands (which are a symbol of everlasting love). So, while we have only spoken about diamonds rings so far, today’s brides and grooms are not afraid of experimenting with colored gemstones either. Vibrant and colored gemstones like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires have become a trendy choice for our customers in the recent past and this trend will only grow stronger in the foreseeable future.

The answer to this question is easy to find after a little self-assessment. As your spouse or you will wear the ring, it is critical to choose a ring that reflects your personality, style, and character. Here are a few pro tips to help you make better decisions –

1. Set an upper cap

   First things first – define your budget for the ring. When it comes to buying a luxury wedding ring there is no dearth of options. So, you will never be able to narrow down the options unless you set a budget cap. Setting a realistic budget at the outset will help you narrow down your choices and subsequently allow you to focus on the pool of rings that fall within the price bracket with which you are comfortable.

2. Define your personality

   Every person on the face of this planet is different, so rather than taking inspiration from celebrities or jewelry design magazines, it makes more sense to assess your own personality traits and then look for a wedding ring that reflects your personal style. Writing down your traits, discussing them with your partner, or explaining them to your jewelry expert will help you zero-in on a broad category of rings that best suits you. Also, consider the type of clothing and color choices you generally make – this will also throw subtle hints at what kind of jewelry would fit you like a glove.

3. Try it all!

   Who said you should not try different options and then make a decision? Go to your jeweler and try on various types of wedding rings – this will give you a clearer idea of how a certain type of ring looks (and feels) on your finger.

4. Take your lifestyle into account

   What activities do you regularly indulge in? Are you an outdoor person? Does your work involve using your hands? Do you travel a lot? Answering these key questions about your daily lifestyle will help you make a practical choice because it will bring aspects like comfort, convenience, durability, maintenance, and cost into the picture.

5. Customize it!

   Jewelry makers around the world offer a high level of personalization and customization options that you can explore while buying or designing your wedding ring. Ask your jeweler what degree of customization is possible and get your wedding ring tailor-made in a way that it is truly special and one-of-a-kind in the world!

Apart from these five important tips, it is also important that you consider the metal options, gemstone choices, and ring design styles. Make your choice based on what material and aesthetic best resonates with your personality and preferences.

At A.JAFFE, we take immense pride in offering our patrons exceptional customization services. We strongly believe that personalizing your wedding ring is a great way to lend value, meaning, and distinctiveness to it. Here are a few ideas you can explore –

1. Design it from scratch

   Do you have a design idea for your dream wedding ring? Consider visualizing it and explaining it to your jeweler. Nothing matches the emotion that a custom-made wedding ring can bring out. You can start by explaining the overall look and feel you wish to achieve and subsequently incorporate things that are special to you, including romantic motifs, your wedding date, etc. At A.JAFFE, we work closely with our customers to turn their ring idea into a stunning reality.

2. Incorporate symbolic elements into the design

   Do you like something from the catalog but want it to be personalized for you as a couple? You can easily engrave your initials, add a special message, mantra, or romantic quote, or any symbol that is special and significant to you as a couple.

3. Mix and match metals

   If you are the kind of person who loves to experiment and make a bold statement, consider mixing and matching metals in your wedding ring. For example, yellow gold and silver, or rose gold and platinum, can together create a uniquely fascinating aesthetic and lend a special touch to the design and look of your ring.

Apart from this, you can also choose to incorporate your birthstone, heirlooms, textures, and symbols that are unique to you in order to make your wedding ring even more special.
