Current Wedding Ring Trends

Never before has there been such a huge variety of wedding rings to select from. What are the most popular wedding ring trends currently?

Platinum wedding rings are extremely popular for several reasons. Firstly, the metal is very hard wearing and strong, important for a ring that will be on your finger for a long time. Platinum is also hypoallergenic, making it a sensible choice for anyone suffering from skin conditions. Who wants a wedding ring they are allergic to? Lastly, that fabulous luster is going to remain on that wedding ring. Unlike most white gold, platinum wedding rings are not plated to achieve that sheen, ensuring no visits to the jeweler to keep the shine topped up.

Titanium wedding rings make popular selections for those in contact with corrosive chemicals or harsh conditions. Titanium is also hypoallergenic. Titanium wedding rings are now available in a  variety of tints for very contemporary looks. Due to the fact that titanium is almost indestructible, resizing of a wedding ring made from titanium can be problematic.

Celtic wedding rings have been around for centuries. In recent times, these often highly ornate and symbolic wedding rings have seen a huge resurgence in popularity. Due to the varied selections of Celtic knots and scrolls, there is plenty of room for individuality. Celtic wedding rings can be even more eye catching as two tone, or decorated with diamonds.

Braided wedding rings can be quite similar in appearance to Celtic wedding rings. These classics are a great choice for those who are not looking for overly ornate. Like the Celtic wedding ring, braided wedding rings can look magnificent in two and three tone metals.

Paisley wedding rings can be a great selection for those who love the Art Nouveau era. Flowers, leaves, and scrollwork are the patterns for engraving and etching. Perfect for his and hers, and stand alone wedding rings.

Wedding rings with diamonds. Both brides and grooms are increasingly opting for a little bling on their wedding band. Selections range from all over pave settings, to channel settings, to wedding rings with a row of diamonds top and bottom leaving the middle of the band free to be plain or worked, such as with Celtic knots or paisley designs.

Hammered wedding rings make great selections for the groom who wants a little visual interest and texture without too much fussiness. Hammered wedding rings are also a practical choice for anyone who is likely to be hard wearing on their wedding ring. A few dents and scratches will be much less obvious on a worked ring such as this. For extra appeal, these wedding rings are also available in two tone metals.

Two tone wedding rings are becoming increasingly popular. One of the main reasons is that the inclusion of more than one color metal ensures your wedding ring will go with all of your existing jewelry, for example, both your stainless steel watch and your gold dress watch. Two tone metals can also be a great way to incorporate both the bride and the groom’s personal metal preferences into both the wedding rings.

With all these wedding ring styles to select from, how do you stop at one?
