  1. Interesting design ideas and samples

Choosing a fashionable wedding ring for the bride and groom is not just pleasant chores before the wedding, but also a very responsible event. The tradition of exchanging rings has been preserved for many centuries and is considered a symbol of love and devotion to each other. The round shape of the rings represents the infinity of the feelings of young people and their love, which will never end. There are a great many wedding rings, and which one to choose is up to the bride and groom to decide, because it is they who will have to wear these jewelry without taking it off all their lives.

History of occurrence

The history of wedding rings began in ancient Egypt, when it occurred to the Egyptians to symbolize the moment of marriage, so that some kind of memory of it would remain as a sign of this solemn event. They began to exchange homemade short-lived rings, which meant for the ancient people their love, with which they would go through life hand in hand.

In accordance with the surviving historical data, the emergence of the tradition with wedding rings was discussed a very long time ago - even before the beginning of the new era. Tellingly, this tradition was equally honored in the Western Hemisphere and in the Eastern.

This tradition came to Christians, already having a certain meaning, when the newlyweds, exchanging wedding rings, thereby expressed their endless love and devotion to each other.It was about a thousand years ago.

Peculiarities

What is the difference between an engagement ring and a regular one?

Form Integrity

The round shape of the wedding ring has neither beginning nor end, which means endless love between spouses. Such a ring is usually a simple round shape and is not decorated with stones or any other additions.

Smooth surface

There should not be any patterns - flat or embossed - on the wedding ring (unless, of course, we are talking about the classic version of the ring).

Identity

The shape, metal and design of the wedding ring of the bride and groom must be the same and differ only in size.

A fashionable engagement ring today can be made from a huge variety of materials. It can be titanium, and stainless steel, and even tungsten, the rings from which are so strong that they are not afraid of deformations or scratches. But noble gold still remains a classic for a fashionable engagement ring.

Traditions

The culture of Western European countries involves wearing a wedding ring on the left ring finger. This is a very old tradition, based on the ancient belief of the “vein of love”, which connects this particular finger and the human heart. It is believed that the engagement ring on this finger will become a symbol of love and devotion. Today, this tradition in European countries has become the norm of etiquette.

But why is it not so in other countries, for example, among Orthodox Christians and Eastern Europeans? What are they guided by? Here it is customary to wear a wedding ring on the ring finger of the right hand. It turns out that everything is simple, and such a tradition is interpreted by translation from Latin.It turns out that the word "left" in Latin sounds like "sinister", which means "sinister, bad." And the word “right” is “dexter”, which is already associated with completely different concepts - with dexterity, agility and skill. So it turns out that the left hand is negative, and the right hand is positive.

Why does an engagement ring have to be smooth? Everything here is also very symbolic: the smooth surface of the ring means that the relationship between the spouses will be smooth. From these considerations, it is concluded that “bumpy” relationships in marriage should be expected from corrugated or faceted rings, and they will also have no end, just as the ring does not have it.

Can wedding rings be changed? It is believed that the wedding ring worn by the newlyweds to each other in the registry office acquires a special energy, and to change such a ring means to destroy your family. On the other hand, there are many examples when people do not pay attention to these warnings and live happily ever after in love and happiness.

It happens that relatives gave wedding rings to a couple, and after the wedding, the young people decided to change them because they don’t like the design or for some other reason. If both spouses want this, then why not do just that? This can be done, but only when the marriage was concluded in the registry office, but the wedding rings should not be changed, because in this case everything is measured by completely different standards - Divine.

Varieties and models

Fashionable wedding rings are classified according to the following indicators:

By material

The ring can be made of gold, white gold, platinum. There may be other options, such as a combination of two or more precious metals.

By shape

The wedding ring can be thin, thick, flat, carved.

By design

A trendy engagement ring can be styled as a sleek classic or as a sophisticated crown-shaped ring adorned with precious or semi-precious stones.

Rings can have different styles. If we talk about the most common option, then these are traditional semicircular rings. Women's and men's models differ only in thickness (men's - about 2.7 mm, and women's - about 2.3 mm).

The trend today is a model that includes three elements arranged in a row. Such an engagement ring is otherwise called a trilogy ring, symbolizing past relationships, present and future.

washers

A fashionable engagement ring can be round, oval, puck-shaped (straight edges and flat outside) and so on. The main thing is convenience, that is, the ring should be neither small nor large, but just right.

The surface of the puck fashion engagement ring can be decorated with pattern, pebbles, fluted and so on, and something romantic can be written on the inside.

