Personalized Wedding Bands
&
Engagement Rings
More and more couples are looking for personalized wedding bands with a custom touch. If you and your partner are searching for unique wedding rings, here are some ideas on how to create one-of-a-kind personalized rings. Engraved Wedding Rings: Engraving the inside of wedding rings is an ancient tradition which is popular to this day. Wedding and engagement rings are often inscribed with loving lines of poems, the date of the wedding, the couple’s initials or names or simply the date they met. Popular engraving trends today include engraving the outside of the rings or engraving humorous lines on the inside of the rings. While it may save money and time to have the rings engraved when you order them, a local jeweler may also engrave the rings at a later date. Design Your Wedding Rings: The number one way to personalize your wedding bands is to order custom made wedding rings. Couples can design wedding rings themselves or use the talents of a skilled jeweler to create designs which incorporate the couple’s ideas. Fortunately with the wonderful worldwide web, you can find a jeweler or jewelry company which specializes in custom and personalized wedding bands. If no local jeweler is in your area, it is perfectly possible to design your wedding rings through online services too. Plus, now that more and more couples are looking for unique and personalized rings, design services are now much more affordable. Birthstone Wedding Bands: Birthstone wedding bands are another way to personalize your wedding or engagement rings – and many birthstone gems are quite affordable. Birthstone gemstones can be incorporated into engagement rings either as a center stone or side stones accenting a diamond, and birthstones can be channel set into the engagement and wedding band too. The best birthstones to use for wedding bands are those that will stand up to the daily wear of a wedding or engagement ring (those listed are traditional and modern birthstones): January: Garnet and Rose Quartz
February: Amethyst
March: Aquamarine
April: Diamond and Sapphire
May: Emerald and Chrysoprase
June: Alexandrite and Pearl
July: Ruby and Onyx
August: Carnelian and Peridot
September: Sapphire
October: Tourmaline
November: Topaz and Citrine
December: Ruby and Blue Topaz Etched or Carved Wedding Rings: Etched and carved wedding rings are the most popular personalized wedding bands today. Etched wedding rings may include symbols with special meanings – for example, Chinese symbols or Celtic knots – or images like astrological signs or hearts. Etchings or laser engraving on the outside of the wedding band are most often used on hard to carve or engrave materials like stainless steel, titanium or tungsten; whereas carved wedding rings – which come in a beautiful selection of gorgeous leafy, filigree, antique and artistic cut out styles – are most often found on rings created from gold, platinum, palladium or silver. For an added personalized touch on etched wedding bands, some couples write a line of poetry or a message and then have the bands engraved with their message in their own handwriting. Because of the work involved, carved wedding rings are usually priced higher than engraved or etched bands – and etched rings are usually priced a bit higher than engraved rings. Carved rings must be ordered as they are made – and while it is best to order etchings on rings before they are created, some jewelers offer laser engraving or etching services on rings that have already been made. Unique Style Wedding Rings Today, many wedding ring designers are creating uniquely styled wedding rings for couples that are looking for personalized wedding bands. A few examples are wedding rings that incorporate designs which include guitars, the Eiffel tower, cowboy boots, animals, trees, religious symbols and motorcycles. All of the unique designs are blended within the bands’ designs to symbolize something about the wedding couple – their hobbies, where they met, or their dreams for the future.
