Simple wedding bands can be just as much fun as ornate wedding bands if you think outside the box. Sure, they are classic, symbolic, and pair with almost any engagement ring, but with a little creative thinking they can be totally original to you! Here are some ideas to create your perfect wedding band:
Simple Wedding Bands Idea #1: Stackable Rings For Wedding Bands
Stackable rings are a huge trend right now and one that the jewelry industry has been in dire need of. Its a trend that is financially attainable, visually beautiful, easily re-purposed, and goes with every piece of jewelry you already have. So, why not make select a stackable ring from your jeweler's simple wedding band collection. Plus, when your spouse is in need of a gift, the decision has already been made!
Simple Wedding Bands Idea #2: Order In Contrasting Metal
As a result of the stackable ring trend it has become highly fashionable to wear mixed metal such as yellow and white gold together. This is a great option for your wedding set as it will keep your options open to jewelry buying in the future. In other words, even after this trend passes, you will still have the freedom to buy what every jewelry you want rather than staying stuck in the one metal color rut.
Simple Wedding Bands Idea #3: Add Hand Engraved Details
Hand engraving is truly a lost form of art. A few jewelers, like Jabel, still have artisans on hand that can embellish rings with one of a kind patterns and designs, like the design used on the ring pictured above. Adding even a touch engraving to a simple wedding band will make an ordinary band extraordinary. Just be sure to give your jeweler a little extra time for delivery as the engraving may add more time to your order.
Simple Wedding Bands Idea #4: Add A Secret Gemstone Message
The keyword here is 'burnish.' That is when you set a stone flush with the surface of the metal; it will look similar to a bezel, see example above. This is a fun way to add a secret gemstone message inside your ring. Think of this as an inscription that needs no words. Now, think of a color or month that ties into you and your fiance. Perhaps when you meet, went on a first date, or got engaged. Select a gemstone that represents that time and have it secretly burnished inside your wedding bands. Here are some suggestions:
- If you met in college, what are your school colors? Try ruby for red, sapphire for blue, etc.
- Where did you get engaged? If you said 'Yes' in Ireland, try and emerald, etc.
- If you first met September, try a sapphire, the gemstone for that month.
Simple Wedding Bands Idea #5: Engrave a Secret Message
Good old fashion engraving is a romantic way to add something special to your wedding band. Inscriptions can range from a date that is important to you to a nickname you call one another, etc. Rings have contained inscriptions for ages because they are meaningful, romantic, and special. You just can't go wrong with this one!