A fashionable engagement ring in the form of a puck sits on the finger very comfortably, with minimal contact with the skin surface. This shape of the ring will be very popular with men who are not accustomed to wearing jewelry. This engagement ring has a very modern look.

Classic

A classic wedding ring is a smooth ring, not wide and made of gold. Such conciseness of gold rims is the choice of those spouses who like conservative style. For any person, this attribute is clear on the hand of a man or woman - they are married.

Such a simple form of a wedding ring allows it to have a lot of advantages over other types of wedding rings:

  • classic rings do not require any special care;
  • no need to worry about the fact that the pebble may be lost;
  • there will never be a problem with clinging to clothing or hair;
  • absolutely do not interfere with daily work;
  • no problems with everyday wear, no need to take it off before going to bed, or before taking a shower;
  • the cost of such a classic will be significantly lower than models with an interesting shape and complex decor.

Matte

A fashionable matte engagement ring is the elegance, style and conciseness of your image. This is a step forward for modern jewelry production. Matte rings are smooth or textured, inlaid with precious stones or cut with diamonds, classic or made in an unusual design. In this variety of matte rings, each couple will be able to find for themselves the option that they like more than others.

Choosing a fashionable matte engagement ring, platinum or gold, means complementing your image with luxury, originality and nobility. Such jewelry suits any style and harmonizes with any type of clothing, and can also advantageously complement the wedding attire of both the groom and the bride.

The technologies of our time make it possible to create matte wedding rings with different surface textures. Very beautiful, for example, looks like a matte ring with the effect of scattered sand. Also, the matte surface can be rough, with a rasped structure, it can be matte in parts, and polished in parts ... The main quality of a matte ring is that small scratches are not noticeable on its surface.

Smooth

Smooth wedding rings are said to be concise and self-sufficient in design. Their advantage is absolute comfort while wearing. The engagement ring, which has a smooth surface, can be made of rose gold, yellow or white.

As a decoration for a smooth ring, you can advise some kind of engraving with meaning and place it on the inside. A smooth wedding ring can be either solid or hollow. The advantage of a hollow ring is that it looks voluminous and is easy to wear, which is important if the wedding ring is worn without removing it.

Openwork

Openwork rings also belong to fashionable wedding rings. They are obtained when thin metal threads are twisted together so that a ring is obtained in the form of original patterns. The symbolically intertwined precious threads look like the interweaving of the feelings of the newlyweds, the interweaving of their love and the moments they spent together. In such a ring, it is very important to accurately calculate each element of the decoration and skillfully attach it to the base of the ring.

Openwork rings, as a rule, are made wide so that there is room for design ideas to unfold and to work out all the necessary subtleties in the patterns. But in any case, the openwork ring will not look massive, because lace, although metallic, still has an airy look, even fabulous, and it doesn’t matter if it is a female or male ring.

An openwork ring is usually gold, because the flexibility and plasticity of this particular metal is so necessary for this jewelry work.

European

European is a ring with a semicircular cross section.It is usually of a traditional form, and for its manufacture such popular precious metals as gold, silver and platinum are used. This ring received such a name due to the fact that this form is most popular in European countries. The "European" is distinguished from the "American", more like a "puck", by a pleasant roundness of shape.

Advantages:

  • the profile has a comfortable fit with a perfect ellipse on the inside;
  • the ring blends softly with the finger and is weightless when worn;
  • if the ring is worn for a long time, it leaves no trace;
  • if the ring is without inserts and stones, it can be easily enlarged or reduced.

With rocks

A rather restrained design option is called inlay. The most sophisticated solution in this case is diamond inserts, even if they are quite small. Diamonds on a fashionable engagement ring are a long-term relationship and prosperity in a new family.

On the wide model, other stones, both precious and semi-precious, can be placed. Everything here will depend on your taste: someone likes transparent cubic zirkonia, and for someone color options, such as sapphire, ruby, emerald or amethyst, will seem more attractive.

Of course, jewelry with precious stones on a wedding ring is the prerogative of women's rings, but a wide "American" with a clearly inscribed stone that has a strict shape looks very appropriate on a man's hand.

Square

This shape of the ring is suitable for a couple who love originality and would like to emphasize the peculiarity of their love story. It may seem implausible, but it is the square ring that is more comfortable to wear than the others.And those men who are not used to jewelry on their hands will especially appreciate the square shape of a fashionable wedding ring, because the square ring has a smaller contact area with the finger than the rest.

Perhaps someone is worried about the magic of the rings and their energy and is afraid of sharp corners on such a ring, believing that they will harm the karmic balance in a relationship. Jewelers took into account such concerns and therefore the design of square rings is made with rounded corners, so you can safely acquire a square symbol of love and have no doubts about its extremely positive impact on the life of your young family.

