Your wedding ring symbolises the eternal bond you share with your partner, so it's only natural that you want to find the perfect one. With so many options available, the search can sometimes feel overwhelming. But fear not! Leeds-based ethical jewellery brand, Jeweller's Loupe, has shared its favourite tips to guide you through the process and help you find the ring of your dreams.
Consider Opting for the Strongest Metal
When choosing the metal for your wedding ring, durability should be a top priority. After all, this ring will be worn daily and subjected to all sorts of activities depending on your lifestyle. Opting for strong metals like platinum ensures that your ring will stand the test of time and require less maintenance. Although the thought of a cheaper ring made in silver or 9ct gold may be tempting, it’s likely it will cost you more in the long run to keep it in good condition. Platinum is a great choice as it is not only highly resistant to scratches and tarnishing but also hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Don’t Leave It Until the Last Minute
Finding the perfect wedding ring takes time and careful consideration. Rushing the process can lead to regrets later on. Start exploring your options well in advance to allow ample time for customisation, resizing, and any other adjustments that may be needed. This also gives you the opportunity to explore different styles and designs without feeling pressured to make a hasty decision. A great way to start is to retake your measurements as your size may have changed since you got your engagement ring. You can request a free sizer from the Jeweller’s Loupe team to make sure you get it right first time. Jeweller's Loupe also offer a 'try before you buy' service where you can order a wax casting of the ring you like to visualise the ring better before making the final purchase.
Allow it To Reflect Your Individual Style
Your wedding ring should reflect your personal style and taste. Whether you prefer classic elegance or a contemporary flair, there’s a ring out there that’s perfect for you. It’s not always going to be the case, but your engagement and wedding ring look great when it harmonises with the rest of your jewellery. Consider factors like the width of the band, the type of finish, and any stones or engravings that resonate with your style. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and explore unique designs that speak to your individuality.
Shop With Your Significant Other
Shopping for wedding rings is a meaningful activity that you and your partner can experience together. Take the time to discuss your budget, style and metal preferences to ensure that both partners are happy with the final choice. Remember, your wedding rings are a symbol of your unity as a couple, so it’s important that you both feel a connection to them. It’s all part of the journey!
Your Engagement Ring and Wedding Ring Should Look Like a Set
We would always recommend trying to choose designs that compliment each other. Consider factors like the shape of the stones, the style of the settings, and the overall aesthetic to ensure a cohesive look. Some couples opt for matching sets, while others prefer rings that coordinate harmoniously without being identical. Whatever you choose, aim for a seamless transition between the two rings for a polished and cohesive appearance.
Finding the perfect wedding ring is a deeply personal journey that requires careful consideration and attention to detail. By following these expert tips and trusting your instincts, you’re sure to find a ring that symbolizes your love and commitment in the most beautiful way possible. Happy ring shopping!
