We welcome spring with a tribute to wedding jewellery!


Spring and Summer are definitely the favorite seasons for a couple to plan their wedding. The sunny weather invites us to organize our wedding as we have dreamed of, with a variety of options available for both the venue, the decor, the wedding dress and of course the jewellery. We begin our tribute with the wedding rings, the jewellery that is the protagonist of the wedding, symbolizing the bond and the beginning of the couple's journey together.

How do I choose the perfect wedding rings?
Have you already said yes with the solitaire ring he has given you? Then it's time for you to choose the second most important ring of your life. How will you choose the perfect rings for you? It probably sounds simple, but it's not, since beyond aesthetics and taste, there are other factors to consider. Don't forget that this is a piece of jewellery that you will wear every day. The most important thing is to find the ring that suits both your personality and the demands of your daily life.

Here are some tips to help you find the perfect wedding rings for your wedding.

1.Start your research early:
Many couples wait until the last minute to choose their wedding rings, thinking it's a simple process. It's a good idea to start your research three to four months before the wedding, especially if you want to have a special design made for you.

2.Define the money you have to spend:
How much do wedding rings cost and what is the amount you should set aside? The rings available on the market are varied and prices can range from 300 euros a couple to over 5,000. The factors that influence their cost are their material (gold, white gold, platinum, etc.), the carat grade (18K or 14K), their weight, their design and decorative elements such as exterior designs and precious stones.

3.Choose the material:
Once you have set the amount you want to spend on your wedding rings, the next step is to choose your material. Gold, platinum, titanium, but even palladium, tungsten or silver. There is a metal for every aesthetic and... budget.

i.Gold plugs

Like diamond for solitaire rings, gold is the most classic and widespread metal for wedding rings. The choices are many in both design, sizes, carvings, and shades of white, yellow and pink. Just like the "little black dress", gold wedding rings are always in fashion and can be easily combined with other jewellery and any look. For more durability and shine, choose 18K or 14K gold.

ii.Platinum screws

Platinum is an expensive choice in metal, but its durability will not disappoint. Platinum can withstand the wear and tear of time, and it won't oxidize or fade, so it never loses its shine.

4.Choose the wedding ring that matches your everyday life and aesthetics

Once you have settled on the material of the wedding ring the next step is to come up with the style of the ring.
You can find a wide variety of designs and many different suggestions. Classic wedding rings, modern, romantic, hammered, sandblasted or grained, two-tone, curved or plain, matte or shiny, with or without diamonds, the list of options and different styles is very long.

Choose the ring that you really like but keep in mind that you will be wearing this ring every day for many years, so make sure it doesn't get in the way of your everyday life. Its shape, weight and width are elements that will determine how comfortable it will be. So make sure to try different designs before you settle on one. Although there are no strict rules, we would advise that when you do your research, you should also bring your moniker with you so that you can pair it with your wedding ring. They don't have to match perfectly, of course. But it would definitely help you in your choice to see how these two rings look together, which, after all, could be worn on the same hand. Men are not used to wearing jewellery and usually want a ring that is simple and lightweight, so that it doesn't hinder their movements. Their most common choice in metal is white or yellow gold. If the bride-to-be wants her wedding ring in a different color of gold or with a more striking design, it is perfectly acceptable for the couple to choose two different rings.

5. Think about what you want engraved on the inside
The rings symbolize the union, the bond and the love of the couple. They are usually engraved internally with the name of our partner, the date of marriage or acquaintance, and sometimes couples choose to engrave a small phrase or word that is important to them.