Vintage

This season, perhaps, the most fashionable engagement ring is vintage, that is, made in the old style. Any vintage ring is a real work of art:

  • a narrow ring, in the center of which there is a large stone (ruby, sapphire, topaz and others);
  • The ring in vintage style looks inimitable and luxurious, having a large stone in the center of the composition, and crumbs from it on the rest of the surface.

If a vintage ring is subjected to artificial aging, then such a decoration will be impossible to outwardly distinguish from real antiques, which are usually passed on by inheritance.

With names

The tender feelings that newlyweds have for each other can be immortalized on their wedding rings with the help of engraving. It can be just the names of loved ones, or maybe a phrase that you always want to hear from your favorite lips. Any engraving on the engagement ring will become a constant reminder of your soulmate.

Usually such an inscription is made inside the ring, and then it will be a secret for others, and the young couple will be brought even closer.And if the inscription is made on the outside of the wedding ring, then it will turn into an original decoration for it. Engraving is within the power of any jewelry master.

With rotating insert

Nowadays, rings with a rotating insert also belong to fashionable wedding rings. For the jewelry market, this is a novelty, but among the attributes of wedding fashion, it immediately received a considerable response. Such an engagement ring is for people who keep up with fashion, for those who keep track of all the new trends and trends in the jewelry world.

Stylish and modern newlyweds will choose a fashionable wedding ring with a rotating insert, thanks to which their new image will acquire originality and originality. From the combination of shades of classic yellow gold and the contrasting shade of an insert from another precious metal, you will get the impression of not one, but several rings on your finger.

materials

Recently, in addition to traditional precious metals and alloys, from which wedding rings have been made for a long time, you can increasingly see fashionable palladium wedding rings on newlyweds. This material is good because products from it are quite affordable and exquisite in design. Many jewelers even tend to equate palladium with platinum. And this despite the fact that visually palladium is more like silver.

But the engagement ring, which has a rotating insert made of diamond-cut palladium, looks so sophisticated that it looks just as good as a much more expensive engagement ring.

The highlight of the new season can be called luxurious wedding rings made of metal unusual for such jewelry.We are talking about a material called stainless medical steel. A ring made of this material, decorated with cubic zirconia, looks very impressive. This metal is not afraid of time and retains its brilliance for a long time.

How to choose

The fact that you have a really precious ring, and not a fake, will be told by the hallmarks that are applied to the inside of the product. One stamp is the manufacturer's trademark, and the other is a breakdown. On rings made of several metals, samples must be indicated for each of them.

Trying on the ring, be attentive to your feelings. There should not be a feeling of squeezing, the ring should not fall off the finger or cause any other discomfort. A perfectly matched ring on the finger is not felt. Put on and take off the ring 3-4 times to make sure that the size is yours.

It should also be remembered about some of the nuances in this regard. You don't need to do an example:

  • in the morning;
  • after sports training;
  • when it's cold outside and your hands are very cold;
  • in women's critical days.

In all these cases, the size of the finger will not be the same as usual, and the size may not be chosen correctly.

For a fashionable engagement ring, go straight to a trusted jewelry store. Do not be tempted by low prices in dubious shops, because the ring can easily turn out to be a fake.

How to wear

According to our distant ancestors, the human heart is connected through a thin thread with the ring finger. It is for this reason that there is a tradition to wear a wedding ring on this finger as a symbol of infinity and eternal love. In some countries, including Russia, a wedding ring is worn on the right hand, in others - on the left.At the same time, in the vast majority of cases, gold is chosen as the metal for its manufacture.

There is an opinion that businessmen, diplomats, politicians, public speakers, doctors and analysts can put on a wedding ring on the little finger, because astrologers consider it a finger that corresponds to the beauty of speech and the ability to properly establish contacts in society.

Any other rings, except for wedding rings, can be worn on any finger of the right hand, and on any finger of the left hand. The main thing here is to wear what you like and what looks elegant.

Price

What can be said about the cost of a fashionable engagement ring, which is a symbol of the loyalty of two people and their unity? Everything is very simple, because there are a lot of options to choose from, and each couple starts from which version of this jewelry they like the most. But at the same time, of course, for each pair of newlyweds, they can be very different.

If we talk on average, then the guy (and according to the established tradition, it is the groom who gets both rings) for the most modest gold ring of 583 samples with a weight of 1.7 grams, he will have to pay about three thousand rubles, the girl due to the smaller size - a little less.
