The different styles of wedding rings

After engagement ring, if there is one accessory that cannot be missing on your wedding day, it is your alliances ! You have probably already received a beautiful engagement ring on the occasion of your marriage proposal. In this article, discover their different styles to find the perfect wedding rings! 

Classic wedding rings

As our first choice, we have the classic wedding rings, a traditional gold ring, perfectly smooth and round. 

There is a bulrush classic, symmetrical and proportional on both sides, but also a half ring whose exterior is rounded while the interior is flat. This type of ring therefore makes it easier to have a message engraved on the inside. We also find the wedding ring ribbon, a ring that is flat on the outside and inside, with the second characteristic of being wider than rushes and half-rushes.

Set wedding rings

If you love jewelry, you may want to look into a diamond-set wedding ring or other precious or fine stones. There are different styles of set wedding rings, depending on the shape given to the ring, which can be intertwined or double-ringed, but also by the type of its setting which will give a very different aesthetic.

The most classic choice is the claw setting, where each stone is held by means of claws (generally ranging from four to six, but which can be doubled).There is also the barrette setting, where each stone is separated from the others by a gold bar. Finally, as a popular choice, there is also the channel setting technique. Here, the stones are slid between two gold channels. The appearance is modern and the touch smooth, a more contemporary aesthetic than the previous ones.

“Fantasy” alliances

If you don't recognize yourself in either simple or set wedding rings, you can turn to unusual models, where the gold is finely worked, chiseled, engraved or has a more original finish: brushed, frosted... a unique way of bringing a touch of modernity to traditional rings.

You can also choose intertwined rings for a more raised and moving wedding ring. These rings can be made of different metals or gold of various colors (yellow, white, pink) for even more originality.

Two-tone and three-tone wedding rings

You don't wear the same color of gold as your partner? The multi-colored gold wedding ring, two-tone or tricolors will seduce you! A perfect compromise to have alliances that go together while respecting everyone's tastes. 

This style of wedding ring can also have several meanings: the two colors of gold can suggest the two people in a couple for example. The three colors of gold can also evoke the temporality of the relationship: past, present, future, but also the couple and their child when this is the case...

There are a multitude of choices of vintage wedding rings of this type, but it is also a format that has been taken up by certain large jewelry houses such as Cartier with its ring Trinity, or even Boucheron with its ring Four.
